Hotel adequate; Restaurant less so.

This place is not a bad option. It's a bit over-priced. The pool is nice enough (3 ft deep!) & the staff is helpful. The lighting is terrible--ours had no cover so it felt like an interrogation. No bedstand lighting, harsh & insufficient ceiling lights. It's pretty depressing, frankly - à la cheap roadside motels.The rooms are clean enough, although it may be time for a bit of a spruce up. The location is fine--and the town has many dining options, on which you'll depend, as the food at this hotel is just not good (but you can't walk to them--it's a five-minute drive). Pro tip--avoid the horrid breakfast buffet (I mean, really bad!) and ask the waiter to prepare an omelet. It was very good. But, terrible toast & all the margarine you can eat. I begged for butter, but was told by the staff that they didn't have any butter. But, one day, a magical employee who actually gave a damn brought me "the last three tabs" of butter. I thanked him profusely. Apparently, the restaurant is known for it's wood-fired pizza. While it's true that they did use a wood oven, it was without question the worst pizza we EVER had. Chalky, flat crust, pasty tomato sauce and about three pounds of not-good cheese. I asked for the jalapeños, only to learn that they were PICKLED!! Seriously?? pickles on pizza, and in a country that probably grows more jalapeños than any other produce?? Again, an embarrassment.

No hot water, no wifi in room, no ….

No hot water, no wifi in the room, no table, no chairs, no room for luggage. Bed has strange smell. Very disappointed given the price. May be OK if the price is half.

The staff was excellent. They made great suggestions for dinner and made reservations for us. There was a shuttle to take you to restaurants which was helpful because La Fortuna is busy. Very spacious rooms, terrific views of Volcano.
