This hotel really made our stay in La fortuna feel like heaven. My mom didn’t want to leave the place. Exceeded every expectation and the property looks even more beautiful in pictures. Each room was nestled between tropical plants and we got the room with a hot tub which was amazing to have especially after a long days hike. The hotel is newer (less than 3 years) so everything in the room has a modern clean feel. The location was amazing too as it’s a very short Uber ride from the town yet you can be cut off from all the noise and stay immersed in nature. The free breakfast surpassed any free breakfast I’ve had. And the service by all the staff was 10/10 - front desk, restaurant service staff and everyone was so friendly and helpful. Fernando is the new front desk lead and did an amazing job helping us arrange transport, tours and anything else we needed. I wouldn’t mind going back to La Fortuna just to stay here again. …

We had a great stay at Noah's Forest. Room was very nice, comfortable king bed and great bathroom, very importantly always had hot water. Short drive or Uber (very cheap) 5-10 minutes to get into La Fortuna town for restaurants. Included breakfast was great and server Karen was amazing. She made us feel welcome and was super kind and helpful! The property itself is very nice with lots of beautiful plants and birds. Saw hummingbirds right outside our door and also they set up a telescope that allowed us to see a sloth on the property (see pic). Would recommend staying at Noahs Forest to anyone considering a trip to Costa Rica.

10/10. We paid for the upgraded room with a personal hot tub-absolutely worth it. Our room was clean, provided us with water, and upon arrival we were given a delicious complimentary passionfruit/guava drink. The free breakfast was amazing! We paid for lunch and dinner as well, prices were absolutely reasonable + service staff was so friendly. The front desk helped us book taxi's throughout our stay, as well as transportation to and from San Juan airport. We felt so safe! Front desk gave us a whatsapp # we could text and it was so helpful. Anna was amazing- gave us panadol when I had a horrible headache + rubbing alcohol to clean a wound I got in Rio Tabacon. The massages are reasonably priced--we did the Relaxation massage with Rebecca and Monika- both AMAZING. Thank you very much for a lovely stay. This place is a hidden gem.…

It was an amazing experience! They set up two swans facing each other with an anniversary card attached. The bed was amamzing, the double showers, annnd them both being waterfall shower heads. The jacuzzi was phenomenal. Jose Angel was wonderful, we got there @4:30 am and he was very attentive to us. The staff all around were amazing. We were able to see a sloth! We are definitely returning customers. Thank you everyone for giving us such a wonderful experience.

One of the most beautiful properties I’ve ever been to! We arrived very late at night and were greeted by the very kind gentleman at the front desk, Jose Angel, he helped us with our bags to our room. Inside our room we had a special surprise for mine and my significant others anniversary, I mentioned this when booking and I’m so glad they went above and beyond and had swan towels in the shape of a heart centered in the bed it was beautiful. Speaking of, the beds were much more comfortable than the second resort we stayed at on our trip here. The jacuzzi next to the room was an amazing addition (it looked freshly cleaned and wiped down as well). A pretty good breakfast is included as well, unfortunately I only had time to grab a few croissants and fruit not actually sit down for a proper breakfast but I absolutely loved my experience here, just wish I had time to try the full breakfast and their spa as well!! I didn’t realize they offered spa services until I was almost checking out so definitely would like to check that out next time. Thank you to all the staff at Noah’s Forest you are all great and made my experience to Costa Rica that much more memorable 🙌🏼…

This hotel exceeded every expectation I had going into the trip! The photos do not do this place justice. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with each bungalow seemingly tucked away in the trees. Every staff member was so kind and helpful. I wish I remembered our breakfast servers name because he was a gem. The rooms are huge with amazing AC and the best hotel showers I’ve ever seen. I wish we had one extra day in La Fortuna just to sit around and enjoy this property for all it offered! If we ever come back to Costa Rica we will be staying here again. Pura Vida!

It is beautiful. Rooms excellent. Restaurant and bar is just right… mostly a menu you would find in the states so not sure if that is good/bad or standard for here. Staff is excellent, friendly and attentive. LOVE the tranquility here compared to the busy La Fortuna attractions and town. Only negative is Pool area is sub par, seems to be an afterthought (no table at loungers, no shade for loungers, dirty loungers). It’s definitely relaxing and we would absolutely come back when in La Fortuna area!

I can't say enough about this gem. Everything was clean, staff was friendly, breakfast was excellent and the location was perfect. Allen, Carla, and Karen were the best. We enjoyed the warm welcomes, recommendations and home away from home feeling. Can't wait to go back.

My wife and I stayed at this wonderful boutique hotel in April. We had a wonderful experience. Every staff member we encountered, were delightful and eager to help! Thank you! Our room was modern, extremely clean and very comfortable. We really enjoyed our private spa late in the evening while listening to the sounds of the jungle. We had an amazing dinner at the on site restaurant which was reasonably priced and the breakfast which is included with your stay is out of this world. I especially love the fresh coconut water. The grounds were beautiful and really gave you that jungle vibe. We had the pleasure of seeing a baby sloth slowly moving and chillin in a tree. I highly recommend this hotel for anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica
