They were very helpful and nice asked me if I needed any cleaning services and I liked how close it was to the downtown area. Also very close walking distance to a nightclub
One of the best hotels I've ever stayed in - the staff was what made my stay over the top!

Front desk reception was very informative/helpful with options did things to do in area. The country inn property was pretty big, cottage like accommodations with much trees on the ground.
Location was pretty good too, 10 mins walk to the Main Street!
Highly recommend.

Very friendly staff. Good central base for activities around La Fortuna. Nice accommodation with well kept surroundings.
Excellent breakfast.
Very clean room, staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. No hot water in bathroom sink made washing and shaving more difficult. Grounds were beautiful, pool very well kept.
All Staff were friendly and breakfast daily was local food that tasted fresh and delicious! I do not like beans and rice but it tasted good with the fresh vegetables and natural juices on top. Bungalow are comfortable too!
amazing staff, especially Jonathan from the reception.
The room was so clean and spacious , hot water in the shower and the bed super comfortable.
And the surrounding is super green and beautiful.
Thank you so much for all :)

Room was clean, beautiful property, convenient location. Beds were not very comfortable, pretty hard, but overall fine. The staff is incredibly kind, helpful, and accommodating. Note that washer/dryer is advertised but that is incorrect, they send out the laundry for a price and it returns next day. Daily breakfast was always very good. Would have liked to have coffee in the room and there was no option to have coffee if you don’t make the breakfast hours (unless purchased from front desk)
We stayed 7 nights. The property is nice and clean, close to everything, healthy breakfast, nice staff. The reason I leave 4 stars is that there are NO LAUNDRY FACILITIES on site. You can get this service for an additional charge or you can search for other options outside the property.
Great place to stay in La Fortuna. We enjoyed big pool, beautiful property with so many plants and flowers and clean room. The hotel also has laundry service.
