Very nice place to stay in La Fortuna, supermarket, restaurants in walking distance, friendly staff, beautiful rooms with direct view to the volcano, the breakfast is served in a place nearby where you have a very simple breakfast but you can observe the birds during your breakfast, worth to go

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

I would totally recommend staying here! Very clean, beautiful property, very spacious rooms. Amazing volcano view. A small common area with microwave, water boiler, etc. Small but clean pool. Very good soda just around the corner. Breakfast is in another hotel, but was okay.

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.

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.
