Overall it was a beautiful property, clean and great location to volcano. Unfortunately our AC unit wasn’t working and made a very loud noise all night long so we couldn’t sleep. We were offered $30 for the inconvenience which I did not feel was appropriate for no sleep, no AC with two small children in tow. The manager was “in a meeting” so we weren’t able to resolve any further before we left.

We loved our stay at El Silencio! Conveniently located to everything in La Fortuna area. Room was spacious and bed was very comfortable. Breakfast was good and included in price. We also enjoyed one dinner on the property which was also good. Hot springs weren’t large like Tabacon but multiple pools in lush setting and only for hotel guests which was lovely. We paid for a day pass to Tabacon hot springs but really didn’t need to. Loved the farm on the property. Very eco-friendly. Great place for couples and families. Would definitely stay here again! Highly recommend.

I can't rate this property highly enough. The grounds are stunning and beautifully maintained. Each room is an individual tiny house/cabin with AC that cools it perfectly. The decor is typical Costa Rican. There are thermal pools (and a regular pool) on property, which are incredible to relax the muscles after a long day full of excursions. The drinks and food by the thermal pools were great; we enjoyed dinner there twice during our stay. Breakfast is included each morning; options were great and the fresh fruit and juice simply delicious. It is about an 8 min drive to downtown La Fortuna - perfect to avoid the traffic and bustle but still make it easy to head downtown for dinner. The treat for us was the small farm on the property: everything from a vegetable garden to a pig, horses, cows, chickens, sheep, goats, peacocks and more. My teenagers LOVED it (and they're not impressed by much these days). We were even treated to a sloth and it's baby in one of the trees behind our cabin. The staff was simply amazing and accommodating every step of the way. Highly recommend this hotel; we would certainly stay again if we return to Costa Rica. 10/10.

Very cozy cabins per family. 3 Hot Springs were quiet and not busy. The farm with animals and garden with vegetables were great for children. The staff was excellent. They helped us with all our excursions. Highly recommend this quiet hotel.

We loved this hotel. Unlike some of the bigger resorts, this place has only 24 cabins and ~5 pools, so a good ratio! Friendly staff. Immaculately clean. Great gallo pinto and fresh fruit for breakfast. The kids also loved the farm - milking the cow, collecting eggs, and visiting with the gardener.

Beautiful place to stay for Families. Nice clean rooms and bathrooms. Welcome drink was served. Breakfast was great. Staff was quick to respond.
Beautiful view of the Volcano.
Animals on their farm is a great addition for families to enjoy some activities in the morning like milking the cow, horse riding and chicken coop. Does have a hot spring and a pool.

Wonderful staff, very clean and a lot of fun stuff for kids to do like milk a cow, ride a horse, collect eggs from chickens, jump on a trampoline, swim in the pool. It's also a great place to enjoy the hot springs and jacuzzi with a drink that's next to the bar. My room had a great view of the volcano. A special thanks to one of front desk receptionist, Leon, who went out of his way to help me retrieve an item I forgot at my last hotel. Leon and the rest of the staff make the hotel very special place to visit.
