"We had a wonderful stay at Socialtel La Fortuna. The room was clean, practical and nicely decorated. The hotel is centrally located close to shops, restaurants. The staff was very friendly. The included breakfast was excellent with many a la carte choices. The pool and bar areas were nice spots. "

"Overall a great place to stay! The showers in the room I stayed at were kind of weird and looked broken but for the price, I will take it any day. They have wonderful service and a guitar which I was able to play while I was not doing anything. I would totally recommend it. "

"Unit is very clean, in good, newer condition. Conveniently located but hard to find as it lacks prominent signage to indicate you're at the right place; and has no "front desk" to check in at when you arrive which is problematic as its just a house in the midst of many others. There is a bar/club nearby that goes til 2:30AM each night. Pack ear plugs. The A/C worked well. Good base of operations for visiting the stites. "

"Great hostel situated in a nice neighbourhood, 5 minutes walk from the centre including the supermarkets and bus terminal (the centre is frankly not as pleasant as the suburbs). Rooms have secure key codes, and lockers are situated in the communal kitchen which is large, clean and well equipped. Everything was good. Would recommend."

"Very nice hostel for a very reasonable price. I would recommend this hostel for other travelers"

"La proximité de beaucoup de services."

"This place is CLOSED yet hotels.com keeps offering it online. I booked through hotels.com as part of my trip and when I got their and the hotel was no longer in operation, and it was a nightmare dealing with hotels.com. They are pushy and it is a mess. When I started demanding my money back, a pushy person who spoke broken English called to sell me ANOTHER hotel, but refused to give me my money back. I am realizing hotels.com is a racket."

"Despite being a little mix-up on room type, Adrian (the owner) did all he could to make it right and I had a very pleasant experience. Their hospitality was amazing and the room was comfortable. I had to work one afternoon and the internet worked great. The lounge/common areas were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. The only thing I would recommend is that if you book through a 3rd party (like Hotels.com) to call and confirm your room type in advance. "

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

5/5 Excellent

"This was my wife and I second trip to the La Fortuna area. Chachagua is a quaint town a little south and the resort was way off the beaten path in the middle of the rainforest. This was the first time for my mom and her best friend. Just off foot surgery and still a little sore/ swollen. The resort staff went overboard to accommodate her with a shower seat. Use of their wheelchair so she could get around when tired and just amazing every day. The food was top notch, free breakfast was awesome. My family would highly recommended a visit. If you have a chance to visit say hi to Anthony, Patricia, Gettchen with two t’s, Sofia, Lorenzo, Kevin, Pamela, Karen, Jonathan, Kristal, Maicol ( hope you catch some big fish) and Dennis. The ownership should be proud of every one of you. Thank you The Lyle family"

"This was by far my best stay in Costa Rica. The room was just as advertised, the pool and hot springs were lovely, the staff was friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to make sure I was comfortable as a solo female traveler. I really enjoyed it. "
