The hospitality was the best we experienced in Costa Rica. The breakfast service was amazing. The room was everything it promised and more! The privacy and the safety measures they take are far above and beyond anything we experienced else where. The staff were absolutely professional, kind, courteous, and helpful at all times. If you were going to go to La Fortuna, this is where you stay no other place.
