Beautiful resort with fantastic pools and hot springs. The grounds were kept immaculate and the front desk was always very helpful. We found food and drink pricing reasonable, however we found food at the main restaurant not great (aside from the breakfast buffet which was good). We enjoyed the food at the pool bar much better. Rooms were very spacious and clean. We did find that the walls were very thin and we could hear our neighbors quite a bit ( as small of a sound as a sneeze or conversation could all be heard). This made it challenging to sleep on some days depending on how active our neighbours were. Overall we really enjoyed our stay and enjoyed the springs.

Good not great. Could use a facelift.
Nice grounds and pools. Large rooms but somewhat stark. All tile floors. Smelled like cleaning products. Cabinets were rickety. Seems like built in the 70s and never upgraded. Could hear people easily in adjacent rooms and our neighbors below complained to us that we sounded like construction workers through their ceiling. Restaurant was reasonable with good food.

Great hotel. Clean. The natural spring water does not taste salty at all, which is weird and suspicious. There are two areas with views. I wish they had some trails at the lake area

Can hear the people next door loud and clear, phone didn’t work. I had to spend $10 on international call to call front desk multiple times. The rooms are very far from pools so there is a shuttle provided. With phone not working, it was challenging to get shuttle. Our key cards didn’t work either and we spent time waiting to get that fixed.

We liked the waterways and the natural springs. The hotel is what it is with regard to the design and layout. It's fairly outdated and inconvenient to have to wait for shuttles to pick you up and drop you off at various areas of interest across the property. The level of service and cleanliness is not adequate though. Only stayed there for one night but that was long enough to experience long delays when it comes to shuttle service and for the washrooms to stop working completely. My family wanted to use the washrooms when leaving the pool/springs area and the washrooms in multiple locations had the water turned off. You can only imagine what the toilets looked like with people unable to flush for hours. And when I brought this up, they were aware of the problem but no solution was given. The staff themselves seem nice with warm smiles but a note to management. Please give the employees the tools they need to make the customers stay more comfortable. For instance many times we asked for a slight alteration to how the eggs were prepared, or if we wanted a specific item with room service, we were politely told it was not possible. If travelling on the cheap and your expectations are very low I would say you may not notice these shortcomings but if you value, well value... Stay somewhere else.

Overall, it is a large resort with beautiful grounds. But the rooms were VERY dated and in our opinion gross. Our room was musty smelling, unwelcoming and uncomfortable. We checked out a day early and ended up booking an extra day at the resort we had planned to go to second. The breakfast was decent for being included, lunch/dinner restaurant was not good at all for the price. The bar food was great and the service there was wonderful. I booked this resort with lower expectations as I was booking “budget” as we had lots of excursions planned during the day and really wanted this to just sleep. We dreaded coming back here after our long day of excursions and in the future would pay more to stay at a place with rooms that didn’t smell, were comfortable and clean. When we checked out the receptionist said “you are checking out a day early” and my husband said “yes, we are unhappy. The room was gross and smelled” and he just replied “okay”. La Fortuna was a great and wonderful experience but we would definitely stay elsewhere next time!
