This was one of our favorite accommodations in Costa Rica. It’s located a little bit outside of La Fortuna and you need a car to reach it but it’s totally worth it because the area is super calm, quiet and has beautiful nature. The apartment feels like a luxury treehouse and had everything included that we needed. The owners were super sweet and made us feel so welcomed and were super helpful with questions and suggestions. They even surprised us with free fresh and warm bread when we arrived. Even though they couldn’t speak English and we couldn’t speak Spanish the communication worked super well using a translator. We saw more birds in the trees next to the balcony than we did in many Nationalparks. It even has a private hot tub outside which we really enjoyed after a long day of hiking. Thanks for this wonderful experience!

It was absolutely brilliant. Sadly we spend there just one night before heading back to airport. Next time we coming for morecnights for sure. Breakfast is excellent and hot springs in Volcano Lodge are very nice especially on evening.

The best hotel we’ve been in Costa Rica! Full of nature around and with a breathtaking volcano’s view, this place made our experience in La Fortuna even more amazing. Everything was very clean and spacious, with a great balcony facing the gardens and the volcano. The staff is super sweet and helpful, always smiling and willing to help.

It was by far the best hotel we stayed at in Costa Rica. This brand-new place is incredibly cool and stylish. The decor was stunning, and everything was spotless. Having a kitchen in the room made us really happy, and having a private jacuzzi in the garden was amazing. The hotel staff was incredibly friendly and helpful. I absolutely, without a doubt, highly recommend it!
