Алахуэла, Коста-Рика: отели, где есть Завтрак

My family and I arrived at Casa Del Rio on November 26.  We spent 2 nights here.  We are a party of 6 and booked three rooms under two separate reservations.  My reservation was through Trip.com and confirmed on Nov 19.   This boutique hotel sprawls across a large, beautifully maintained property. The individual cabana-type rooms are spread out across the property.  So, when I booked my reservation, I requested that my room be as close as possible to my family’s two rooms. I also messaged the property on WhatsApp and requested that my room be adjacent to, or as close as possible to, my family’s rooms. On Nov 20, I received a message: «If the rooms are the same category, we can try to accommodate you. I replied, «Yes, all three rooms are the same category (a king bed and twin)». I also received an email from the hotel (hotelboutiqueca.4rr68r2bkw630rt@service.trip.com) and sent the same request for our three rooms to be adjacent to each other.  When we arrived, two rooms on the same reservation were adjacent to each other, but my room was far away in a completely different location. I asked for assistance to modify this, and the receptionist told me «not possible ».  She asked to see the emails to confirm that  I had sent requests, but she did not attempt to assist.  She could have asked for assistance by checking with her superior, but she did nothing.  This was poor service. The refusal to make any effort to assist was blatant and hugely disappointing. The evenings were pouring rain, and we hoped to gather as a family, but we didn’t because we were located so far apart.  Aside from this one issue, the boutique hotel is lovely. The rooms are huge and spacious, tastefully decorated with a light color palette, and feature extremely comfortable beds with very nice bedding (making for a fantastic night’s rest after an active hiking day in Fortuna). The rooms had a spacious bathroom with a large walk-in shower, a large-screen television, a good-sized closet, a safe, and an attached balcony.  The entire room was immaculately clean.   The entire Boutique Hotel is beautifully maintained and feels very secure (gates and a large wall surround the property).  However, I didn’t see a security guard at night.  The property needs a little more lighting on its walking paths for those walking to the pool, spa, or restaurant, or meeting family/friends after 6pm (it’s very dark). The pool was enjoyed by our 13, 17, and 18-year-olds.  The other three adults enjoyed massages at the hotel spa (at least I did - Michelle was great. Be sure to request a therapeutic, gentle massage).   The breakfast (included with the room) was absolutely delicious and very filling. We opted for the local-style breakfast (3 options: American, breakfast sandwich, or local). We were served fresh juice & fruit, warm/freshly baked pastries, a delicious main course (eggs, rice and beans, sausage, plantain, etc.), followed by coffee and tea.  Everything was scrumptious.  The restaurant had a lovely ambiance, was impeccably clean, and offered gracious, kind, and attentive service.  It would be nice if this property included access to a washer and dryer because, in the rainforest, clothing becomes damp… it would be lovely to be able to clean or at least dry some clothing quickly.  Undeniably, this is a relaxing, extremely comfortable, immaculately clean, safe, and beautiful Boutique hotel. It doesn’t have direct access to hot springs (a must-do in Fortuna), but this hotel offers lovely, high-quality accommodations. It’s suitable for families and groups  (if/when they accommodate adjacent rooms) and honeymooners.   If you have a special request, then call ahead and speak with someone on the property and confirm before you arrive. With the exception of the first staff member I encountered on the property, every other member of the hotel staff was welcoming, kind, gracious, and very helpful.

Location is great. Bed is comfortable and the room with A/C is so great. Netflix hotel account included was surprisingly unexpected as well. The vibe of the Selina La Fortuna is what I expected from reading reviews and the pictures.

We arrived to find a beautiful hotel In a lush setting with the most beautiful foliage with tropical birds.  The grounds were a paradise. Every morning we were serenaded with the songs of all the different bird species.  The restaurant was an excellent Italian restaurant  that we would recommend to anyone.  The staff was always happy to provide any assistance with a smile.

Если вы прилетаете в аэропорт Сан-Хосе поздно и у вас ранний рейс утром, я бы без сомнений остановился здесь снова. Бесплатный трансфер, который ходит каждые 30 минут, очень удобен, а расположение отличное, прямо через дорогу находится Walmart, где вы можете купить все необходимое в последнюю минуту. Персонал супер дружелюбный, кровать удобная, а номера чистые. Хотя напор воды в душе довольно слабый, но кроме этого я ничего не могу придумать. Принимая во внимание время года, номер стоил больше, чем я хотел потратить, но, учитывая общее удобство и впечатления, в целом, это того стоило, и я с нетерпением жду возможности снова остановиться здесь, когда прилечу из Сан-Хосе.

У нас был замечательный опыт отдыха в Casa Luna! Территория отеля прекрасная, с потрясающим садом. Номер был чистым и ухоженным. Завтрак был восхитительным! Персонал отеля очень приветливый и всегда готов помочь. Однажды вечером, гуляя по саду, мы столкнулись с охранником отеля, Димасом (надеюсь, я правильно запомнила его имя). Мы спросили его о животных. Димас тут же провёл нам экскурсию и показал столько всего! Мы видели ленивцев, змей, лягушек (в том числе зелёную), аллигатора, пресноводного краба... и всё это в саду отеля!!! Сад — настоящий рай. Внутри отеля мы слышали только жужжание насекомых, лягушек и птиц... Мы так рады, что остановились в Casa Luna!

Отдельная комната, в которой мы остановились, была очень комфортной, а небольшой дворик/садик просто прекрасен, и хозяин исключительно отзывчив. Дом расположен недалеко от аэропорта SJO, нам предоставили трансфер до и после прилета, а также хозяин предложил множество вариантов достопримечательностей, мы купили один из них, и это было здорово. Мы очень довольны проживанием в этом доме и обязательно вернемся сюда снова, когда будем в Коста-Рике в будущем. Чуть не забыл упомянуть, что завтрак включен в стоимость, а обед стоит 6 долларов, что является отличной ценой для одного человека в городе. На обед мы ели рыбу, и это было очень вкусно.

You think you’ve booked a room like the one shown in the pictures, but instead you’re given the worst room. They use misleading photos, and when you question it, they tell you that you need to upgrade. To avoid the hassle, I ended up paying extra just to get the room I originally thought I had booked, especially since this was my first stop and I didn’t want to start my trip on a bad note. After contacting Trip.com, they compensated me. There is also no elevator and no assistance, so you have to carry your own luggage up and down the stairs.
