Reviewed February 5, 2013

Stayed here for 3 nights. Location is a bit remote, but by car only 5 minutes to downtown city centre. The remote location is exactly what we wanted, as la fortuna is quite touristic. The bungalow is spacious, ours (nr 3) had 2 queen beds and a bunk bed. Beds are nice! The bungalow is surrounded by a big garden, in which a lot of birds fly around, really nice view if you're laying in the hammock in front of the bungalow! Do keep in mind that these same birds will wake you at 6am in the morning, but you want to be in the middle of nature or not! Bungalow looks out at arenal volcano. Owners are very nice, excellent service. Wifi wasn't working with our iPad/iPhone, but we could use the laptop of the owner. And we got a plate of fresh fruit in the morning, eventhough we made ourn own breakfast . Shower is nice and provided warm water :)

I cannot endorse this place enough. A complete garden of Eden ideal for families and couples alike. A bit difficult to find as it isn't on GPS yet but is signposted from the main road in La Fortuna and as long as you navigate to 'Z Trece' or Cerro Chato Eco Lodge then take the right hand fork in the road and you will find it on your right.

There, there is paradise and it is well worth the journey. Your private lodge is spacious for the price and immaculately clean, two queen beds, bunk beds and a superb bathroom. Top half is constructed primarily of wood with high ceilings.

Onsite there is a kitchen and eating area next to a small pool. A garden of Eden that has many types of orchids, fruit, ylang ylang tree (smells delicious at night) that you can walk around and enjoy.

You have your own hammock and AC in each lodge, some lodges have fridge, if you want one make sure you ask for it.

The morning greets you with a stunningly perfect view of Arenal, in a private garden of paradise.

Down side? Few, I would ask for extra towels in the room, that's it!

Room tip: If you need a fridge ask for it. Lodge 3 has excellent views of Arenal.
