The night frog tour and birdwatching during breakfast were great. Breakfast itself was also very good - they mixed it up a bit every day :)

The accommodation was in a quiet neighbourhood close to the main strip in La Fortuna. The home was clean, large, and had incredibly comfortable beds. We loved having a quiet place as a home base to counter all of the fun we were having in La Fortuna. Jordi was a very helpful, kind, and responsive host. He was very accommodating with unforeseen changes to our plans and we were quite grateful.

A small comfortable house in nature but close to La Fortuna. By the small river, where monkeys shout, toucans and macaws are perched in the trees, turkeys are having breakfast, hummingbirds are making their nests in the garden. While sitting and drinking coffee in the terrace of the house, hummingbirds and various birds are constantly fly and chirp among the trees and flowers. Friendly and kind hosts, great breakfast. Wonderful time spent.

The owners are very kind, helpful and welcoming, they really care about you and that everything is going fine. The house position is great if you have a car cause it's not far from the center and is so quiet and near a forest. In the morning a lot of colibrì visit the house, that's amazing! And you can hear the monkeys from the forest. Kitchen, bathroom and bedroom are perfect.
