Waiting until 2 pm for my room with a great view was worth it. Despite the ongoing renovation, the room was spacious with a nice balcony view of the volcano, and the shower offered incredibly hot water. The staff could be a bit too persistent, knocking on the door frequently, but they were generally nice and friendly in recommending and arranging activities.

The hotel was in a convenient location, close to restaurants, supermarkets, and tour pickups. Even though the service was helpful in arranging activities, the incident with the coffee urn was off-putting. The dining experience was basic, and the buffet lacked variety. The rooms, while spacious with a great view, were unexpectedly underwater in the morning. The facilities were somewhat lacking, but the hot water and powerful shower were a plus.

I absolutely loved my stay at this hotel! The location was superb, surrounded by fantastic eating spots and just a stone's throw away from the central part of La Fortuna. The rooms were incredible, offering a mesmerizing view of the volcano, and despite facing the highway, the view was still surreal. The service was top-notch, especially with their assistance in booking transportation and tours. The dining experience was truly memorable, with a scrumptious continental breakfast that left me feeling satisfied. The facilities were excellent, and the value for money was definitely worth it.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The rooms were subject to street noise and had some water issues in the morning despite a great view available at 2 pm, making sleep difficult due to traffic sounds. The service was a blend of mishaps like the coffee incident and genuine helpfulness in multiple languages. The location was excellent, right in La Fortuna center with easy access to restaurants, supermarkets, and tour pickups. The dining was a rollercoaster with an average start but a delightful breakfast buffet for a fair price. The facilities offered some conveniences but lacked certain elements.

The hotel is conveniently located in the heart of La Fortuna, making it easy to access various restaurants and shops. The rooms are spacious and nice, although it seems like the hotel is currently undergoing renovation. The friendly service offered tours, ticket assistance, and airport shuttle for an additional fee. The dining experience, priced at 7 dollars per person, featured a delicious buffet with assorted fruits, coffee, and scrambled eggs. Overall, while the location is superb, some service aspects could be improved.

My stay at the hotel was a mixed experience. While the room was spacious with a nice balcony view of the volcano and hot water in the shower, the constant noise of traffic made it hard to sleep, and a moldy smell lingered due to a wet dirty towel blocking balcony water. The cleanliness upon arrival was good, but the maid service was inconsistent during my three-day stay.
