Kind of a mixed bag on this one. The location was good. Close to La Fortuna and the waterfall. It was quiet and the plants were beautiful. The two things I didn't like were the smell in our room and the most expensive rooms do not include breakfast. Our room reeked of cigarette smoke upon arrival. I did not immediately alert the front desk, but opened the place up and went out for a while. We got back after dark and went to bed. It smelled in there in the morning so we went and complained. The lady at the front desk was initially not accommodating to our complaint. Just blamed the last guests that stayed there. We complained about not receiving breakfast, having paid for the expensive room. The response was "your room has a full kitchen, so it doesn't include breakfast." The guests in the other rooms had breakfast included. I didn't want to go shopping for eggs, rice, beans, fruit, coffee grounds, milk, butter, sugar, paper towels and have to make all that in the little kitchen. I'm trying to relax. We just wanted to eat and get on with our day, just like most people on vacation. We were originally not offered anything in return for our stinky ash tray of a room. We left mad and did not pay the $7 a piece for their breakfast. When we returned from the waterfall a few hours larer, they had changed the sheets and used pine sol to clean the room. It was better and she also offered a free breakfast the following day, which we appreciated. It could have been handled better.

The lodge is conviniently located to literally all attractions in la fortuna. We had a very comfortable stay. The only issue was that when power went out, there was no backup power, which made us to stay without power for 2 hours. There wer minor issues like shower not working , fridge was making big noise, which they fixed promptly. The property is bit on expensise side , but they have a small hot spring and private garage parking, which makes it very convinient. The staff were very friendly

Friendly and Helpful
Great location for stopping off at La Fortuna. Friendly owner who spoke a little English but spoke more English than I did Costa Rican so that was very helpful. There’s a lovely swimming pool which unfortunately we didn’t use. The breakfast was as expected…. Wonderful. Thanks for a great stay 😃😃
