During our travels around Costa Rica, we were very fortunate to stay for 2 nights at Hotel La Pradera. Our bungalow, while surrounded on either side by other bungalows in close proximity, seemed very secluded. The hotel grounds were beautifully maintained with the added bonus of a pool & jacuzzi. The food in the restaurant was delicious, and the staff... More

This hotel had been recommended and booked for us by Carlos Jimenez, of Monteverde Welcome Center and Casa Batsu. It was an excellent recommendation. We had a superior room facing Arenal Volcano, which loomed above us. We had a beautiful garden right outside our door and only a short walk to the swimming pool and huge outdoor jacuzzi. Our large...

We stayed for 3 nights in this hotel. Due to the very thin walls we could not sleep the first night (people chatting, watching TV etc - there was a constant noise, even impossible to sleep with earplugs) and wanted to complain at 10.30pm. However, the reception was closed. The next morning we complained to the manager and were expecting... More

Upon arriving at the hotel, the staff initially seemed confused when I was checking in, but all was well, and the had my reservation. We stayed in one of the bungalows because the rest of the other rooms were booked, but I'm glad we did. I found them to be very cozy (though yes, the lighting seemed insufficient at times)... More

Stayed March 17-20. Had excellent weather. We were in the cabins. Clean, spacious and comfortable. Great location from town. Very good food and fairly priced. Grounds very pretty and pool and hot tub clean and comfortable. Nice people. Sky Trek a bit of a trip over poor roads., but worth the trip. Baldi Spas just down the road. It was... More

This was a 2 star hotel but it felt like more. It was good enough for our needs and had a beautiful view of the volcano. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast that came with your stay was very good. This location was very close to town and the hot springs. I highly recommend this hotel for... More

Due to availability we spent one night in a superior Bungalow and two nights in a standard room. The superior bungalow was very nice, large, detatched and set in lovely grounds with great views of the Volcano. It was well equipped with TV, A/C, Fridge, coffee maker and one double bed. As seems the norm in Costa Rica the room... More

Our recent 3 day stay at La Pradera was wonderful! The grounds and the pool were very well kept, beautiful vegetation and they even had name plackards under many of the plants. The room was clean, and the bathroom was very large-especially the shower! We had a frig and the a/c worked great. I recommend booking one of the rooms... More

Our tour company Desafino Adventure set us up in this hotel! The food there was by far the best we had in La Fortuna...besides Don Rufinos. I recommend you try the soup! The staff was very sweet and helpful. The rooms were nice and comfortable for little time we stayed in it! It was very clean we had a fridge,... More

We stayed here somewhat by accident, the price was dirt cheap for the room, which was one of the best we actually stayed in. Comfortable beds, working AC. Nice views of the volcano, nice pool and walking trails around the grounds. Gigantic bathrooms and shower, seriously the shower alone was the size of my entire bathroom. Nice staff, nice food...
