"Great Location and Great Service"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 9, 2013
The hotel is right in the middle of town, close to lots of restaurants and walking distance to everything. We chose to stay in town because the reviews of other places father out all complained of not having many choices for dinner. We had everything we could want within walking distance. The people working the front desk were exceptionally nice and helpful. The hotel wasn't fancy but more than adequate at a great price, it has all you could need to explore the area. One tip, bring eye masks if you are light sensitive when you sleep, there are huge windows and thin curtains. Don't miss out on the guy selling pork kabobs off his grill on the street next to the hotel. A real treat!
"Changed our plans to stay longer"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 6, 2013
The hotel owner, Mario gave us so many great ideas we changed our plans and stayed 4 nights instead of 1. He taught us about the country, set up tours, and even helped us find a church in a neighboring city. He speaks perfect English, has lived in the US for years. The grounds are amazing with beautiful landscaping, frogs, and lots of birds. Couldn't have been happier with the service we received!
"CONVENIENCE"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 4, 2013
I was pleasantly surprised to find everything as I hoped. The cleanliness and locationwere perfect. The staff was very kind and tried to be helpful. The only thing that might have been more useful would have been better English spoken by the staff.
"Awesome"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Feb 3, 2013
This was much more than we expected. Everything was really nice and the view of the Volcano was incredible.
"Good but not amazing"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 31, 2013
The hotel is very close to downtown. The rooms are comfortable but the safety box it doesn´t work and the jacuzzi on the fist floor is a little bit cold.

"We would definitely go back."Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 16, 2013
The grounds were beautiful! The view of the volcano from this hotel is outstanding. The first night we heard something running around in the room and were concerned that it could be a mouse. We even found droppings that we thought looked like mouse droppings but not exactly. It turned out that there was a gecko in the room and the droppings were from the gecko. This was the first place we stayed during our trip to Costa Rica so we weren't familiar with geckos before this. It turns out that if you stay in a hotel in Costa Rica, chances are you will be sharing your room with geckos. They were in every hotel we stayed in but we really enjoyed them and didn't mind having them in our rooms! After all, they eat a lot of bugs including mosquitoes! I felt the breakfast was great considering it was included. They had great fruit, eggs, ham, toast and then some Costa Rican foods - beans with rice and fried bananas! The only thing I wish they would improve on is the lighting. The light in our room was very dim, so at night we couldn't see well enough to read. Other than that, we loved this hotel and would stay here again if we are lucky enough to go back to La Fortuna some day. It is a few minutes out of town, but we actually prefer that. You can easily drive into town to eat but then get away from the noise and people at Lavas Tacotal. It is a little rustic, but clean. The staff were all very helpful and friendly.
"Beautiful grounds, great volcano view"Reviewed by a Hotels.com guest on Jan 14, 2013
Overall we were very pleased with this stay. The grounds were beautiful, the individual cabins made it seems even more special, and we woke up to the sounds of tropical birds every morning. Hot springs on site were really enjoyable. Only complaint is that some members of staff were a bit 'snooty' and the restaurant is way overpriced for the food for lunch and dinner. But the breakfast buffet was fantastic! The quoted cab fare into La Fortuna including the 'convenience fee' for the resort to set it up (which was not optional) was high compared to what we encountered in other towns. But would definitely stay again!
