✅ The staff was amazing. ✅ As a vegetarian, I found the breakfast had ample options. The staff even made hot-cocoa for the kids. ✅ The hotel in general is great too -- offering view of the Arenal Volcano. ✅ The hotel is situated in the heart of "LaFortuna downtown" so most places were in ~5-10 mins walkable distance -- though we drove due to heavy rain. ✅ The TV is smart-TV so Netflix/YouTube etc were built in. ❌ There are geckos (which I thought were lizards) everywhere. I expected them to see outside, but they were lurking inside the room. So, we were always afraid of opening bags. The staff did eliminate one of them on the first day. But we come back after dinner, and two other tiny ones show up. We always kept patio door closed, but either the geckos were hiding behind furniture from the beginning or they sneaked in from under the door. ❌ The AC never cooled -- even after setting to 17c (~62f) the room felt damp, humid and hot. ❌ The bathroom does not have exhaust fan. Overall, I enjoyed my stay at the hotel, and would definitely stay again on my next trip.

We had a quick stop in La Fotuna, but Secreto hotel was the perfect stay. So close to eveything. The rooms were nice and clean and Fabrizio who greeted us was spectacular! The grounds are very beautiful and the breakfast was great.

Staff was very friendly and ready to help. We had an issue with the toilet and they came to help right away and resolved the issue. Location was great and very walkable to town. Beautiful grounds and pool looked beautiful. (We didn’t end up using it due to thunderstorms but wished we had been able to). They were wonderful and accommodated our early morning departure with an early breakfast. It was a very nice place to stay.

We had a lovely 4 night stay. Great location, and nice restaurants nearby (especially Trevesia). Great view of the volcano, nice and clean grounds with very friendly staff and guests. Breakfast was simple but good (3 options: eggs fried or scrambled, either with toast, pancakes, or rice/beans). Overall, a nice 3-star hotel, we were happy with this choice.

Una joya con vista al volcán Arenal

Nuestra estadía en el Hotel El Secreto en La Fortuna fue maravillosa. El lugar es hermoso, con una vista espectacular al volcán Arenal, lo que hizo que cada mañana fuera especial. El servicio fue excelente. El recepcionista siempre nos saludaba con una sonrisa y fue muy amable al recomendarnos lugares para comer. Además, reservando con ellos obtuvimos un descuento en las aguas termales de Baldi, y también ofrecen otras excursiones con precios especiales si las compras directamente con ellos. La habitación era amplia, cómoda y el baño estaba en excelentes condiciones. Lo único que podría mencionar es que al estar en el primer piso, se escuchaban algunas conversaciones de personas que pasaban cerca, pero no fue algo que afectara mucho la experiencia. Definitivamente me volvería a quedar aquí. La ubicación es ideal, ya que se puede caminar fácilmente a varios restaurantes, bares y cafés. Lo recomiendo sin dudar.
