Room was clean. Staff was above and beyond. Room service staff hospitality was off the charts, she went above and beyond and even took the time to make a beautiful display with our hand towels. Hotel location is in a very convenient location. I will stay here again!

There were limited options for breakfast. The hotel staff and cleaning lady were fantastic, we had Ester and she was great! Some of the hot tubs were not up and running for use.

I booked this hotel because of the good reviews and because it’s supposed to be a 3 or 4-star place. But honestly, I’m extremely disappointed and shocked by what I experienced. First, they gave me a room with a jacuzzi, but the blinds were completely see-through from the outside! Anyone walking by could literally see inside. On top of that, they put me on the first floor, which made it even worse. I felt so uncomfortable and had to ask for a room change. When they finally changed my room, I thought things would get better — but then when I turned on the air conditioner, a few cockroaches actually blew out from it! I was terrified and disgusted. How can this happen in a hotel that claims to be 3 or 4 stars? Breakfast was another nightmare. There were so many flies on the sweet cakes. Even though there was a cover, there was a big gap beside the door, so flies could easily get in and out. I even saw a dead fly floating in the syrup. I told one of the workers about it, but he completely ignored me like it was no big deal. Honestly, this was one of the worst hotel stays I’ve ever had. I will never come back here again, and I strongly advise others to stay away unless the hotel seriously improves its hygiene and management.

So so

Comfortable but not super relaxing. White light everywhere and colorful flashing LED lights around the jacuzzi. Quite jarring. The entire hotel needs an urgent remodel. It looks very dated and old

The room was clean, although there was some mold in the bathroom. The bed was spacious and very comfortable. Unfortunately, our junior suite had a hot-tub that did not work very well and the sliding glass door seal was broken so you could not see through the glass. Staff was very friendly and the breakfast was excellent.

Property was not downtown but still walkable to restaurants. Nice pool area and they actually had HOT hot tubs! The other places we went didn’t. So we were happy to sit in a hot one in the evenings. Clean and nice rooms. We were in building two with a perfectly clear view of the volcano! Bar upstairs was nice. Buffet breakfast was great, especially the omelette station for my son! Great place to stay in La Fortuna!
