Lands in Love Hotel and Resort

I was fortunate that they had a room available on short notice when I decided to leave another place that I didn't like because it had no birds. This place is quite the opposite and I was able to add quite a few to my lifer list. The main building itself is showing its age and is a bit musty from the high humidity over the years, but I guess that's expected. The rooms are sort of scattered around in buildings in which some are more accessible than others. The one I had was good, with 2 fans and a small sitting area in the back to watch "things" go by. I love taking pictures & the moths and bugs in the evening and mornings were interesting. The pool looked fine, but I did not use it. The restaurant is vegan and I thought it might be an interesting experience, but while the food was ample and very well prepared I was happy to get back to my regular routine again after 4 days. Service was OK, but sometimes being the only one there, I had to knock on the kitchen door to get attention, which was better when more folks were around. There is only a one way road in & out so driving around the property is not too easy. There are lots of trails, only a few of which I explored because I found the lagoon to be the best and easiest place to photograph birds, and I saw many that I had not seen before, like Laughing Falcons and Green Ibis for example. I guess the only issue I had was with the very narrow access roads to the rooms. On one occasion I had to get some people to guide me past a parked truck, but to their credit the staff got the owner to move it shortly after I complained. I guess the roads were made when everyone had smaller cars.

i stayed at this hotel in december 2024. i can’t even describe in words how bad this hotel was. to be honest it shouldn’t even be called a “hotel”. this place was a true dumpster, the room was absolutely disgustingly dirty, bugs EVERYWHERE, wet mattresses, no sheets, no room for our luggage’s, bug infested walls, showers were very dirty, the sink wouldn’t turn on, i could go on forever with how many things were wrong with this dumpster. there was also a dog shelter right next to this place and the whole entire area was reeking of strong dog pee. even while we were eating in the restaurant( which had spiders everywhere and horrible food) you could still smell strong dog pee. it was also incredibly far so there wasn’t any options for food. i would absolutely not recommend this hotel to anybody.

Lovely place in the liftoff the forest.clean comfy rooms. Not fancy. Friendly staff and incredible vegan food. In residence exotic ducks. A little dog barking as they are a rescue center. It is about an hour drive from some of the tourist attractions in la fortuna. Close to rafting/ zip lining and other adventures
