Hotel Secreto La Fortuna

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing! As our first time in Costa Rica we were nervous but from the beginning the hotel was so friendly and welcoming. It’s near the town with nearby restaurants you’re able to walk to. They have three different breakfast plate options and are very fulling. We had the king master bedroom and it was very nice. The pool wasn’t crowded at all, sometimes we had it all to ourselves! Amazing!!"

We also felt very safe because they didn’t just let anyone come in after hours. It’s very peaceful walking around! The breakfast from the menu was the best! The buffet breakfast is okay. The staff was very helpful also and it was very clean! We have a great view of the volcano (when it decided to reveal itself) from our room"
