We had a great stay at Noah’s Forest. The entire property is very well designed with beautiful landscaping throughout. Our room was well designed and the bed was great. We particularly enjoyed our private hot tub. The onsite restaurant is also good and we really enjoyed the live music that they had on one of the evenings of our stay. The staff were all extremely nice and eager to help. The location was great too as it was close and a quick Uber ride away from downtown la fortuna. We would definitely stay here again. Thank you for the hospitality!
