Everything I could have dreamed it would be

The house was perfect for our group. The surroundings were like a dream - the outside areas and landscaping beautiful, so many unusual birds every day. Howler monkeys and iguanas high in the trees on our 3rd and 4th days. The location felt safe and close to everything. Leticia and Marco were the best hosts - giving recommendations and helping with everything we needed.

New Years Eve in La Fortuna

Great stay at Marco’s place. He was very friendly and provided excellent communication. The birds and monkeys located around the property were amazing. Lots to do within a short drive of the property. The volcano is clearly visible by the main road. There’s also a cool rope swing nearby. Great stay!!

Spacious, very attractive, well equipped

And it was wonderful watching the birds which came to eat the fruit the host provided! The location is very close to downtown, grocery store, and restaurants. There’s a lot of natural wood in the interior, which was lovely. The interior was also bright with color - very warm and welcoming.

Hidden Rain Forest Paradise

We didn’t want to leave! We loved the house! My mornings started on the porch with a cup of coffee stunned by all the beautiful birds that visited and sang. Great location! Took us no time to get to each place we were hiking or enjoying the springs. Best was after a 4 hour hike in the rain forest looking for animals and birds we were enjoying the beautiful pool and the trees became alive with howler monkeys and toucans. What a show! Leticia and her father Marco were wonderful host!! Truly a beautiful vacation in such a magical setting.

Hidden Tropical Paradise

This is truly a tropical paradise with warm and welcoming hosts. My husband is a birder and he collected many for his list just from the bedroom deck. The rooms are nicely arranged for a family and the pool is great for a soak after a hot day exploring. We barbecued in the outdoor area which has party lights and speakers as well as a grill. Wonderful stay. We hope to return soon.

Paradise in La Fortuna

This was our second time staying at this property and once again we had an amazing stay. Marco is a wonderful host. The house is clean and comfortable and well-equipped. The house is very close to town yet feels like miles away from everything. The best part is sitting on the porch and watching the wide variety of birds that come and feed on the fruit that Marco puts out every morning. Such a special and relaxing place!

Excellent host and location

The location is walkable to town, though there is traffic to consider. We did the walk several times. Hosts Marco and Letitia were excellent. Unfortunately, Letitia's phone was disabled for a day, but Marco took over. Letitia and Marco were wonderful and making arrangements for tours and giving us advice. In the early morning, Marco put fruit out for the birds enabling us to see a variety of wildlife. He alerted us to the presence of monkeys one morning and we were able to watch them from the yard. We enjoyed restaurants and a bit of local night life. We had a lovely stay. The facility is comfortable. There were six of us. The kitchen was well enough equipped to enable us to make our breakfasts and lunches. We are so appreciative.

Hidden Tropical Paradise - a paradise indeed

Hidden Tropical Paradise is a wonderful place to stay and relax, tucked away from the bustle of La Fortuna, but a short drive to restaurants, shops, hot spring resorts, and natural highlights such as Hanging Bridges. The owners Marco and Marina, and their daughter Letithia, are the most welcoming, gracious, and caring hosts. We highly recommend Marina's delicious Costa Rican breakfast, which we greatly enjoyed on the terrace while watching an incredible diversity of tropical birds in the beautiful garden. Marco takes great pride in the house and garden which he tends to every day. He also keeps the birdfeeder stocked every day with fresh fruit. Hidden Tropical Paradise is a birderlover's paradise, but will delight any visitor. The house is lovely, well furnished, and was large enough for us to share with four friends. Our stay at Hidden Tropical Paradise was Pura Vida and we recommend it to anyone who loves nature and appreciates the genuine hospitality of a local Costa Rican family.

Month vacation in June

My wife and I stayed from mid June to mid July. Marco and his daughter Leticia were both there to greet us upon check in and always responded via WhatsApp when we had any questions. They were both amazing hosts. They both live at the entrance of the long driveway to get to the house but you still have complete privacy. The house looked exactly like the pictures and the landscape was beautiful. The kitchen was stocked with everything needed. There are small ants as someone else had mentioned on a review that hang out on the countertops so we put anything we opened in resealable bags. So do not leave any open food anywhere. The back porch/covered patio was perfect for hanging out. We spent most our mornings/evenings out there. The charcoal grill was used frequently ( was even stocked/ restocked during our time) Marco every morning would put fruit out for the birds which was our entertainment most mornings. We even had howler monkeys for the first week we were there hanging out in the nearby trees. The house is located 5 min from downtown la fortuna which has many good restaurants. I don’t recommend walking as it is a busy road and the sidewalks are minimal. The location of the house is also perfect for all the tours in the area. We had an amazing stay and would 100 recommend this home to anyone wanting to stay in the la fortuna/arenal area.

Amazing Property in La Fortuna

Our family of six stayed here for three nights while we explored Arenal national park and enjoyed canyoning and ziplining in the La Fortuna area. The property itself was very well cared for and the host were amazing. We found ourselves enjoying just spending time outside on the covered patio and watching all of the birds and wildlife. We saw an amazing number of birds including a Gartered Trogon, Great Currasow, and Collared Aracari from the property. Howler Monkeys were a regular morning visitor to the tall trees as well. The beds were very comfortable and we had more than enough room for our family. The little ones loved the bunk beds. The plunge pool was small but fun for the younger kids to cool off while the older ones relaxed in the hammocks or on the patio. Overall an amazing stay here, highly recommended. Thank you Marco and Leticia for an amazing stay in La Fortuna, we would love to visit again if we ever make it back to Costa Rica!

Amazing stay in Fortuna!

This is an amazing property. Quiet but near enough town to walk. Everything on one level. Bathrooms in 2 of 4 bedrooms. Pool is small but was perfect to sit and hang out and perfect for kids! Host cleaned pool and put out fruit to attract birds every morning. We saw howler monkeys, toucan, And several other birds. Host incredibly helpful! We had a light switch not work and he came within 5 minutes and replaced it. Very safe neighborhood. Road to get in a bit rough but very doable. Will look forward to staying here again!

I strongly recommend this tropical hidden paradise home. The house is large, quiet (except for the ocasional monkeys) and has lots of bird in the yard (the owner puts out bananas and papayas). Make this your home base for MANY attractions in Costa Rica. Super clean, spacious, excellent host. A great place to stay in La Fortuna.
