Staff were wonderful. The room had everything we needed including laundry facilities. The hotel was close to great restaurants and birding opportunities - including Papa’s Place and Bogarin Gardens. Thank you to everyone
Great service, very clean, and great complimentary breakfast of local cuisine daily! The hotel was very conveniently located as it was walking distance to many restaurants and a short drive into town.
The staff, in particular leyling and Kendal, we so friendly and attentive and helpful. Our room was plenty big for the two of us. Happy hour at the restaurant was a draw. And we dined there on two occasions - the food was very good.
There is a kitchen area for the guests. The pool was small but very refreshing.

Perfect smaller boutique hotel with a wonderful on site restaurant. Attentive and friendly staff. Clean rooms with personality. Pool, AC, views of Arenal, nice public areas, kitchen, and laundry. Close to shopping and restaurants.
Super lush grounds and welcoming staff who smiled and accommodated everything.
They have a communal laundry and kitchen for those who are on longer trips like us.
And, the breakfasts were huge and tasty. But it was the staff that took top prize! Well done.
Wonderful stay here. Great location. The hotel was clean and comfortable. Loved that there was a common kitchen and laundry room and outdoor seating. Staff couldn't have been more helpful. Super friendly and welcoming. Would stay here again next time without a doubt.
Very cozy and quiet hotel. Lots of green bushes and flowers right behind our window. Felt like we stayed in botanical garden. Kitchen available for convenience.
The rooms are super cute here and the restaurant attached is nice, great food. It's right outside of the busy part of Fortuna and really easy to get around walking, taxis, shuttles or rental car. If you do have your own car there's gated parking which is a great feature. Everyone was really nice and helpful.
Cute spot! Really nice, community feeling. Room was clean and tidy and had everything I needed. Pillow was comfortable! I particularly enjoyed the lounge area which made reading and relaxing while watching the rain perfect. Staff was really friendly and the pizza/pasta next door phenomenal. Easy walk into main area of La Fortuna.
This is a great location. The breakfast was delicious. It rained the whole time so we didn’t get a chance to visit the pool but it looked nice. I didn’t like the showers. No water pressure and wasn’t very warm. Overall, great value for the location!
Overall: We had a good stay here.
Cons: We got a room right next to the main road, so the noise was a constant factor.
The wifi did not work in the room and you had to go to the pool area for access.
Pros: The breakfast was very nice.
The staff was very courteous and accommodating.
You can have pizza for dinner in the same place where breakfast is served and get a discount.
Close to most attractions and lots of other dining options.
The noise problem really brings the place down. You can hear everything in neighboring rooms and every vehicle that goes down the street. The price is reasonable, the rooms themselves were fine, the staff were very helpful, and the free breakfast was good. It also has some nice common spaces.
Their staff especially Crystal, Leilin, and Kendall were very friendly, accommodating, as well as the owners, who would go over and beyond to make your stay a comfortable and a happy one. Their breakfast is served individually on your table with different selections to choose from and lots of delicious fresh fruits since they also own the Vagabondo pizzeria and pasta next to the quaint and charming one story bungalow rooms. Everything we needed was there. They also let you use their washer and dryer for free, you just need to buy your own detergent.The pool is small but always clean and so nice to sit around or just relax by the nearby lounge chairs and tables to chat or just read a book. They also have a common kitchen (if you want to cook your own food)with everything you need. I was told it’s under new management since 4 years now. It’s quaint, cute, clean, and staff are very personable and attentive to your needs.
I will highly recommend this Hotel Aure Natura if you are in La Fortuna!!!
It’s close to Arenal rafting, La Fortuna Waterfalls, Choyin Rio Termal Hotsprihgs, Arenal Mundo Aventura Ziplining, and Mistico National Park

We stayed at this property for four days. The checkin process was smooth and the staff at this hotel was excellent. As soon as we checked in the hotel, the bathroom flush was broken and the water was everywhere in the bathroom. They had someone come in and fix the issue. Again the same thing happened the next day and we had to call the service person to come in and "fix" again. The day before we checked out the hotel, staff asked us to shift our room to a different room since they were over booked and it was easy to shift us from our current room. We did oblige the request as the staff was nice and didn't have much choice and it was holiday season. Overall, the stay was okay and the staff was pleasant and the location was convenient. The management should look into fixing the property and better managing hotel bookings during the peak season.
Really friendly staff. Restaurant had great options for breakfast and dinner. Facilities were nice. Bed was a bit hard and not the most soundproof. But overall we had a great stay and I would stay here again!
