Hotel Secreto La Fortuna

10/10 Excellent
"La localisation est parfaite pour toutes les activités autour de La Fortuna, le personnel est dédié et toujours attentionné. Nous avons malheureusement eu quelques petits pépins avec l’électricité, mais le problème était réglé en dedans de 10 minutes. Le jardin est magnifique et on a pu admirer une iguane et 2 paresseux dans le stationnement. Une semaine magnifique. Un gros merci à tout le personnel."
