Very old property without A/C, hot tub or coffee before 8. Friendly staff, nice walking/hiking path, views and wild life such as monkeys, toucans and parrots in jungle like lake view setting. Food only offered inside so if you prefer eating or drinking outside you need to carry it out and back. Poor quality not worth the value. Couldn’t sleep well because of missing A/C or poor airflow. Bathroom was pretty gross needed lots of maintenance and saw a couple of roaches. Plenty of spiderwebs in corners but those were fine since they’d at least get the mosquitoes. Had to ask for pool towels and coffee cups. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but management could offer a lot more so customers would return. Great place to visit but I wouldn’t stay overnight again

Toucan and monkey spotting!
We had a great stay here, wish we could have stayed longer. The beer and food were delicious, the monkeys and birds were fun to spot around the property, and the pool was comfortable.

Beautiful location with incredible views. The staff is always kind and helpful. Make time to take the horseback riding tour! So worth it! Amazing views of the lake. End the day with a relaxing massage from Tia. She is so sweet, you won’t regret it.

We booked a night here to break up the drive from La Fortuna to MonteVerde. But turned out to be great find - what more could you ask for besides a hotel WITH a brewery?? Well how about your morning serenaded with all sorts of crazy birds (toucans, parrots, hawks), and monkeys literally crawling all over the trees. Great view of the lake and pretty remote, so no sound of traffic, just nature. And btw, don’t park under the trees in the front lest you want your car “decorated” by the monkeys :-)

This is a mediocre hotel. The property and views are gorgeous, but the hotel itself needs updating. No AC, no fridge, the bathroom needs an overhaul. It is past its prime. The kids liked the pool tables and other games on site.

The view around the property and the lake view is very good. The location is a big plus. But the property is very poorly managed. Its dirty, amenities like showers/ AC/ Lights etc wont work well. It smells a bit as well. It was hot during summer without AC and fans dont work well. The bathrooms are old and dingy. Showers spew water in drops. No microwaves, coffee machines or any other amenities. The room barely has a bed and a light. If you can camp near LA Fortuna, then i would highly suggest staying there and avoid this place.

The room itself wasn’t the best, it had some bugs, no mini-refrigerator and no air conditioning, but the property itself is beautiful. The bugs are part of Costa Rica so I’m not dinging it for that but there is a lot of construction and old brewery equipment laying around that needs to be thrown away. The restaurant staff was great and the food was pretty good. Definitely worth it for the price and whole experience of the place.

The staff were all amazing. They were super friendly and ready to serve. Having the restaurant and brewery in the vrbo was an added bonus. Both the beverages and food were so good we took all of our meals there. The bathroom, bedroom, beds and bedding could use some updating, The pillows were flat and the beds were uncomfortable. The tub had a huge crack it in and the repair job was unsightly. If the rooms were better, I would highly recommend the place to everyone, as it is now, I can only recommend the restaurant and bar. One other thing. It you do stay, don’t park under any trees. The monkeys like to poop on cars!
