Great location. Breakfast at Arenal Oasis whilst birdwatching was a treat. Bathroom doesn’t have an extractor so it got very humid. In room safe didn’t work. Private sitting area with the plunge pool was lovely for cooling down.

Great location. Beautiful tropical gardens and view to the mountains. Quite, yet only 15 min walk to a small settlement with restaurants (on a pavement). There is a corner shop 150m away and a lovely little soda/restaurant less then 200m away.

Our stay at Fortuna Retreat was absolutely AMAZING! It truly was "Retreat-style" as it was peaceful, rejuvenating, and wonderfully private.The property is beautifully designed, with natural plants throughout the landscape creating calm, relaxing atmosphere. Our room was spotless, had comfortable bed and a gorgeous view. The staff is wonderful! They coordinated all of our tours, and each one was executed perfectly. Breakfast was delicious and the outside dining area was full of wildlife. One of my favorite stays ever—highly recommended!
what a view to wake up to!

We booked this place last minute after our previous ABNB couldn’t be extended and we are so glad we found Fortuna Retreat. It was such a unique, new, cool spot that felt like a private luxury villa in a secluded jungle setting with an AMAZING view of Arenal volcano from your bed. We loved our room - very clean, spacious & well decorated with a huge balcony to enjoy nature and take in the surroundings. We have to give a huge shoutout to Joel at the front desk - he was very helpful with all of our questions about the local suggestions as well as helping plan the rest of our trip at the beach. He also helped us book an amazing “all in one” tour on our last day in La Fortuna that covered everything we wanted to do in 8 hours. Last but not least, make sure to walk down the road to Soda Tita Rosa, you won’t regret it. Easily the best meal we had in La Fortuna, at a great price, in a quiet setting off the beaten path with excellent service. We would have eaten here every meal had we found it earlier!

Room very clean and as per pictures. Staff very helpful and communal kitchen area had great views and facilities. Breakfast at the nearby restaurant was fantastic. Beautiful, surrounded by nature. Recommend the breakfast restaurant for dinner (try the patecones). We didn’t have a car but able to get Ubers easily. Highly recommend

My all time favorite hotel in the world now! Property and room were extremely clean and the views from every point on the property are amazing. The front desk and other attendants were attentive and always available through WhatsApp. Breakfast is $9/day and limited to 3 options + fruit so I would suggest going outwards for food and there is none at the property. Ubers to town are around $3-4USD but there is a little store within walking distance for snacks and water (as the property sells neither).
