I stayed here for two nights on a Caravan Tour in January, 2007, and most of our group really liked these little bungalows. I can see that Fortuna is a booming resort town with several really nice, new hotels, but having just come from a remote jungle lodge we were happy to stay on the outskirts of town in this semi-rural setting. Each little cabin has its own veranda with two rocking chairs, and we enjoyed just kicking back after a long bus ride, and sitting by the pool at the bar during happy hour. Chickens with chicks patrolled the grounds, as well as some friendly parrots and a friendly cat. Forget the alarm clock—the roosters do a good job in the morning. The cabins had nice, tropical hardwood, and were very nice in their rustic way. One warning—there are two steps down to the bathroom, so keep a light on or risk injury from a lurching step into the darkness during the night. My only complaint is that the light in the bathroom is too dim, as is the main room, because there are no proper windows—just a narrow strip of louvered glass on each side and top of where there should be a window, with solid wall in the middle. It was socked in there, as is common, but if it was clear and Arenal Volcano was erupting, it would be a real disadvantage not being able to see it from your window at night.

This is one of four hotels we stayed in as part of our Caravan tour - and the only one I would not willingly return to. We were in one of the older cabins which was close to the highway (and gas station) and noisy from bus fumes and the restaurant. I think the newer units would give a better experience - but with all the construction going on - they would be noisy too. Grin and bear it is my advice.

Stayed for four nights in april. The hotel is the worst i stayed in during my holiday in costa rica. Half the hotel is being developed and i had to put up with hammering, sawing and shouting work men starting at 6:30 am! I told the management i wasnt happy about this and no one seemed to care. The pool was also dirty and the pool side chairs rusty. It is also right by a busy main road and peterol station. I am not the sort of person who would write a hotel report but i felt quite strongly about my negative experience here. Could not recommend it. Avoid.

We returned from a 10 day Caravan tour where we stayed 2 nights at Las Cabanitas. The trip was great, but this is the only place we would not return to stay. The cabins are quaint and comfortable. Few of the desk staff spoke Englsih, which was a problem at times. Internet service did not work at all while we were there. There really isn't a social gathering place, particularly if there are large groups as they have to serve meals in two sittings to accomodate everyone. The only "lounge" is a small stand up bar in the restaurant area - no where to sit or gather. This sounds picky, but the tablecloths were not changed from one group to the next and there were times when the group before us was rather messy and I'm sure we were also. (We are used to camping and are not picky people, but this was actually a little gross at times.) The resort did not want us to run a tab or pay with a credit card, so we had to pay with cash, which was not expected. The food was good (buffet) although the waitress we had during our stay was very rude to nearly everyone in our group and we were rushed. It is within walking distance of town, which was nice. They have an older pool which is in need of updating, but was a nice escape from the heat. They are constructing new cabins and several in our group were stuck in cabins at the end and the only view they had was of construction sites. Laundry service did a very nice job and was very convenient.
