the property was amazing, the gardens were just beautiful, the back of our cabin was like being in the middle of the rain forest. the best part was that we could walk to the river and enjoy a little swim.

The family that tends to the cabin was so kind. It is very helpful to speak a bit of Spanish, but they do they’re best if you don’t. There was a nice breakfast for $5/person that we enjoyed while watching the many birds out front at the reception area, and having a completely private cabin with a back porch overlooking the garden was very nice.

good value, sweet family run business
This was a sweet place out of the main Fortuna area, but still quite close. My only complaint was we expected at least one stove burner for a little cooking. The people are super-sweet. Breakfast was adequate. Nice gardens and walk down to the river. Quiet.

Great little place to stay. The setting is very beautiful and it feels remote even though this is quite close to La Fortuna town, La Fortuna waterfall and Cerro Chato. The breakfast at the Cabina was also a great example of a typical breakfast. Highly recommended!

8/10 Very good

These little cabins were very clean, some newly renovated. Amenities were a little lacking, like there was no safe or AC, however there was a refrigerator, a kitchenette as well as a porch overlooking the river with a hammock. table and chairs to enjoy the afternoon. Breakfast was supplied for an additional $5 per person that was homemade and delicious. Our host was also a bit of a bird whisperer, having made friends with a local humming bird that felt comfortable enough to land on his hand. All-in-all, it was a nice place to stay, near the volcanic area and reasonable in price.

Great location and beautiful environment
My family (two adults and 2 teenagers) had a nice stay at Cabinas La Catarata. The cabin has a balcony with a great view of the river and the surrounding forest. Tranquil environment!

Wonderful bird-watching!
Toucans and parrots and many other birds appeared on the trees viewed from the kitchenette/balcony. The sounds from the trees and the cataracts below were very refreshing. We could experience the outdoors even on the day it was raining.

Fantastic Little Cabins!
Really fantastic little cabins! An amazing value. Rustic with modern bathroom and some appliances. Excellent hosts. Helpful and efficient. Loved the cabins and the scenery, flora, birds, environment completely enchanting :) It does help to speak a little Spanish, but not necessary.

Comforts of being at home in the jungle
A beautiful surrounding and peaceful sleep with only the rush of the river in the background. Close to town, but far enough from the hustle and bustle. Friendly and eager to please family run accommodation. The breakfast is a great deal with beautiful bird feeding as your morning entertainment. I can't say enough about how we loved our stay and would come back anytime. As well as recommend this to our friends.

Decent location, good pool
The pool and the free breakfast were probably the best parts out of our stay, the restaurant workers spoke a little English but not much. We went to the restaurant for supper, their chef is originally from Italy and hand cut the pasta noddles. The casino part of the hotel is under renovations and their gym is a little old/rusty but I was still able to get a good workout in there. If we ever travel back to Liberia, we will definitely stay here again.

+ The family running the place is so friendly and accommodating. They have a large grassy area where kids can play, and they have a little trail on their property. My children enjoyed picking fruit from their trees and watching the birds all around the property. - The room could use some updating, and it wasn‘t as clean as we would have liked. WiFi was spotty.

Good location for all La Fortuna activities.
Great family running the place that is very willing to help. Breakfast makes you feel at home. Cabins don't have A/C but they cool off in the evenings quick. Stay here if you don't want the spa package and swim up pool but are more interested in local flavor and activities around Arenal.

Beautiful location right next to the river
Our stay here was exactly what we wanted - very friendly staff, very clean and spacious rooms, and only the sounds of the river and wildlife. The hammock on the balcony overlooking the river was the perfect spot to relax.

Our cabin smelt like urine.
La Fortuna is overpriced so its good value if you are OK with a rustic setting (lots of bugs). Smelt of urine from bathroom. Was clean but probably needed repairs/ renos in bathroom. Kitchen lacked ...no stove top. Had a great balcony.

Excellent place!
Customer service was absolutely excellent. This is privately owned and the owners live on the premises. The elderly lady and man both song speak English so it makes it hard to communicate if you don't know Spanish, but they both are wonderful and friendly and do the best to help you with your needs. Their adult son knows excellent English and he is extremely helpful and nice. They truly make you feel safe and comfortable. I was a fiest time solo traveller and felt totally safe here. The son even took me to town a few times which was very nice. For the price this place is excellent. It's far enough from town to feel secluded and truly on Vacation but close enough to get to town for food and groceries. The grounds are beautiful and well kept with beautiful scenery of Arenal Volcano and a river near by. I hardly seen any of the other guest and the place is quiet. The room is basic but has everything you need. Just be warned the rooms are warm and there's no A.C. just a fan that to me didn't work well, but I was gone all day anyways so it didn't matter to me or bother me, it was cool enough at night to sleep comfortably. The was enough outlets to charge all my devices as well. They cleaned the room everyday and gave new towels everyday. I'd definitely return here for a future trip.

Great Lodge, great stay!
We had booked to 2 rooms (as offered on Hotel.com website) for 3 people, but when we arrived we realized that 'room' actually meant 'cabin' and that one cabin would be perfect for the 3 of us; the owner was very helpful and immediately agreed that we could only rent one cabin; this was successfully confirmed with Hotel.com. The owners of this property were very helpful, very accommodation and the cabin was great. Excellent breakfast on the outdoor patio. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at La Catarata as it was also very close to the centre of La Fortuna. I can strongly recommend this lodge and we all would definitely stay there again given the opportunity.
