La Fortuna Downtown Boutique Hotel

* TIP* The hotel names can be confusing. The hotel is actually called La Fortuna Downtown Inn but when checking on google maps or on reviews site such as this one, you will find it under Arenal Bromelias. We stayed at Fortuna Downtown Inn for 3 nights in May and had a great stay. The location is perfect, right in the middle of Downtown, next to restaurants, grocery stores and tour agencies. Right across the street is a beautiful park. The view of the volcano from the front of the hotel is breathtaking and I'm guessing if our room was higher up, the view would have been great as well. Most rooms have balconies, ours did not. We had room 11 which is right in front of the pool and 2 steps away from the lobby and breakfast area which was convenient but only downside was that it was a little bit noisy in the morning and no balcony. The room itself was beautiful, comfortable bed, big flat screen tv, best a/c in our whole trip, great wi-fi ( maybe due to being close to the lobby? ) and big & beautiful shower with hot water. Our room was handicap accessible so I'm guessing that's why the shower was as big as it was but it was truly amazing. The pool was gorgeous, warm and we liked the fact that we could drink alcoholic beverages poolside. The breakfast in the morning was delicious. Most days it was continental with a big variety of choices and great coffee. Other days it was plate breakfast of eggs & plantains. The lady at the breakfast counter was so nice & such a great cook. I unfortunately forgot her name but she was so hardworking. She worked at the breakfast counter but also did housekeeping and maintenance work. She always had a smile on her face, rain or sun, and she really lit up our stay ! Front desk staff were also very friendly and always available to help. Felt super safe as entire facility was gated. All in all our stay was wonderful ! We would recommend this hotel to friends with no hesitation. Thank you for a great stay in the wonderful city of La Fortuna.
