This is a wonderful little hotel that is 1 block off the main busy little square of "downtown" la Fortuna but it is a little slice of paradise. It has excellent security, nice grounds, and a really tasty buffet breakfast which is the ubiquitous gallo pinto, eggs, toast, fresh fruit, etc... The pool is always well maintained and clean. I...

I stay at the San Bosco every time I go to La Fortuna. It is a fantastic value with a perfect view of the town and the volcano. The pool is nice, as is the continental breakfast and the location is perfect for walking around the town of La Fortuna.

The hotel is clean and comfortable and the staff were friendly and helpful. It is only a block from the central square in La Fortuna so it is very convenient for restaurants and other commercial services. On a clear day you can see Arenal Volcano from the front of the hotel. The hotel is very good value for the price... More

This was my second stay here in six months. I love being able to wander around the town without hopping in the car. The rooms are comfortable (but not luxurious), with good air conditioning and television. The pool and hot tub are nice and the pass-through from the neighboring smoothie place is really convenient. Breakfast is standard Tico fair with... More

We travel extensively in Costa Rica and were looking for a hotel in the center of La Fortuna so we wouldn't need to drive, but a little quiet, because the main street is very busy. This place was perfect for us. We were able to negotiate a very fair low season rate and the place was well manged. The rooms... More

This is my favorite place to stay in La Fortuna. You can see the Arenal Volcano and the cute little town is just steps away with out having to get in your car and drive. We have been staying here since 1995 and it just keeps getting better then the times before. They also include a nice breakfast out by... More

We stayed here the second day of our trip to save a little more money on hotels. The staff was lukewarm or not seen. If you want to be totally left alone, its a good place to stay. The breakfast was decent, but there was no one around to ask for anything. The location is as they say, close to... More

Thank you very much for your comments! We regret that you have had an unfavorable experience with us. We try to provide the customer, quality service for an adequate budget. It is not our intention that people feel alone in their stay, but the amount of staff we employ is relatively smaller than that used in other more budget hotels.... More

San Bosco is only a block from the park in the middle of town, with a grocery store and many restaurants just minutes away. The staff is also very helpful in booking tours, and the price is great (and includes breakfast). Rooms have individual air conditioning units as well.

Our hotel desk clerk probably over-sold description of this "adventure" in rafting. After a short ride to the river from La Fortuna, we waited around until the rafts were unloaded then inflated. We were given a short "how-to" then pushed off. The guide sat in the back, telling us when, how (hard/easy) and where (right/left) to row Since the water... More
