Had a great stay at the Hotel Vista del Cerro - highly recommended We arrived from SJO around 9pm and were greeted by the entire family at reception. Over the course of our stay the staff was consistently excellent - helping us to book tours, calling taxis and in one case even giving us a ride to an ATM in... more

Melania is a wonderful host and we truly enjoyed staying at the Hotel Vista del Cerro!!! She was so helpful in booking us tours (and saving us money) and clearly cares about her guests. The breakfast was SO GOOD. My favorite gallo pintos in all of Costa Rica. Melania gives you vouchers to use at the soda just next door,... more

This was our first hotel stay in Costa Rica and in retrospect this small hotel was the best value for our money. The young staff was extremely helpful with ideas for tours. The Internet was free, as was long distance calling. Breakfast was included in the price - served right next door. Grocery store across the street made it possible... more

This was a cute little place. As everyone has mentioned, the family that runs it is wonderful. The rooms are so clean, spacious, and they have a/c and t.v. The pool area is nice. We had some of our favorite local food at the soda here. It's in town, so it's not super private or quiet or any of that.... more

We stayed only 2 nights but wished we had more time! The rooms are very large, with A/C, and TV. Great pool area and gardens. (Wish the hammock was operational!!) The restaraunt was really nice. GREAT restaraunt within walking distance, just down the street. The best thing about this was the family who own and operate. They are extremely nice... more

Restaurant food was fresh and the seperate owner was very attentive... more

Great little hotel in La Fortuna. Rooms are extremely clean and employees are very friendly. It's obvious the owner takes pride in her hotel. The garden area is beautiful and well maintained and the small pool area is quite lovely. Soda next door was inexpensive and food was tasty. Grocery store across street is convenient. It's on the road so... more

I chose this particular hotel due to the nice reviews that I found on this website. I was not disappointed. We used the Interbus service to get from San Jose to the hotel directly. The trip took about three hours with a pit-stop included. The service costs $39 per person. The advantage of this service (which is recommended by the... more
