Overall Nice Experience

Nice hotel - they don’t clean unless you ask but close to town and overall good design and comfort. Breakfast is a bit down the road but not far.

Fortuna retreat was beautiful. The grounds were amazing. You’re close enough that you can walk to a small market or in the first small town to grab dinner. Fortuna is only 2 km away and there’s so many things to go see and explore in the town. We recommend Terra Mia restaurant. The eco lodge down the road where you eat breakfast has an amazing butterfly enclosure you can visit and a small trail around the property

The perfect getaway

Fantastic accommodation - we stayed in one of the villas with a pool, which was very reasonably priced for what you get. Everything was perfect - lovely outdoor space with a wee pool to cool off, comfy bed with a great view of the Arenal volcano and a huge bathroom that felt outdoors due to the floor to ceiling windows. Staff were very lovely and full of recommendations for the local area. Breakfast at a nearby hotel was simple but tasty and ideal to get you started for the day. All in all the perfect getaway to discover all of the amazing things to do in and around Fortuna. Thank for a great stay!
Morning views of the Arenal volcano.
Amazing bathroom with garden.

The rooms are large and beautiful with an amazing view of the volcano. The lush garden and the nice pool make it perfect to relax after a day full of fun activities at La Fortuna. The bathroom and shower are luxurious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast just a 2 minute walk to the neighbouring hotel is decent, enough to fill you up for the morning, and you can bird watch as you eat, as you are surrounded by nature. There is also a nice restaurant (soda) just around the corner. We loved our stay there.

An absolutely beautiful property - views are stunning, rooms are wonderful. It’s a calm and tranquil vibe. Ideal for couples. Location is close to everything yet still secluded from the craziness of touristy downtown Fortuna. Can’t recommend enough!

We stayed here for 4 nights. It was very nice and comfortable with a beautiful view of the volcano when the clouds weren’t low. It was close to many things we did in the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Place is just as shown in pictures. Retreat is gated. The breakfast that is available down the road has 3 options with fresh delicious fruit. Also provides a grab and go sandwich if you are leaving before they open you just need to pick it up the night before. We would definitely stay here again.

Loved our stay at Fortuna Retreat. Our room had a stunning view of the volcano. Property and room were very clean and well kept. Our breakfast was included at a nearby small restaurant in a lovely setting, just a short walk down the road. The property is a short drive from the main town and we enjoyed the peace and quiet.

Cute stay, but better options available

Hotel was clean and grounds maintained but it’s small. Limited parking and an extremely small “common area” that was more of a break room for the employees with limited amenities. Didn’t use the community pool since we had our own plunge pool in our villa. Water in the shower didn’t get too hot, but was spacious. Amazing view of the volcano was the best part of the place. Avoid the restaurant they send you to for breakfast, you can find way better and way cheaper options by driving down to another Soda. We loved La Hormiga. Overall a good affordable find as long as you aren’t looking for a hotel with many amenities.
