Great place to stay.

The staff were very helpful, friendly, and knowledgeable. The rooms were spacious, a/c worked well, every thing about the rooms were fantastic. The pool was small. However the frog tour and bird watching (even if you’re not an enthusiast) is amazing. Lucy was a great tour guide.

Spectacular

Spectacular property. We had a beautiful room that was all the way in the back so it was super private. Each staff we met were fantastic. Easy access to town through Uber, and a beautiful pool to spend the day relaxing if you choose. We had to leave before breakfast was served and they made us lunchboxes to pick up on our way out - we were super grateful. They even printed out a picture of us at the Falls. We would stay here again in a heartbeat.

The welcome drinks were delicious, the room was absolutely gorgeous with plenty of room for the four of us. The complimentary breakfast was delicious and the fresh fruit was so sweet. The pool was nice and the night walk was awesome. We saw several frogs, lizard and a snake. If I came back to Costa Rica I would definitely stay here again. 10/10

Amazing experience

I had an incredible stay at this hotel! From the moment we arrived, the staff made us feel welcome and cared for. Camila at the front desk stood out for her exceptional service—she was incredibly helpful, offering great advice on local activities and ensuring everything was perfect for our visit. Ana at reception was also very kind and attentive, adding to the overall positive experience. The service throughout our stay was excellent. The restaurant deserves special praise—everything we tried was delicious, especially the pumpkin cream. The live music added a wonderful touch to the evenings, and breakfast was simply amazing. The Eggs Benedict, fresh fruit, and coffee were the perfect start to the day. A big thanks to Joseph, Jay, and the dinner servers, Eric and Melany, who were all so kind and attentive. We also treated ourselves to the tropical massage package, which was exceptional. Rachel was outstanding—the facial and overall service were thorough and relaxing. The Jacuzzi added a nice touch to our spa day. Overall, the experience was unforgettable. I highly recommend tifakara hotel for its fantastic staff, great food, and relaxing amenities.

Great Boutique Hotel

Ti-fakara hotel was fantastic. The service at the hotel was outstanding. Our air conditioner stopped working in the middle of the night and a repair man was sent immediately to fix it! Breakfast was wonderful with hot options, fresh fruit and juice, and buffet style continental options. Dinner at Bosque was the best meal we had in La Fortuna. The hotel is near the falls an oOn a clear day you can see Arenal from the restaurant and pool area. The only downfall was that the rooms are quite small. If you need space, I would recommend booking a room with two queens even if you dont need both beds. Overall we had a great stay!!

This boutique hotel is a hidden gem! Away from the town buzz, yet close enough to main square or whatever you might need to look for. Our room was lovely, with fresh fruit, bottled water, bistro coffee maker, outdoor patio, and outdoor shower. Breakfast was included and it was superb. We went on the Night walk the 2nd night (the first night was cancelled due to torrential rain) We saw soma my lovely little frogs and even a snake. Kevin was our guide. He had also given us a small private showing after dinner our first night after the rain subsided, showing us up close viewing of many frogs. Dinners were also excellent. The outdoor jaquzzi was a treat after our raft trip. Now let me get to the staff.... OUTSTANDING! Camilla was so efficient when we checked in and full of information. Jay and Charlie Melanny were excellent and super friendly and FUN waiters. Kevin was top notch with all he helped us out...ideas, Night walk, birding, anything we had questions for. We will come back to Costa Rica, and definitely La Fortuna and this will be our stay!

Fantastic hotel in an amazing location. Staff is very attentive and super helpful. If you're looking for some seclusion with views and the sounds of nature this is it. I would definitely return.
