We booked a room upstairs and it was fabulous. Very well-maintained, spacious and clean room. We sat early each morning and drank our coffee and watched the birds start their day.
Staff were super friendly and helpful. Gabi was amazing for suggestions of food and tours too!
Breakfast is a 2-3 minute walk away at an eco spot which does not disappoint! They put food out for the animals and you can watch them while you enjoy fresh fruit, local coffee and great eggs or traditional breakfast.
Highly recommend Fortuna Retreat

Beautiful property surrounded by lush greenery and tropical foliage, with an amazing view of the volcano. The staff were helpful, responsive, and easy to reach throughout our stay.

We had a great stay at Fortuna Retreat. Only notes would be that the room could be a bit cleaner (in the corners of the bathroom, behind furniture) and the view from the ground floor rooms is not as advertised- you can’t get a clear view of the volcano. Otherwise the staff were amazing, the pool was lovely and the grounds were extremely well kept with beautiful greenery.

Great little hotel with amazing views of Arenal volcano. We are lucky enough to see the volcano every day of our stay with amazing views from our room. It’s not a big hotel but it’s very quaint and was perfect for our stay. The staff was very responsive to any questions we had. The pool is small but nice to hang out for a little.

My stay at Fortuna Retreat in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed with their kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. They were always available to help with anything I needed and truly went above and beyond to make the experience special.

The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, creating the perfect space to relax after a day of exploring. Everything was clean, organized, and felt very peaceful.

The view was simply spectacular—waking up surrounded by nature with such breathtaking scenery made the stay unforgettable. It truly felt like a private paradise where you could fully unwind and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica.

If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent service, clean accommodations, and stunning views, Fortuna Retreat is absolutely the place for you. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful and memorable stay in paradise.

We just stayed at the Fortuna Retreat for 3 nights with our kids. We had a premium room with mountain view. I wanted to start by saying that the service was excellent even from before we reached the hotel. The communication with them was pretty fast. Thank you to Beverley and Alphonso for making our stay amazing and being very helful. For the price we paid, we just wished they had more amenities. It would have been nice to have some body cream and at least some tissues in the rooms. We didn't check properly before we booked but it would have been nice to have a king bed for the price and there was plenty of space avaliable for one.

We booked this place last minute after our previous ABNB couldn’t be extended and we are so glad we found Fortuna Retreat.

It was such a unique, new, cool spot that felt like a private luxury villa in a secluded jungle setting with an AMAZING view of Arenal volcano from your bed. We loved our room - very clean, spacious & well decorated with a huge balcony to enjoy nature and take in the surroundings.

We have to give a huge shoutout to Joel at the front desk - he was very helpful with all of our questions about the local suggestions as well as helping plan the rest of our trip at the beach. He also helped us book an amazing “all in one” tour on our last day in La Fortuna that covered everything we wanted to do in 8 hours.

Last but not least, make sure to walk down the road to Soda Tita Rosa, you won’t regret it. Easily the best meal we had in La Fortuna, at a great price, in a quiet setting off the beaten path with excellent service. We would have eaten here every meal had we found it earlier!

My all time favorite hotel in the world now! Property and room were extremely clean and the views from every point on the property are amazing. The front desk and other attendants were attentive and always available through WhatsApp.

Breakfast is $9/day and limited to 3 options + fruit so I would suggest going outwards for food and there is none at the property. Ubers to town are around $3-4USD but there is a little store within walking distance for snacks and water (as the property sells neither).

Our stay was wonderful although the restaurant is not onsite walking to the restaurant was just a few mins (2-3 mins) which was wonderful and made sense since the restaurant has a beautiful location where one can watch birds and take a walk for free, or pay for a tour and go watch other birds and have a tour guide walk you through the place. The retreat is nearby La For tuna and many food options which I highly recommend trying several Soda places which are where locals go to eat.

Fortuna retreat was beautiful. The grounds were amazing. You’re close enough that you can walk to a small market or in the first small town to grab dinner. Fortuna is only 2 km away and there’s so many things to go see and explore in the town. We recommend Terra Mia restaurant. The eco lodge down the road where you eat breakfast has an amazing butterfly enclosure you can visit and a small trail around the property

The perfect getaway

Fantastic accommodation - we stayed in one of the villas with a pool, which was very reasonably priced for what you get. Everything was perfect - lovely outdoor space with a wee pool to cool off, comfy bed with a great view of the Arenal volcano and a huge bathroom that felt outdoors due to the floor to ceiling windows. Staff were very lovely and full of recommendations for the local area. Breakfast at a nearby hotel was simple but tasty and ideal to get you started for the day. All in all the perfect getaway to discover all of the amazing things to do in and around Fortuna. Thank for a great stay!

The bathroom and shower are luxurious. Staff are very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast just a 2 minute walk to the neighbouring hotel is decent, enough to fill you up for the morning, and you can bird watch as you eat, as you are surrounded by nature. There is also a nice restaurant (soda) just around the corner. We loved our stay there.

Cute stay, but better options available

Hotel was clean and grounds maintained but it’s small. Limited parking and an extremely small “common area” that was more of a break room for the employees with limited amenities. Didn’t use the community pool since we had our own plunge pool in our villa. Water in the shower didn’t get too hot, but was spacious. Amazing view of the volcano was the best part of the place.

Avoid the restaurant they send you to for breakfast, you can find way better and way cheaper options by driving down to another Soda. We loved La Hormiga.

Overall a good affordable find as long as you aren’t looking for a hotel with many amenities.
