10/10 Excellent

We absolutely loved our stay at Atenal History Inn. The location is very convenient. The place had so much to offer like the serene greenery, birds, and we even got to see a sloth on the tree. The view of the volcano from the tree was phenomenal. The staff were very friendly and we enjoyed the complimentary breakfast every morning. We liked the privacy of our cabana. Its a very family and children friendly place to stay.

Cute bungalows that are set back from the road and quiet. They are close to plenty of restaurants, and a few minute drive from downtown la fortuna. Restaurant on site! Loved it!

Loved that we had our own little cabin, they cleaned when we needed them to, had a beautiful pool and folage and birds everywhere. Breakfast was good and staff were great,
Jill, 4-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I loved this place. The cabins are a little small but not too bad. They’re very cute and every morning g you can enjoy a pretty good breakfast that is already included with you stay. The area is nice and safe. Everything is basically within walking distance. People that worked there was super nice all the time. Kids liked the pool too. My only little complain is that housekeeping went everyday and cleaned nicely but, the never changed the sheets in the beds. They didn’t even shake the sheets to make sure they have no little debris from kids. We would have to do it at night before we got in the bed because we can see and feel it all. They could’ve done a little better that. Other than that everything was super and yes I would definitely come back and recommend this place.

Janice, 3-night trip

10/10 Excellent

The grounds were beautiful, and the office staff was very friendly and responsive. The breakfast options (included with the stay) were tasty. The Internet was out for 3 days of our 5 day stay, but that was due to the storms in the area - not the fault of the property or staff. It was just frustrating. The parking area was very congested because the guests were pretty dumb about leaving their vehicles all over in random spots and don't know how to park. This is also because of the of layout of the lot and no designation of spaces. The beds were a little firm for one of our party.
Jesse, 5-night trip

10/10 Excellent

I love how the bungalows were so in tune and balanced with nature. Right next to a restaurant, we had a free breakfast that was amazing. Amazing place if you don't mind the rain, which is everywhere in the rainy season. Because its warm, it feels nice. There was only 10 bungalows, so pretty small hotel, but high qiality and really nice staff. If I was to complain is that we had cold water in our shower the last day, but every other day was really good and the ac worked well as long as you dont blast it 24/7. Mostly old technology at most hotels in Costa Rica. So I doubt its too much different unless you're at the high end hotels which I don't really think its worth paying for. Anyways, its in the middle of the town and really good restaurants, markets, laundry service and near all the tour activities. Highly recommend.
