We had a wonderful stay at La Fortuna and were very happy with everything. The location was perfect, and Andrés was an amazing host — communication with him was easy, friendly, and always helpful. We would definitely stay here again and highly recommend it!

El camper está bellísimo y muy completo , con una vista increíble del volcán y a la par de las termales, las cuales están preciosas y limpias!!! Lo único q recomiendo es q no es adecuado para personas de tercera edad o con discapacidad, salvo el cuarto de abajo. Los cuartos de arriba son para personas jóvenes o niños por su acceso reducido.

I had a great experience here! The owners were so sweet and very helpful with everything I had questions about as a solo traveler! It is a little farther from town but it is very inexpensive to get rides here. The AC kept me very cool at night. I saw others complaining about noise, while it can get noisy during the day, at night it is very quiet. I didn’t use it but they have a microwave which is helpful if you have leftovers.

Tive uma ótima experiência com Andres! A casa que alugamos foi ótima! Silenciosa, espaçosa, cozinha ótima, camas confortáveis! Meu filho amou a jacuzzi quentinha após dia longo de passeios. Mary nos recebeu muito bem! Obrigada por tudo

Pleasant appartment, well located and very friendly host with clear self-checkin instructions. Our little daughters (2 and 4) were most happy with the bunk bed and we appreciate the airco. More than recommended!

La Fortuna River Way Apartments are modern, comfortable, and offer secure parking, which we really appreciated. They’re located just outside of town—an easy 5-minute drive—or you can easily walk to some of the nearby restaurants, cafés, and a supermarket. The apartment was fresh and spotlessly clean on arrival, with a very comfortable bed. We especially loved the hot rain shower—such a treat after a day of exploring. The kitchen is well equipped with cooking facilities and crockery, making it easy to prepare your own meals if you wish. Overall, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. The host was friendly and very responsive, quickly answering any questions we had. We would happily stay here again and highly recommend it to others visiting La Fortuna
