"We had such a lovely stay at Nuaku! The hotel is tucked away in the middle of a beautiful, lush jungle, surrounded by wildlife, greenery, and all the wonderful sounds of nature. The property felt very peaceful, clean, and safe, and throughout our stay we genuinely felt at home. The staff made our experience especially memorable. Francisco, the manager, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable. He was always willing to help and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We truly...

Quesada, San Carlos

"★★★★★ We had such a wonderful stay at this property! The owners, a lovely Swiss couple, are truly kind and beautiful people who made our experience feel incredibly warm and personal. They went above and beyond to make our stay special, and it really showed in every detail. The kids absolutely loved the heated jacuzzi—it was a highlight for them! And the breakfast each morning was delicious, fresh, and clearly made with care. This place has such a welcoming and peaceful atmosphere, and we’re...

"My partner and I booked this property however when we arrived at 7pm, there was a large gate blocking the entrance and no one was there. We tried and tried to call and message the property and never received a response. La Fortuna is somewhat out in the country without many on the spot lodging options. It took us until 945 pm before we were able to get a far from desirable accommodations. We were preparing to sleep in our car by that time. We have yet to receive a refund or response. There...

Top San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed here with 2 small kids for 3 nights. The room was very comfortable and had everything we needed, plays a kid friendly pool, and great breakfast. My only complaint was that the water in the shower wasn’t hot enough- to get a somewhat comfortable temperature you had to reduce the water flow to very weak. The staff is very friendly and helpful. A special shoutout to the ladies working at the wet bar - they were very kind to our kids."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay at Hotel Lomas del Volcan. It felt delightfully secluded from the main strip because of the design of the property. Having a little bungalow set in the woods was very relaxing - it was like being in an Ewok village! The staff was super helpful, and the breakfast buffet had a great selection of fruits. The swim-up bar had an amazing view of the volcano. Getting to other locations was very easy. We did a lot of tours with the hotel, and we were lucky that the tours were not very busy, so we essentially had a naturalist tour guide for our family of four during the volcano trip and hanging bridges tour. We especially liked the caving tour."

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had an incredible stay at Arenal Manoa! We stayed in one of the Chato Suites and the view of Arenal volcano from our patio was absolutely incredible. The private pool was super warm and incredibly relaxing after a long day of exploring Fortuna. The springs on property were great for that as well. The staff was helpful and visited our room twice daily for a clean and a turn down service. We always had enough towels for our family of four and even some extra sweets and fruit left by the staff. Couldn’t recommend Arenal Manoa enough!"

Hotel El Silencio del Campo

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful hotel! The ground are amazing and the hot springs are a highlight The kindest and most accommodating staff I've staff ever encountered!!! Everyone was incredibly nice and helpful. The only things I'd improve is the breakfast offering and some additional lighting during the night as it can get a little dark. Would definitely recommend to anyone staying in La Fortuna"

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed in the Noah's Hideaway section of the Noah's Forest by Tifakara property, which is very new (opened in 2026). Truly spectacular. They spared no expense on all aspects of the villa, gorgeous (and notable) villla door, smart everything, integrated speakers, infinity pool/tub, 18 head shower, automated bidet, immaculate lighting, all in all, absolutely spectacular. And the rest of the details didn't disappoint either, delicious breakfast, very helpful staff for checking in (and very nice open air "lobby"). Would/will easily recommend this property to others."
