We stayed 1 week at La Fortuna Lodge at the beginning of the rainy season (end of May), and had a great stay there.
The hotel is ideally situated a few blocks off the main road/centre town, near the edge of the jungle forest. There are plenty of restaurants close by (highly recommend āLa Fortunenoā) as well as coffee shops, tourism offices, souvenir shops, grocery/convenience, etc. Many tourist attractions are close to La Fortuna, which makes this hotel a great spot to stay.
The hotel itself has a great view of the volcano, and the property is well-kept/clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Our room had a balcony facing the volcano and overlooking the local street.
The staff were very friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to make your stay a great one. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, including the housekeeping and kitchen staff, as well as Roy and Daniel who helped us book all our excursions and airport transfers. Everybody there made our special occasion a little more special and memorable.
One thing we liked was the customized breakfast, which can be ordered the night before, and if you are going on an excursion you can get it in a take-away box (helpful for early morning starts). You can also borrow umbrellas from the front desk if it rains. The property also has standard safety features, including locked front gates and a digital safe in your room. We did not drive but there appeared to be plenty of parking for those who do.
Great stay!
