Loma Real Hotel & Hotsprings

The pools are filled with Hot natural water every day, and were great to swim in. Breakfast was fast, and tasty - home cooked, cabins were fine, jungle and the flowers and nature all around were great.

its a little off the highway, the road was a bit bumpy, unpaved, so you have to take it a little slower. would be nice to have a kettle in the room for boiling hot water for tea.

We loved the view from the pool, the hot spring water, the birds and breakfast. It was e exactly what we wanted.

The property has 4 pools that have real clean hot spring water in them. One is slightly more private, one is full sized, one slopes for wheelchair access, and one is for children. They are amazing and have well maintained bathrooms/showers nearby. This is a family owned business so you see the owners pets coming around, two dogs, and apparently a couple of peacocks too?! This location is perfect if you want to feel among the animals. Local birds and lizards pop up in the trees and you have an amazing view of the volcano when the air is clear. Saw toucans, lizards, and all sorts of tropical birds right from the pool! If you have the Uber app you can call a ride into town (like 10 minutes) for $2-$3 or they can call you a taxi. There also is a public bus that is accessible if you’re standing by the road at the right time. We tried it once; it’s a white kind of shuttle van that you pay $2-3 to ride into town. Will include a photo of the public bus schedule as one of the photos of anyone is interested.

It is a family owned business so for better or worse they really kind of leave you alone. Only Alberto, the owner’s son speaks any English so if you need to communicate anything it can be a little difficult if he’s not around. I think they they assume that you already know what you want to see in La Fortuna or assume you know how to get there as it seemed difficult to figure out how to go places without a car... One time we needed to call a taxi and couldn’t find anyone to help us call one. Instead we used Uber which turned out alright. My biggest suggestion would be that Alberto maybe has a work whatsapp number that he provides in case of any issues. We didn’t have any kind of major issue but we were wondering what we would even do if let’s say the toilet broke or something. We wouldn’t know what to do.
