There are far too many incredible hotels in the area (like Nayara Springs or Volcano Lodge) to waste your money on a property that blatantly lies to its guests. Before booking, I explicitly reached out to ask if any construction was planned during my visit. Greivin Vega from the hotel assured me in writing on March 1st that there was \"nothing scheduled that would affect stays between June and August 2026.\" This was a flat-out lie. A significant portion of the buildings were under full construction—and clearly had been for some time. The construction started at dawn and blasted straight through until dusk, seven days a week (Monday through Sunday). So much for a peaceful and romantic vacation. They advertise two restaurants, but only one is operational. The second restaurant—located outside the hotel grounds—looked completely abandoned. The Wi-fi connection was extremely spotty. Even ignoring an \"act of God\" lightning strike on our villa, the pre-existing condition of the room was unacceptable. Almost everything had to be fixed at one point or another. The main reason I booked this hotel was for the private pool which was a total bust. Tiles were peeling off the bottom, and the jets controlling the water temperature kept shutting off. The water was constantly fluctuating between boiling hot and freezing cold. The roof leaked, and on multiple mornings we had no running water. The bathroom \"waterfall feature\" is just a cheap gimmick that adds zero value. Food and drinks only +.

This property is situated at the end of a road near La Fortuna. Very little signage from the main road so getting there in the dark was kinda scary. Check in was fine and the rooms are spread out in bungalows throughout the lush landscape. This was in July and the rain was constant, especially at night. The room was dissapointing as it is just basic furnishings in an open room. Our waterfall shower had a frog in it. Bugs were present, but with all the moisture it should not be surprising. The TV is up on an adjacent wall and not viewable at all. The beds were very basic. No lamps, just sconces with bad LED lighting. No fridge which was a major miss. Very easy to get lost finding your room.

The breakfast was great we did dine both nights at the restaurant but it was pricey. Just didn't want to venture out in the rain. The pool was small with a swim up bar. For some reason in CR they do not heat the hot tubs.

We never saw the volcano as it was obscured by clouds both days.

Pros: the grounds are really lovely and the pool area is really nice. The male staff were all very cheerful and pleasant whereas the female staff were almost all somewhat scowling and unfriendly. I can’t figure out what that’s about but we all noticed the same.
Cons: the food offered at the restaurant is mediocre, limited, and overpriced for what it is, even considering how all food in La Fortuna and in Costa Rica in general is surprisingly expensive. The dinning area while not unattractive, is not particularly attractive. The rooms, while large, leave much to be desired as well with no hooks etc to hang wet towels, a minuscule closet and no other options to store or organize clothes and other things. A bit of of common sense and better management could improve all of the above.

This was absolutely one of the best and most beautiful places we have ever stayed. The location was close to everything. The rooms were very clean and spacious. The complimentary breakfast buffet was a huge perk and they had the best food! All of the staff that we encountered went above and beyond in their customer service. We didn’t have a single issue and would love to stay there again.

My family of 4 (two adults and two kids ages 9 and 12) stayed at this hotel for 5 nights while on vacation in La Fortuna. Overall this hotel was a great option for our family to stay at while we were on vacation. This hotel is a great value and worth the money you pay to stay here.

The room- positives:
We had a relatively basic room that we were very happy with. It was HUGE and we had lots of space that was great for us. Room was very clean and well cleaned daily. It was very quiet and excellent for sleeping after a busy day!

The room- neutral/negatives:
-There is no fridge in the room and getting access to ice wasn't easy (just a super long trek from our room and they would give you a tiny amount.) The water from the tap also isn't cold so getting cold water was difficult.

-Apparently in La Fortuna there is a water shut off that happens nightly at 10:00 p.m. It would have been nice if the front desk had given us a heads up on this when we arrived. One night I wasn't able to shower or brush my teeth as planned!

Restaurant:
- We did not like the restaurant and I would recommend avoiding it. It's expensive and the service was not good at any time of day....breakfast or dinner.

The view from this hotel is amazing and the highlight for sure. From our room we had a clear view of the volcano and it was beautiful!!

Overall we were satisfied with our stay. It was good value. It wasn't luxurious by any means but it checked all the boxes of the things we needed.

Highly recommend this hotel. The property is lush and pretty. The staff is amazing, and speak multiple languages. They are also super helpful. It has a nice pool, (that is heated), with swim up bar. The rooms are clean, but expect a few friends. We had a cute frog and baby lizard in our bathroom. The rooms are a bit quirky, as evidenced by the photo’s. We stayed in the two bedroom villa with the mini private pool. The only downside is there isn’t a main sitting area, but having a private pool makes it worth it.
The daily breakfast is really good, it’s buffet style, with different breakfast options every day.

We had the 2 bedroom villa with private pool and it was wonderful. The room was clean, staff was very friendly and helpful. The pool was warm, we went to the main pool a few times and it was also warm, perfect for relaxing after a long day of hiking. I would definitely stay at this property again.

Property was amazing! Beautiful views. Rooms were clean and nice. Bathroom was clean but shower and taps did not work. Shower will only give hot water. Maintenance came to fix it but was then stuck on that temperature. Shower system was very hard to maneuver and adjust. Breakfast buffet was marginal. Resturant was expensive and not so good.

Overall we enjoyed our stay!

Our internet didn’t work for half the stay. The room was far from the dining and pool and it took a long time to get a ride. That’d be ok if it wasn’t downpouring. There were lots of bugs in the room and the rain was very, very loud. So loud when we finally had tv we couldn’t even hear it. There was no where to escape the rain. The tv was mounted way too high on the wall. Not a restful, fun vacation experience.

Inmerse in the nature. Exclusive. Silence and peace. Lots of flora & fauna.

Well priced as opposed to other pricy places who charge just because having the hot springs.

Because limited ammenities, is probably more for couples or adults.

I do recommend it.

For the price, it didn’t live up to our expectations. There are updates being made to the property. It was just an okay stay. By the time we got to breakfast, there weren’t many options left, being a vegetarian, that limits the options. The staff didn’t seem to care about replenishing the chafers, and overall not very friendly. I’m glad it was only one night.

Our stay at Hotel Mountain Paradise in La Fortuna was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We stayed in a gorgeous room with a private pool and breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano. Waking up every morning to that incredible scenery felt like a dream.

The entire property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. One of our favorite features was the heated pool with a swim-up bar — truly a hidden gem and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring.

The food was outstanding, the restaurant exceeded our expectations, and every meal was delicious. Most importantly, the service was exceptional. Every staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable.

We loved every second of our time here and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would 100% recommend Hotel Mountain Paradise to anyone visiting La Fortuna, and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our Costa Rica vacation so special!

Highly recommended , and we will definitely be back!

Our 2 bedroom villa was wonderful. The beds were comfortable, A/C worked great and we loved the private pool. They provide toiletries and hairdryers. There is a small kitchen area with a coffee maker and mini fridge, no microwave. The only thing we missed was not having a living room to hang out together in, but there is plenty of seating on the porch. Beware the doors lock automatically when you shut them so if you are going out on the porch or pool make sure to take your key. The grounds are absolutely amazing, so lush and beautiful and a perfect view of the volcano. We saw so many birds including a toucan in the trees right outside our villa. It is a bit of a walk from the lobby to the rooms as they are spread out across the property. That makes it feel very private, but if you need help getting around they can give you a ride in a golf cart. We enjoyed the free breakfast and one morning we had to leave before breakfast and the front desk got us to go breakfasts (we requested the night before). The staff were all so friendly and helpful. We had dinner at the restaurant the night we arrived. The food was delicious but very expensive. There is also food available at the pool which was very good and cheaper. The pool water is very warm, it felt so good! We took Ubers into La Fortuna and to various activities, it’s a short ride to get around and very affordable. The lush, spacious property feels very secluded, yet is still just a 15 minute uber ride to town.

This is not a place to go. The staff is not responsive and seems uninterested in customer service.

We had a bat in the room that started flying around and they sent someone with a pool cleaner and iphone for a light. We asked to change rooms and it took negotiation to get approval

Then in the new room there was no hot water, the front desk said they forgot to turn in on when we moved rooms.

There is a single pool, very small and focused on swim-up bar. They are updating and reconstructing rooms on the property which leaves a bit of debris all over

This would be 3 star at most and certainly not worthy of a stay

For the price, it’s hard to beat. It’s conveniently located near all the major attractions, the grounds are beautiful, and while the rooms are a bit dated, they’re perfectly serviceable; as long as you’re not expecting a five-star experience. One odd drawback: there’s almost no closet space. We ended up living out of our suitcases the entire stay.

This was our second stay at the Hotel Mountain Paradise, and it was just as good as we remembered! The two-bedroom villa is spacious and a great way to relax for a family of 5. We loved the plunge pool and views and enjoyed breakfast. Great location, close to town and a lot of the activities we wanted to try. It was much busier the second time round and while the main pool is lovely and warm, more chairs are needed. When we tried to visit all chairs were occupied and we had to leave our towel and belongings on a nearby rock.

The hotel was older but quaint and \"typical\" of Costa Rica. The rooms were spacious, with good air conditioning and had own bathtub outside. Had a nice big bathroom with a waterfall shower. Dissapointed that there were hardly any views from the cabins because there was too much vegetation-(do not cut the beautiful trees) However, it makes it very beautiful and private. Saw tons of birds, monkeys and even an aguouti! I do wish we had hammocks like we saw some rooms had. There was a nice view from the pool and restaurant. Like that it is not huge so not a huge amount of tourists. Dissapointed that it only had one small pool/hot springs and property not very big - wish had a \"sendero\" to take walks in the forest. The room service has nice presentation but taste was average- Breakfast not so great. Service was not consistent and some of the workers seemed like \"forced to be nice\". Overall it was average 3 star ...not a 4 star and definitely way overpriced. (We were there during Spring Break) Perhaps low season is way better prices. Cute but would not stay there again.

We didn't get the villa we had reserved/ paid for. The gardens have real potential, the pool is nice, parking secure and the staff great! Breakfast was a typical but a bit disappointing buffet. Dinners however were a pure waste of money - you're better off getting a sandwich or snacks at the pool. The place looks like it had had its day and slowly over the years deteriorating. The gardens under maintained and especially away from the reception and restaurant just kind of junky and weedy looking. Building aren't kept up very well - real potential, over priced for condition, and again the restaurant is a waste - eat out.
