Rancho Cerro Azul

We traveled to La Fortuna June 2024 and were so happy to have found this gem of a hotel! The individual cabins are located among a lush, tropical landscape making it feel as if your cabin is the only one there! The pictures on their website appear old as the landscape is now fully grown making the other cabins almost impossible to view due to how big and lush the landscaping was. The reception are/restaurant are also different than in the website pictures and are open-air with beautiful views of the surrounding rainforest. Our cabin (#8) was perfect and the views from our back porch were amazing! We also had a private hot tub behind our room (which was very private, and surrounded by the same lush, tropical landscaping all around the hotel). The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom was great with plenty of storage for our clothes, a safe, hairdryer, etc. we also had a small fridge, microwave, dishes/utensils, and coffeemaker. There is also a trail through the jungle which leads down to the crystal clear cool waters of a beautiful river. We saw all sorts of wildlife on the property while on the trail (as well as from our back porch). The restaurant food was very good and the hotel staff were very responsive and accommodating. We did not have a vehicle but there are two restaurants within walking distance as well as a small convenience store. Cab and Uber drivers were easy to access and not very expensive. We were offered a voucher for complementary drinks at the on-site bar as well as one complimentary breakfast. We would definitely stay here agin!

Hotel Cerro Azul was gorgeous. My friends and I spent a few nights at the hotel for our friend’s birthdays. Such a beautiful place to stay! The staff was friendly and accommodating to any requests we had. We went to the bar and had both breakfast and dinner at the hotel and the food was delicious. Within walking distance of the hotel there were places to visit and explore. A great chance to get to know the locals. The hotel was also a perfect destination if you’re looking to do tours, like the volcano tour, zip lining, or a chocolate tour as it was a hub for bus pick up if you do not have your own car. The cabins were clean and comfortable. Plenty of space for what we needed! We all felt at home whether it was because of the staff or just the overall atmosphere! If you’re looking to book a trip, I can’t recommended this place enough!

Great place to stay with plenty of birds around and if you are lucky like us, you will see howler monkey around early in the morning. It is very close to many area attractions. We had the family suite for 4 of us (2 adults and 2 teenagers) and it was perfect. Kevin, one of the staff, is very friendly. The only reason I couldn’t give 5 was because the TV didn’t work and they couldn’t fix it. But other than that everything else was good. Breakfast is $10 per person and I wish they have more options (only 4 options available).

We stayed at rancho cerro azul as a family of four for a few days in April 2024. We were thoroughly pleased with everything. The cabin was spacious, well proportioned, and with everything we needed for our stay. The grounds were beautiful and the trail that is part of the estate simply amazing - very well maintained and with plenty of wildlife (for its size) as well as amazing vegetation. Finally, the staff were friendly and helpful. Overall, we had a great stay and would definitely stay again.

Nice large cabin with A/C. Perfect spot in la Fortuna. Had to take an uber to the town most nights but this is a really good spot to stay. (Ubers were cheap) Breakfast was good and there is a really nice restaurant/grocery store down the street. Only issue with this hotel is its really noisy at night from the wild life. But thats part of the experience. Good spot and well priced

Had an excellent stay at Rancho Cerro Azul. Isaac and Kevin were fabulous hosts - incredibly helpful at organizing our tours and making us feel welcome at their beautiful resort. The Ginger Bar on the property was adorable - we played a rowdy game of jenga and had cocktails under the night-lit tiki hut. The rooms were clean and comfortable, the breakfast delicious. The restaurant down the road El Chante Verde was excellent, as well as the pupusa spot. Nearby souvenir spot for locally made pottery and wood bowls, and the chocolate tour also up the road. Would highly recommend and would definitely come back. Thank you Rancho Cerry Azul for being so welcoming!

Excellent location, with car about 5 minutes to town and quite a few attractions, including La Fortuna Falls and Bogarin Trail. The room was very spacious and clean, the property landscape is beautiful and well kept to attract all kinds of birds, there is a short trail in the property that takes you to the river side, very peaceful Family owned and operated, we met two incredible young men, Isaac and Kevin, very respectful, courteous and responsible, my compliments to them. will definitely go back. thanks

The grounds were stunning! The staff was very friendly. A family owned/operated place. Restaurants right down the road were delicious. Only breakfast is offered here. We visited a restaurant a few doors down that was fantastic. The rooms were like small homes. Ours had 2 bedrooms a kitchen and a very large patio with hammocks to lounge in. It was a nice stay.

We enjoyed our stay. However, I was not happy as the hotel was offering a 10% discount if we pay by cash. This seemed strange as credit card companies don’t charge as much margin. Felt like we were being over charged for paying with credit card.
