Hotel located close to La Fortuna Waterfall and the trail to Cerro Chatota (lake where once was the crater of a volcano).
Excellent option for those who want to go on the trail, as non-guests need to pay a fee of 15 dollars to enter the property (the trail starts within the hotel grounds). The trail is not for everyone, the difficulty level is high.
Old but functional rooms. Friendly and helpful staff.

The service is good, I had read that the
Check out but you can only really one hour, since they charge a whole night longer, I did it because I arrived at the hotel at 2am and had a flight at 9pm, therefore it was not much what I was, they should at least help with 2 hours. Rest all very good, the transfer service to the hotel excellent

Baño pequeño. Apenas agua caliente en la ducha. Instalaciones de cocina muy pobres.
El sitio y el paisaje súper bonito. Habitaciones muy limpias y amplias.

We arrived to find a beautiful hotel
In a lush setting with the most beautiful foliage with tropical birds. The grounds were a paradise. Every morning we were serenaded with the songs of all the different bird species. The restaurant was an excellent Italian restaurant that we would recommend to anyone. The staff was always happy to provide any assistance with a smile.

The hotel staff at the front desk are friendly. The shuttle bus is convenient; late-night flights after 1 AM require reservations. The hotel offers scenic mountain views with sheep and cattle grazing below. Soundproofing is average. Even with the air conditioning off, the room temperature is around 23 degrees Celsius. The bed is a bit firm. There's a department store next door; it gets crowded on holidays, with about an hour's wait for a meal.

Location is great. Bed is comfortable and the room with A/C is so great. Netflix hotel account included was surprisingly unexpected as well. The vibe of the Selina La Fortuna is what I expected from reading reviews and the pictures.

I read summer great reviews of this place and it did not disappoint. There are small trails on the property. Stunt get excited, they are small but you are not next to another building! The pool is nice but not heated. If you are from the NE US, you are used to it. Or was refreshing especially after being in the sun for a bit. The hotel is nicely kept but more of a local style which I prefer more than the standard hotel room. The room is beautiful and the bed is comfy. You can't go wrong here. Many people I met do the same thing, spend the last night in Costa Rica before flying out. Very secure, not much near, but the best ends to your pura vida vacation.

My family and I arrived at Casa Del Rio on November 26. We spent 2 nights here. We are a party of 6 and booked three rooms under two separate reservations. My reservation was through Trip.com and confirmed on Nov 19. This boutique hotel sprawls across a large, beautifully maintained property. The individual cabana-type rooms are spread out across the property. So, when I booked my reservation, I requested that my room be as close as possible to my family’s two rooms. I also messaged the property on WhatsApp and requested that my room be adjacent to, or as close as possible to, my family’s rooms. On Nov 20, I received a message: «If the rooms are the same category, we can try to accommodate you. I replied, «Yes, all three rooms are the same category (a king bed and twin)». I also received an email from the hotel (hotelboutiqueca.4rr68r2bkw630rt@service.trip.com) and sent the same request for our three rooms to be adjacent to each other. When we arrived, two rooms on the same reservation were adjacent to each other, but my room was far away in a completely different location. I asked for assistance to modify this, and the receptionist told me «not possible ». She asked to see the emails to confirm that I had sent requests, but she did not attempt to assist. She could have asked for assistance by checking with her superior, but she did nothing. This was poor service. The refusal to make any effort to assist was blatant and hugely disappointing. The evenings were pouring rain, and we hoped to gather as a family, but we didn’t because we were located so far apart. Aside from this one issue, the boutique hotel is lovely. The rooms are huge and spacious, tastefully decorated with a light color palette, and feature extremely comfortable beds with very nice bedding (making for a fantastic night’s rest after an active hiking day in Fortuna). The rooms had a spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a large-screen television, a good-sized closet, a safe, and an attached balcony. The entire room was immaculately clean. The entire Boutique Hotel is beautifully maintained and feels very secure (gates and a large wall surround the property). However, I didn’t see a security guard at night. The property needs a little more lighting on its walking paths for those walking to the pool, spa, or restaurant, or meeting family/friends after 6pm (it’s very dark). The pool was enjoyed by our 13, 17, and 18-year-olds. The other three adults enjoyed massages at the hotel spa (at least I did - Michelle was great. Be sure to request a therapeutic, gentle massage). The breakfast (included with the room) was absolutely delicious and very filling. We opted for the local-style breakfast (3 options: American, breakfast sandwich, or local). We were served fresh juice & fruit, warm/freshly baked pastries, a delicious main course (eggs, rice and beans, sausage, plantain, etc.), followed by coffee and tea. Everything was scrumptious. The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, was impeccably clean, and offered gracious, kind, and attentive service. It would be nice if this property included access to a washer and dryer because, in the rainforest, clothing becomes damp… it would be lovely to be able to clean or at least dry some clothing quickly. Undeniably, this is a relaxing, extremely comfortable, immaculately clean, safe, and beautiful Boutique hotel. It doesn’t have direct access to hot springs (a must-do in Fortuna), but this hotel offers lovely, high-quality accommodations. It’s suitable for families and groups (if/when they accommodate adjacent rooms) and honeymooners. If you have a special request, then call ahead and speak with someone on the property and confirm before you arrive. With the exception of the first staff member I encountered on the property, every other member of the hotel staff was welcoming, kind, gracious, and very helpful.

Extra Bonus: a sloth lives in the trees of the parking and the hotel staff will help you to spot it. It's way closer and better than the sloth park. Room are quite spacious and clean, swimming pool small. Breakfast only 3 simple options

Amazing
Amazing Stay with Fantastic Hot Springs and Waterslides! We had an incredible time at this beautiful hotel! The hot springs were a true highlight—relaxing and rejuvenating, with breathtaking views. The waterslides added a fun and adventurous twist to our stay. The property itself is stunning and well-maintained, with a serene and inviting atmosphere. The only downside was the lack of dryers anywhere on the property, which meant we had to take some damp clothes with us on the plane. However, this was a minor inconvenience compared to the overall experience. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend it to our friends. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with unique amenities, this place is a fantastic choice!

We had a wonderful experience with Casa Luna! The hotel property is beautiful with an amazing garden. Room was clean and well maintained. Breakfast was delicious! The hotel staff are very nice and ready to help. One night we were walking in the garden, we ran into a hotel security, Dimas (hope I got the name right). We asked about animals. Dimas right away gave us a tour and showed us so many animals! We saw sloth, snake, frogs (including the green one), alligator, fresh water crab...all in the hotel garden!!! The garden is a paradise. Inside the hotel property, all we could hear was the sounds of insects, frogs, birds... We are so happy that we stayed at Casa Luna!

Nice hotel to stay in La Fortuna per reasonable price. The room we hosted was a bit small but it doesn’t matter as this to sleep only. There is quite spacious terrace with the table like “bar counter”. Breakfast is typical costarricense and preparing quite quickly. There is several grocery shops around (including MegaSuper) as well as a lot of points to eat. Enjoyed staying in the hotel.
