I had the pleasure of staying at the Amistad over the Thanksgiving Holiday and I can tell you it was nothing short of a great stay. This was with the hotel under a major renovation and what would have been total chaos for most places but not for Matt and his great staff. The room was very clean and the... more

Hotel La Amistad is located on the main street in La Fortuna. The rooms are set back from the street, so it is quiet. The rooms are simple, clean, and inexpensive, with hot water showers, and some have AC. I noticed a tour group of italian tourists checked in, but most of the guests were ticos. The hotel is family... more

The room was nice enough; safe, tv (cable), nice bathroom w/ blow dryer, hot! water, telephone. Staff was great! Internet is available in the rooms and once signed... more

Not a bad place to stay if you're only staying a night or two as we did at the beginning and end of your stay in Costa Rica. Rooms were dated, but spacious and clean (well, the first room we had was anyway! - the second had a really thick layer of dust and lots of cobwebs around the curtain... more

We were extremely disappointed in this hotel, which we felt was way overpriced for what it offered. Our simple room was adequate in size, with two good size beds, and had a safe (a real plus) BUT the kitchen (for which we had paid extra) had no pots and pans so was of little use. (There was a microwave but... more

The beds weren't comfy, but the room was reasonably clean. The breakfast was exactly the same every day, and the staff appeared to know very little about getting around Costa Rica to the touristy places like Arenal or Monteverde. They also appeared to know very little about places that were nearby like places to eat, dance or set-up tours. On... more

Stayed alone. Staff were all very helpful. Arranged my Tram Tour which was Great! Marlene is very attractive (did not ask her out :-) Was my first trip to Costa Rica, enjoyed all of it. Neighbor hood is quiet at night but noisy during the day. Spent too much time a few blocks away at Jonny's Sports Bar but was... more
