    The curtains in our room let in a fair amount of light, perfect for early risers but some blackout curtains or blinds would go down well. Our room

    Lovely hot springs on site, beautiful garden full of nature. Amazing view of the volcano. Nice breakfast and friendly staff.

    I loved it!

    I love being surrounded by nature, surrounded by all the beautiful plants and wildlife. It rained during my stay, which made it more magical. The view of the arenal volcano is right there. I only had breakfast there, which was really fresh and didn't seem processed. LOVED LOVED LOVED the mineral hot springs. It's a great option, being that it's right on site. The springs look murky only because of the minerals they contain. They pump it fresh with new water every morning. I plan on staying here again in the future.

    Nothing really to complain about. We would return again.

    The setting, location respectively at Kokoro Hotel is amazing. Seeing the Arenal Volcano in all its glory literally from the bed was an amazing experience. The natural „gardens“ and forests around the property are wonderful. One can spot birds and other animals by walking around. We also enjoyed the hot springs even though the waterfall was not working. Kokoro Hotel has got a very good value for money product on offer.

    I would say there isn't anything we didn't like. They offer alcoholic drinks like mojitos, but they are not good. If you are going to offer a mojito, make it with fresh mint, limes, sugar... Muddle it... Use rum and club soda. This tasted like it was a canned mojito cocktail drink poured into a glass. Also, we are dinner in their restaurant one night... The food was average. Other than that, everything was wonderful and it is a great place to stay.

    The property is beautiful. The gardens are gorgeous. We saw so many different types of birds on the property. At night, we saw many types of frogs around the pond, too. The hot springs are very relaxing and pretty. The staff are wonderful as well.

    There is an unnecessary (as there is also a normal lock that we get the key for) spring-loaded dead bolt on the balcony door, which locked me onto the balcony. The airconditioner also stopped working at one point but was swiftly dealt with by staff

    Lovely helpful staff, hot springs on site, sloths and armadillos etc on hotel premises, large rooms.

    The bed was soft and uncomfortable. the pillows so soft The curtain so light . They changed it with another light one !!! Toilet paper cheap quality Breakfast very basic ! No variety . We asked if we can use the hot springs for half an hour after 9. We had a massage, and we were trying to get to the hotel fast to enjoy the hot spring at night . But we got a No !! 1st experience in La fortuna . I won t book this hotel again . We r not picky, but we like quality .

    The location was great . Close to downtown la fortuna . The Nature was awesome . A lots of trees and cute birds . The size of the room was good however the quality of everything was poor .

    This was our second stay at Hotel Kokoro and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to my memory but it didn't disappoint. We had a lovely spacious cabin with the biggest and most comfortable bed I have ever slept in. The staff are friendly and helpful, the breakfast is one of the best I have had in Costa Rica, the pool was lovely and I enjoyed time in the hot spprings. We will book again next time we visit.

    The grounds are beautiful. We had a sloth encounter that was the highlight of our stay. The rooms are “rustic” . Hot water was inconsistent, but it’s hot in CR, so who needs that much hot water? The AC struggled in the daytime to keep the room cool. Very cool at night though. Beds are just the right firmness. Location was amazing. Woke up to volcano views every day. The staff was exceedingly kind. The linens smelled SUPER clean. If you are looking to see la Fortuna on a budget this is the spot. Breakfast was included and was delightful.
