I had the pleasure of staying at the Amistad over the Thanksgiving Holiday and I can tell you it was nothing short of a great stay.

Hotel La Amistad is located on the main street in La Fortuna. The rooms are set back from the street, so it is quiet. The rooms are simple, clean, and inexpensive, with hot water showers, and some have AC. I noticed a tour group of italian tourists checked in, but most of the guests were ticos. The hotel is family... more
