What a really really nice place.

Reviewed By johnvincent

Great place 10 cabins I think with a large restaurant/bar, nice staff and lovely pool. The cabins are spacious and are well appointed. Cabins nicely positioned and spaced out over looking gorgeous gardens with humming birds visiting the flowers so beautiful. Great pool with kiddies separate pool, tidy grounds. Just a few things to note, what’s happened to all the sink plugs in Costa Rica. In every hotel breakfast menu was Fruit followed by. American or Local. Always the same. American, two thin strips of bacon cooked too death and fried or scrambled eggs with toast. Or Local, rice, black, beans. & salad. Got very monotonous for 14 days. There is no safe, some cushions for the chairs would be nice and the chairs need oil at the joints stop creaking. Also there is no hair dryer.

Casa Del Rio

5* secluded resort in La Fortuna

Reviewed By dmikeyh

Spent 3 days here following great on-line reviews. We had done extensive research. To be fair, these didn’t do the resort justice. The resort is set privately adjacent to a large river, which wraps itself around the perfectly manicured grounds. The apartments are secluded and huge featuring a king sized bed and huge shower. Very tastefully decorated. We spent time on the balcony from where we observed monkeys and birds including hummingbird and Toucan. Very special. 50m from our apartment was a very well equipped outdoor kitchen. Despite it being shared, we only saw one other family use it. The fridge and freezer are compartmentalised so each apt has its own shelf to store breakfast/ food products. There were two immaculate pools on site, one with a slide and hot tub. As we were so busy during our short stay, we simply didn’t get an opportunity to use them unfortunately. The staff are very attentive and appear on golf carts to attend to any requests. I suggest you capture a contact number on arrival as there is no reception as such. Would definitely stay there again. Ideal for couples/ honeymooners, families and friends. So glad we chose it.

Casa Maria Aeropuerto B&B

Family-run hotel near San Jose International Airport (SJO)

Reviewed By mininussini

Very nice and clean family run hotel. Owner Maria offers breakfast and a free airport shuttle from the hotel in a gated community. I would recommend an overnight stay to anyone who wants to stay close to the airport or to those looking for accommodation as a good starting point towards the Arenal volcano.

Apartamentos Rya Del Volcan

Discounted Activities, Wonderful Hosts, & Great Central Location

Reviewed By Cindy T

If you're looking for a safe, clean, modern place equipped with Wi-Fi, air conditioning, and Netflix-capable TVs conveniently located just 5 minutes of walking away from downtown La Fortuna, this place is for you! It was my second time staying here this year, and the hosts Patricia and Cesar exceeded my expectations once again. They're the perfect balance between allowing you your own space and providing you with helpful tips and spots for activities. Ask about their discounted pricing for activities and tours around the area! The hot springs are located a bit outside of the city, but easily reached with a car or a $2-3 Uber ride from RyA del Volcan. Any tours operating in La Fortuna that offer hotel pick-up & drop-offs will be able to pick you up and drop you off here as long as you provide the drivers with your address.

Malekus Mountain Lodge

Schöne familiär geführte Lodge

Reviewed By av_acnaib

Vom Empfang bis zur Verabschiedung wurden wir sehr herzlich betreut. Roger und Rosie (sind uns beim Namen seiner Frau nicht mehr sicher ;-) ) sind perfekte Gastgeber und wir Gäste wurden verwöhnt. Die ganze Anlage wurde eigens von Roger gebaut und gestaltet. Sie ist sehr grosszügig und gepflegt. Das Frühstück war sehr lecker und die Portionen riesig. Es gab jeden Tag frisch gepressten Smoothie. Wir waren in der Nebensaison dort, daher auch die einzigen Gäste, was etwas schade war. Denn sonst hätte die Unterkunft bestimmt noch mehr Flair. Rundherum gibt es nur knapp 2 Verpflegungsmöglichkeiten. Die Lodge liegt nicht gerade in der Nähe zum NP Rincon de la Vieja. Roger gab uns viele Tipps zur Region. Am letzten Tag machte er sogar noch eine kleine Tour mit uns, er zeigte uns die Grenze zu Nicaragua mit dem riesigen See. Man merkt, dass Roger und seine Frau ihre Lodge mit viel Liebe und Leidenschaft betreiben.

Wild life has been preserved and our primary and secondary forests have been untouched. Our quest is to restore the person’s whole being to its natural state of balance, by correcting such diverse factors as improper diet, sedentary lifestyle, lack of a correct oxygenation, negative thought patterns and their emotional impact, and the lack of rest or restorative sleep, among others.We do this by five Special Wellness Programs that include Detoxification and Revitalization Programs, Stress and Weight Management and the Spa Experience Program.A la carte: Naturopathy, Meditation, Pranayamas, Acupuntura, Floral Therapy, Vichy and Scottish Showers; Kneipp, Shiatsu, Shirodhara, Yoga, Reiki, Tai chi…And, as health also includes your palate: bioenergetic gastronomy, where you can rediscover the original flavors of vegetables, fruits and fish.

It's all about disconnecting!

Reviewed By TripSJO

This wellness Spa is just that, a place to get away from it all. If you need internet and wi-fi 24/7 because you just cannot let it go or you have to keep a communication line with work, then this is not the place for you. Yes, the internet is pretty much non-existent in the rooms but for me it was such a detox moment to be able to have 2 days and nights without constantly looking at that darn screen. Mind you, I would check when I was by the pool or the main area/restaurant but it was good enough for me. Pluses: the silence, the massage wow!, the pool, the room, loved the soaps and shampoos they have there. And while due to Covid right now they have some rooms closed off, and there's less staff, it didn't bother me at all. The restaurant is also more limited right now again due to Covid, but we tried every option of main entrees and desserts and none disappointed. Negatives: the glass door to the shower needs serious maintenance (it kept getting stuck). My room was Aphrodite! Loved it really and only had. that issue. All the other rooms seem just as lovely. If you are traveling from out of town/country, its a short 15 min ride to Alajuela downtown. Plenty of everything there...restaurants, cafes, supermarkets, etc etc etc.
