This place is gorgeous! It is a place that is out of the way and out of the tourist-trap atmosphere of La Fortuna. If you want a genuine Costa Rican experience, stay here! We were there in Nov. 08, and the only other guests were Costa Ricans. This is a place they go on vacation. The staff speak little English,... more

This hotel is a bit out of the way of the typical La Fortuna circuit, which didn't bother us at all--the grounds are gorgeous. We were almost the only people staying there at the time (we think there might have been one other couple), which made it very private, and given the enormous, lush property, that made for some very... more

Hotel is nice and grounds are pretty. Food is very good and staff very friendly and accomodating. Rooms are clean, but spartan, with no TV or telephone. Dial up Internet is available at the office. more

Beautiful!

La Garza is a beautiful hotel located about 25 min outside of La Fortuna. The staff are great and the property is well maintained. There are many animals to be seen on the property, you just have to look. The rooms are basic, but clean. Breakfast is wonderful, typical Costa Rican, although they also have pancakes. Everyone in our group... more

Our stay at La Garza was far exceeded our expectations. This place is a working horse ranch complete with it's own dairy. The staff provided excellent service and given our inability to speak Spanish, they were very accommodating in their attempts at communicating with us in English. The rooms are clean and the grounds are very well tended to. The... more

We will second the positives being said on this place. The setting is beautiful, with gorgeous birds, butterflies, and flowers abounding. The service is great and the ambience relaxing. The working ranch gives it a "real life" feel. The horseback ride is a highlight. The food was basic, but it was served with care at very reasonable prices, so we... more

We stayed at La Garza for 3 nights with our four children in two bungalows. Price was very resonable at around $80 per bungalow. The grounds are beautiful and very well maintained. Pool was very nice and there was even a small play area for the kids. The food was great and staff fabulous. They even offered to babysit for... more

There is thus far only one other review of this hotel so I will write as much as I can. This hotel was an excellent value - cheaper than most in the area (we paid $60/night even though it was high season) and it offered many things that other hotels didn't. Like a suspension bridge over a river with crocodiles... more
