Beautiful place! Closer to AirBNB style than a hotel. The bungalow we got was wonderful. Gorgeous shower/bathroom. A porch with a table and a hot tub. Everything was very clean. It's about 20 minutes away from the main town, but that shouldn't be a problem, even if you don't have a car. Uber is super convenient: quick and about $6-10 ride, depending on exact distance and time of day. DON'T pay excessive pickup fees from a tour like we did on the first day ($60 extra, ouch). Much better to get an Uber to a regular pickup spot. It's convenient to have a few tour opportunities in the place where you live! We arrived quite a while before the official check-in time, so we did the chocolate/coffee tour while we were waiting for our room to be ready, and had a blast. The guide Nelson was very engaging, and we got to participate in making coffee and chocolates (with some to take home!). And the by the time the tour was over, we were able to get into our room, even though it was still a couple of hours before official check-in). The night hike (led by Jhonny) was also great. So many spiders! The staff were all great. Even when the front desk is closed after 5 PM, they're accessible by WhatsApp and come in late/early to accommodate various needs. One suggestion: I wish the breakfast were open earlier. With so many activities in La Fortuna starting early, we were always out before breakfast started at 8. They packed a to-go breakfast for us to receive early when requested, but I don't think it's quite the same! Overall: 10/10, highly recommend.
