Splurged for a nice hotel for a few days in La fortuna. This place was wonderful. Great location a few minutes out of town but still restaurants and things to do nearby. This is a beautiful property with lots of wildlife and a peaceful river you can walk down to. You can see the volcano clearly from the pool and front area. Feel more like a resort than a hotel. The staff was very attentive and they all remembered my name. Great breakfast as well, I would stay here again and will recommend it to friends.

There is nothing bad to say about this hotel. We loved it. The staff, food, amenities, and location were outstanding. Staff made us feel at ease and comfortable as if we were guests in their own home. We had the opportunity to meet the owner of the hotel. Although he did not speak English and we do not speak close to any Spanish, he made us feel like he cherished our business and smiled continuously. Besides all of the aforementioned positive comments, the hotel was accessorized with beautiful artwork. One can visit the river below the hotel by following a well designed path which leads to an area where one can sit to enjoy nature. My husband are I were lucky to have found a gem without breaking the bank. We would definitely visit again. We wish this hotel great success as it is a new hotel.

We stayed here for a few nights and the only complaint is that we did not stay longer. Which is totally on us. The staff here was exceptional and we met the owner who is a local man just getting this property moving the start of this year, which is why there are so few reviews. So glad we got in early, and wish it was our little secret, but the owner and staff were so great, we want them to succeed! This is a great property. Super nice, but approachable. Beautiful but not pretentious or wanna-be-bougie, which so many of them are

Property is brand new. Kevin and his team were so hospitable. Their level of service was just wonderful. They provided a to go breakfast before we left for a 6 am excursion. They led us on a hike in the back of the property. We enjoyed the friendly check-ins throughout our stay. So attentive to our needs. Not to mention the stunning views of the Arenal volcano at sunset and stunning sun rises. Very special place.

This is a new property and every is perfectly manicured and every detail was carefully thought out. It truly is a sanctuary and a very relaxing and magical place to stay. We were here 7 nights and truely made our trip feel like a vacation. Everything was exceptional from the 5 star food and the staff was excellent and memorable. All of them were very friendly, attentive, and happy to assist you. You can tell they care about their job and the resort and it's visitors. Felix the owner at one point came by the pool and bought my partner and I drinks, which was a very nice gesture and left a good impression on us. We learned more about the property and his 3 year journey to make it what it is. I would definitely come back here and highly recommend this place!

The in room spa services with chocolate and coffee scrub was a piece of heaven. My first solo trip to Costa Rica and I will absolutely stay here again. Close to the activities and a quick Uber ride to town. All an amazing experience I was planning on one night and I stayed four. I would never leave this oasis.. no kids lots of birds and flora.. decorated beautifully and thoughtfully. The staff was top notch!!! Attentive and fluent in English. Just a wonderful place!!!

The staff was amazing, personal touch, special mention to yohan, Kevin, yeraldin at the front desk, who were very punctual arranged our transport and tours The staff in the kitchen went out out of their way in their hospitality, the chief chef, David made dishes for us outside the menu. The menu is limited. Fabiola was an excellent server and also took pictures all around the resort. The spa is not fancy but the messeurs were skilled. They could do better with that section. Met the owner during our visit who was very receptive to our input. This resort is very quiet , serene . Close to the waterfall and 20 minutes from the other main attractions.

This has been the best hotel my partner and I have ever stayed at. We truly can’t wait to go back. Everyone was so welcoming, and they slowly became our friends. We have never stayed at a hotel where we actually got to meet the staff on a personal level like we did here. Shout out to Kevin A., Genesis, Fabi, Yeraldin and everyone else whose names I sadly don’t remember right now. You guys made this the most memorable trip ever!The hotel was very private, which we really enjoyed. I loved waking up and having breakfast with a jungle view and, at times, having the whole pool and swim-up bar to ourselves.Chef Deuel is the absolute BEST. You can tell he is passionate about cooking, and he would satisfy our cravings even when they weren’t on the menu! I will definitely have to go back to enjoy your pupusas and crème brûlée again.We also had the pleasure of meeting the owner, Felix. He is such a great person and was very attentive to guests. He even hosted a BBQ where we got to mingle with other guests. Overall, compared to all the other hotels, this one is the best in La Fortuna, and we’ll be coming back with friends and family! You will also see plenty of different animals we even got to see a sloth.

Hotel Sanctuarium is truly a sanctuary. The property is grand and meticulously cared for. Surrounded by tropical jungles, views of the mountains and the valley below, it was by far the best place to stay for our trip to La Fortuna. And it is only a 7 minute drive to the heart of downtown. There is a restaurant on site with exquisite food. Perfect after a long day of activities so we didn’t have to venture back into town every night to find somewhere to eat. They cater to any specific dietary needs. The rooms are big and immaculate. They each have their own wall of windows that open to a large patio where you can sit and view the jungle covered mountains or the vast valley below. From the time we booked (even before we arrived) the staff was so attentive and helpful in getting our excursions arranged, along with transportation. Genesis, Johan, Kevin, Kevin A, Fabiola, Yeraldin, and Dayana pampered us at every turn, delivering drinks and food to us wherever we happened to be on the property. They answered a multitude of questions and showed us around the sanctuary. The staff were all fluent in English so it was easy to communicate but they also welcomed my efforts to speak Spanish. I highly recommend this hotel. It was a truly wonderful experience. Thank you Hotel Sanctuarium for making our stay perfect!

My wife and I just wrapped up four very special days at the Hotel Sanctuarium, and I cannot recommend it enough. Since the hotel is so new and doesn't have many reviews yet, we weren't entirely sure what to expect, but I am so glad we took the chance! ​From the moment we arrived until the second we left, the experience was nothing short of amazing. The staff is truly exceptional; they are so warm and welcoming that we felt both appreciated and completely spoiled throughout our entire stay. ​Highlights of Our Stay: ​The Dining: The meals were incredible. We enjoyed breakfast every single morning and had dinner at the restaurant twice. Each meal was a delight! ​The Grounds: Everything is kept immaculate. There is a dedicated bird-watching area with a large variety of species to spot, which was such a treat. ​The Amenities: The pool features a heated side with a swim-up bar that was the definition of relaxing. We also loved the path leading down to a serene river; it’s the perfect, quiet spot to swim and unwind. ​Location: You couldn't ask for a better spot. It’s located just down the road from the waterfall and 10 minutes from the heart of LA Fortuna, making it a very convenient home base. ​If you are considering a stay in La Fortuna, do not hesitate to book this gem! A huge, heartfelt thank you to the wonderful staff who made our trip so memorable: Fabiola, Genesis, Diana, Kevin, and Yeraldin. You all are fantastic

We had an incredible stay at the Hotel Sanctuarium. The property and gardens were lovely. The hotel is new and everything was immaculate. The room was spacious and had a fridge. The restaurant was very good and had a gorgeous view over the valley to the mountain. It was extremely quiet and peaceful. My husband is an avid bird watcher and they put out seed and fruit for the birds and animals. They were fun to watch. The pool area is very nice. We enjoyed margaritas in the warm pool each evening after our adventures around the area. Often, we were the only people there. The staff bent over backwards to make sure were were happy. We did not have a car but there is lots of parking. It is close to La Fortuna and we could easily UBER anywhere we wanted to go. I would highly recommend Sanctuarium if you are planning a trip to Arenal.

This hotel is very peaceful. The staff were all very friendly and attentive to our needs. We had breakfast included in our stay and it was delicious especially the coffee. We felt secured in knowing there was a coded gate to be able to enter the hotel. There weren’t may people staying at the hotel so we had the whole pool with the stunning Mountain View to ourselves. A short walk (or fast drive) to La fortuna waterfall which should be visited. If you’re looking for a slow pace, chill place I highly recommend.

Hotel Sanctuarium deserves high praises. The property is absolutely stunning from the moment you pull in to the front gate to the welcoming staff waiting for you at the door. Such a warm welcoming with a welcoming drink and a tour of the property. Even have access to the river. The room is spacious and clean with a walk in waterfall shower head. The outdoor pool and hot tub with bar is a must with a beautiful view of the volcano. The staff is absolutely amazing. Dayana and her brother Kevin were great! Literally everyone was great and welcoming. Need airport transportation? Let them know and they can help you set it up. Need help with booking excursions? They got you! They made the whole process smooth. If you’re looking to come to La Fortuna, I highly suggest you stay here.
