The hotel room was nice, clean and the bathroom with the waterfall shower is really nice. The floor does get wet when you shower but there are extra towels you can put on the floor and it is worth it. The hotel grounds are lovely and attract tons of birds. Our room was a 2 unit bungalow (room 110) and... More

We stayed here for 3 nights on our eco-tour with Collette Vacations. The grounds are beautiful with flowers everywhere. The location is spacious but that makes for a bit of walking, frequently uphill (but not steep). There is a beautiful pool, near the restaurant and heated by the local hot springs. It has a swim-up bar. The whole resort has... More

This place was beautiful, staff friendly and very helpful, beautiful setting with great views of the Volcano. Our room (102) was closest to the office, pool and restaurant. Some of the others require a bit of an uphill walk - but they will pick up and drop off in carts if you want that. Our room had a beautiful view... More

I stayed at this hotel with a groupon getaways coupon. While the grounds of the hotel are beautiful and the pool is nice, the rooms leave a lot to be desired. Ours reminded me of a rustic cabin…it always smelled musty/mildewy and was kind of damp (I'm aware it's located in the rainforest where it rains a lot). The room... More

This was the first hotel of three on my wife and I's honeymoon. We stayed here for 3 nights and couldn't have been more pleased. After the long and bumpy drive from the airport to La Fortuna, we were greeting with cocktails and fresh warm towels. As we checked in, our bags were taken to our suite and laid out... More

We totally enjoyed our stay - we were upgraded at no cost from two junior rooms to a master suite - it was gorgeous inside and out, individual cottage, lush vegetation, heated pool to ourselves. Of course we enjoyed the hotel pool too - at night it was ethereal with the lights highlighting the steam and lush plants. The restaurant... More

We stayed here with our two kids - 10 and 13 - for three nights. Let me say, it was a real surprise since we booked it a little last minute and little else was available...you know how those things usually work out??!? Anyway, we arrived after a LOOOONG drive from San Jose - I recommend only doing that in... More

Surrounding is amazing with green plants and a lot of birds. Staff is friendly and helpfull, you can get a pick... More

We recently stayed at Mountain Paradise for two nights with our three children. We were pleasant surprised how nice our room was after reading the mixed reviews. We had a private pool in front of our room, the two bedroom suite was immaculate and the decor was perfect for the country. We enjoyed the pool and restaurant. The service in... More
