Perched high above the Catarata Río Fortuna, this ‘wellbeing resort’ is great for birders and frog-lovers – especially with a naturalist on hand to point out specimens. The rooms are fairly plain, but comfortable. The ‘wellness’ comes in with spa services, a garden, a yoga space and a vegetarian restaurant. Spring for a superior with a balcony if you can.
At the La Fortuna waterfall parking lot, turn right up the unpaved drive. Top range villas come with their own pool.
