We stayed in the tent, the kids loved it. Super unique, family friendly, easy to get to and many dining options, coffee farms and stuff to see. We stayed one night one our way out of the the SJO airport on to La Fortuna. Great location for getting to Volcán Poás.

This was one of the most incredible stays we’ve ever had. The views, location, and scenery were breathtaking, and the room was both beautiful and practical. We stayed in the King Suite overlooking the valley, which also had a small rooftop area offering an even more stunning vantage point. From the suite, we could see donkeys and cows roaming below, which only added to the charm and natural beauty of the setting.

Our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) enjoyed our stay. The property was beautiful, the breakfast was yummy and the people we interacted with were very pleasant. Check in and check out went smoothly. They provided a good recommendation for dinner. We only stayed one night and would have loved to have stayed longer.
