“This centrally located hotel places you steps from La Fortuna's charm, yet it's set back just enough to ensure a peaceful night's sleep; rooms provide the essentials, and the staff are famously helpful with local insights, especially when it comes to spotting the area's abundant wildlife. I appreciate that you can enjoy the simple pleasure of birdwatching by the pool, then easily arrange rafting or canopy tours right from the lobby. It's a solid choice for couples and families seeking both adventure and relaxation.”
