Tranquil La Fortuna Retreat

Our stay at Casa Colibri was absolutely wonderful with plenty of room for our family to stretch out and a beautiful pool and gorgeous property. Our hosts were very accommodating. Everything was super clean and we had a wonderful experience taking small adventures and coming back to relax at this beautiful home. We especially loved the pool and terrace where we sat and played games each night as a family. The caretaker brought us to visit a sloth on the property and we were invited to walk the lovely grounds. We had a wonderful experience and are looking forward to return soon!

Casa COLIBRÍ Rubi

Wonderful accommodations and great location. The kids felt like royalty and were so impressed with the house and the pool. We drove into La Fortuna daily for restaurants and wandering and did a bunch of activities as well. Nothing was more than a 20 minute drive.

Multi-generation stay

We had a great experience at this property! It’s nestled in the lush country. I was impressed with how clean the property was, and the groundsman kept the outdoors in great shape. He even showed us a sloth on property.My son left an important item, and the owner coordinated a driver to drive it 3 hours to Tamarindo.Communication and check in was easy. We would stay here again!

Best stay in Lafortuna

Arnaldo has one of the best properties you’ll find in Costa Rica. A gated property with fully furnished homes, heated pools & sloths on property. Every morning was a delight to wake up to see Toucans & macaws floating around & that early morning coolness. Wonderful stay!!

Great Stay

This property is wonderful, there are other houses on the property but they are all very private. The groundskeeper showed us where the local sloth was each morning. We saw a ton of toucans one day they were so fun to watch. Having the pool right out the back door is wonderful. Need a car as it’s a bit out of townwatch.

Beautiful property and great for families

The property was beautiful and secure. The home was amazing and cannot say enough about the pool. The groundskeeper showed us sloths every morning. The house is a little bit outside of La Fortuna (15 minutes) but we were ok with that. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay!

Fantastic stay in fortuna

What a beautiful property. The pool was warm and magical. The beds were so comfortable. Lots of warm water. Not within walking distance of town, but the magic of the place was a fine trade-off.

Beautiful Property

We loved the home and property. The home is well stocked with everything you need for your stay. The outdoor area is beautiful with a lovely pool and landscaping. Arnaldo responded quickly to any of our questions. On our last morning, the groundskeeper came to get us to show us the 2 sloths in the trees at the back of the property! We also booked the chefs for our last breakfast and they were amazing! Great experience.

Sloth watching from the Pool!

Great place, Louis, the grounds keeper, told us on day one there were 3 sloths on the property. He took us around and we got great footage. We could watch one each day from the pool/patio area. The house was great. Only down side was its little trek to LaFortuna, but I would highly recommend.

Beautiful villa outside of la Fortuna

Very nice accommodations. Everything was clean and in good working condition. It was just as advertised. The added bonus was that Luis who came to clean the pool every day also took the time to show us sloths, toucans and other wildlife on the property. We would not have seen them on our own. Really enjoyed our stay!!!

An Unforgettable Retreat in the Heart of Costa Rica

Our stay at this VRBO home in Casa Colibri, La Fortuna was simply unforgettable. Nestled in the lush, serene landscape of Costa Rica, this property offered us the perfect blend of comfort, privacy, and natural beauty. From the moment we arrived, we felt immersed in the true spirit of Costa Rica. The home itself was immaculate, spacious, and thoughtfully decorated, capturing a warm and welcoming ambiance. One of the highlights was the outdoor area—lush gardens, a refreshing pool, and even a cozy sitting area where we enjoyed morning coffee with the sounds of nature all around. The host went above and beyond to ensure our stay was comfortable, with prompt communication and fantastic local recommendations. The location was ideal for exploring nearby attractions. From hiking to waterfalls to sampling incredible local cuisine, everything was easily accessible. We couldn’t have asked for a better home base for our Costa Rica adventure. We’re already looking forward to our next visit! Highly recommend this home to anyone looking to experience Costa Rica at its finest.

La Fortuna Vacation

We spent 5 wonderful nights at Casa COLIBRÍ. The house is very nice and would highly recommend. We loved the nightly visit from host pup Lulu and her friends. Luis showed us Sloths on the property every day, saw more on Property than we did at Sloth Park. Had great ATV adventures, Sky Adventure with zipline and hanging bridges in the area.

Beautiful retreat!

We drove from Tamarindo up to La Fortuna and unfortunately, I did not open the documents before we left so I was having a really hard time finding any information about how to check in. Luckily the host was very quick to respond and helped us getting clear directions and even offered to guide us into the property. won

Costa Rican adventure getaway

Casa Colibri is an amazing place to stay. The host is very friendly, responsive, informative, & friendly. The house is very clean, well appointed, comfortable & has plenty of room. The bathrooms are exceptional. The access is easy at both the gate & the door. The pool was very clean & super enjoyable. The patio was a great place to hangout. The location was very private & secure. One of the gentlemen taking care of the place even took time to come get us and show us a sloth up in a nearby tree which was very cool to see & very thoughtful of him to take his time to help us enjoy the local wildlife. We definitely plan to stay here again & we would recommend it to everyone.
