Discover the charm of Hotel Secreto La Fortuna, a quiet retreat in the heart of Fortuna, Costa Rica. Just 300 meters from the park, our hotel offers air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and breakfast included, ensuring a comfortable and pleasant stay. Our stay here was even better than expected! The entire experience exceeded our hopes, starting with the excellent food, the location, the outside area . the garden is full of hummingbirds 😊 What truly stood out was the cleanliness of the place. The rooms were spotless and well-maintained throughout our stay. A big thank you to the ladies who cleaned the rooms — they were kind, efficient, and always had a smile on their faces. Their attention to detail did not go unnoticed. A special mention must go to Fabricio at reception, who was without a doubt the best receptionist we've ever met. He went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and taken care of, helping with everything from local tips to making sure our needs were met. His professionalism and friendliness truly made a difference. We would gladly return and highly recommend this place to anyone looking for a great stay!

Also the staff was very polite, helpful and professional. You don't need to look for any other accommodation just book this, you won't regret it.

Set in Fortuna, 3.1 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, BAUMA offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking and a terrace. Located around 19 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park, the hotel with free WiFi is also 20 km away from Sky Adventures Arenal. The property is non-smoking and is located 3.3 km from Kalambu Hot Springs. We loved our stay at BAUMA, can’t recommend it enough and would happily have stayed longer! The location was great, (across the road from North Fields Coffee and Chocolate tour which is well worth doing) and only took a few minutes by car to all the La Fortuna local restaurants. We stayed in Villa 1 as a family of 3. We loved the privacy of the villa, it was spotlessly clean, the bed linen and beds were super comfy, a well equipped kitchen (not that we cooked). The lounge area was great to relax in, we connected the tv to our Netflix account. The pool was rather refreshing but lovely to relax by after a day exploring the area! Being able to do laundry was an added bonus! Housekeeping came in daily and all the staff were very friendly and helpful. Thank you.
