  • The room I am wanting to book says there is a balcony. Does that mean it is on the second floor? e.g. do you offer room service?

    Dear guest, We have both, rooms upstairs with balcony and rooms downstairs with terrace/patio. As of now, we do not have room service but we are working on a new app that will include room service as well.

  • could you tell me if it would be possible for transportation to be provided by your hotel to SJO ?? Our flight will depart Saturday, Oct. 16 @ 3:45pm

    Estimado huésped. Con mucho gusto le podemos ayudar a coordinar el transporte desde SJO a La Fortuna, hay transportes colectivos que tienen horarios establecidos en la mañana y en la tarde, si se llega muy noche sería un transporte privado.

  • Hello we are 3 people and we need transportation from San Jose airport. What is the best budget option please? We don’t want to rent cars…

    Private service leaves at any time you want as the driver will go there when you say so and it takes from 3 hours, the price is $190 for the whole party (no more than 4 people). We can help you to make the reservation, just let us know.
