I’m not surprised by the high reviews — the photos show exactly how it is. The place has a calm vibe, great breakfast and coffee, and a garden full of life. The night tour was amazing, with red-eyed and glass frogs. We didn’t see a sloth in the garden but did at Mistico Park and at the hosts’ farm, where we ate fresh rambutans! We didn’t feel like a tourist here but part of the family. Truly memorable stay. Thank you Leo and Rosaura!

The property is lush and tropical attracting all sorts of birds. The rooms have a fabulous view of the volcano and it’s a short drive or longer walk to town. The rooms are cleaned daily. The staff are very helpful and kind. There’s a shared tea / coffee area and pool. Really great value. We loved our stay here.

Hotel Secreto is fantastic! Excellent value, central location, rooms are spotless and very comfortable. All the staff were so friendly and helpful. We had a room with a beautiful volcano view, and spent hours floating in the pool looking up at Arenal. The garden is lovely, lots of hummingbirds and butterflies, as well as Dany the sloth!

Perfect location close to the airport. We were starting our Nomad America trip and this place was close by and allowed us to do our chores etc before going. Highly recommend this place for those on a budget looking for a clean, comfortable, friendly place in a good spot to be close to the airport and in walking distance of shops/restaurants

Karen and family couldn’t have been more friendly and helpful. Beautiful setting where you could sit and see lots of wildlife and fantastic birds. We saw howler monkeys, iguana and toucans. There was a couti near the river that flows through the property at two separate locations. The bungalow was really beautifully decorated and furnished, and very clean. The shower room was spacious.

The highest benefits of these accommodation is definitely the location and the amazing view from the window. Is it better to stay at the edge of La Fortuna, because the town is very rush and traffic. The cottage was very clean, spacious and comfortable, the staff was helpful, the breakfast was inventive and very good. The air-conditioner worked very well. When you are traveling by car, is it possible to park in the grounds.

The rooms are very clean and have delightful art and decorations inspired by nature. The location is fantastic for walking to Tenorio national park. Straightforward check in process and bring cash if you have not paid beforehand since there is no way of paying by card.
