"The location to La Fortuna was great, large room with a beautifully manicured yard and outdoor hot rub which we used. The room is dated. The bar and pools were nice. Room however smelled strongly of mildew/mold. I feel like it was overpriced."

"Beautiful house, love thats its tucked into the forest overlooking a stream! Layout was great for my family of five, although the loft never quite cooled down enough so we pulled the mattresses down to the main floor, which was cooled nicely by the AC. Host was fantastic, very helpful, great location ..."
