First, I'd like to thank staff member Gabriel so much for driving me to the San Jose airport. I can't thank him enough for his time and conversation, and patience as I am not a fluent Spanish speaker. Gabriel is what lead me to give this hotel a higher rating than I would have, had I not had a chance to interact with him outside of the hotel. This saved me a lot of money which I would've had to pay if I chose the taxi route. Aside from Gabriel's awesomeness, I would've likely rated the hotel at 3 stars or average. I was booked here through a tour with G Adventures, and looking at the other reviews, it seems like this hotel is very commonly booked with travel groups. As other reviewers have mentioned, the hotel is pretty far from downtown La Fortuna and other attractions - about a 15-20 minute walk and a $3 cab ride. No food or restaurant options close by, but there is a cafe onsite which was pretty good, but I'm sure only open at certain times. Also, the cabins themselves looked quite old and dated. I saw a few mosquitoes inside the cabin and a little roach, all of which were fortunately dead or on the brink of death (naturally). There was a small slit opening on the door and holes all over the cabin walls, which I assume was the likely way that the bugs had gotten in. The shower water would start out hot, but then changed to cold within the first minute or two of my shower. Needless to say, during my 2 day stay, I was forced to take cold showers. Also, for those that rely on wifi, the cabins had very spotty access. Was stronger in the lobby. No tv in the room either, which is fine by me. Also, many might find communication a challenge as many staff do not speak English very well, also fine by me as I can get by so not a detractor. On a positive note, the landscaping of the hotel grounds was beautifully done and very well-kept. Also realized that the hotel had a really great view of the Arenal volcano. I would probably not stay here again, but would definitely stop by to say hi and give a hug to Gabriel! He certainly was one of the highlights of my entire trip to Costa Rica!
