We enjoyed our one night stay. The room was clean and quaint. The atmosphere was enjoyable. It was nice to have a secured place to park. The staff were helpful and with our stay we received a simple, yet sufficient breakfast. It was a fabulous location in walking distance to shopping, drinks, and food.

If you are looking for a five-star hotel with all the amenities, this is not your hotel. But if you are looking for a quaint, well-run hotel that is in the heart that all La Fortuna and the surrounding area has to offer, this is a great experience. I say "experience" instead of "property" because Los Colina's is more than the sum of it's parts. THE GOOD: Great service; perfect location; and a laid-back vibe that is reminiscent of the 60's. You are close to all the area has to offer. There are three floors; the second is a primarly open viewing platform outfitted with tables, chairs, sofas, places to play cards or chess, and a view of the volcano that only a helicopter ride could provide. The other guests were friendly, adding to the vibe. If I was in my 20's or 30's, OR an aging European "Hippie," I would never want to leave. THE NOT SO GOOD: If you are looking for amenities that have become standard in most hotels, some are missing here. It is a three-story hotel, and there is no elevator (the front clerk carried my heavy luggage up the stairs); I was in suite 311, with air conditioning - most rooms have fans for cooling. And my bathroom, although spotlessly clean, looked like it needed to be refurbished for a few decades. Everything worked, it was just old. Summary: If you are looking for the Ritz, or even a Holiday Inn, this ain't it. But if you wish to blend in with the post-60's crowed, and be surrounded with very friendly guests and excellent staff, come here.

My stay at the Las Colinas hotel was very comfortable and safe. I stayed 4 nights and found the staff to be very friendly and helpful. Any questions or special requests I had they did whatever they could to support me. The restaurant was very accommodating to my gluten allergy, which was a great relief. The street noise is quite loud during the day but gets quiet around 10 pm. Common areas were being upgraded while I was there, which was nice to see the investment in the property. I would stay again, the location was great to see the highlights of La Fortuna!

The property location is excellent and the upper common area is a gem, but a little noisy at night. Staff are very friendly and courteous. Room 28 is clean but smelled overwhelmingly of mildew that dampen our stay. We didn’t ask to change room since the lower common area smelled a little musty also. So we thought all rooms must be about the same.
