Brisas del Volcan BnB

The house was exactly as advertised. The beds were comfortable and the showers had great water pressure. They supplied the basics needed. Great view. The location is perfect. You are 5 minutes from town so it is easily accessible to everything yet not in the hustle and bustle. Would definitely stay here again if in La Fortuna.

We had an excellent stay. Views were nice, we had a vehicle so it was close enough to the town center, yet still in a quiet area.

Joseph was a gracious host and responsive, but there are things that kept me from giving 5 stars. First the positives: The home was clean, and in a safe area. The view of the volcano was extraordinary and the balcony was great. The beds were comfortable and it was nice to find a place with so many beds so my teenagers didn't have to share. The negatives were few but consequential. When we arrived the next door neighbor was blasting music from their home. When I reached out to let Joseph know, he was apologetic and said that sometimes happens and he'd call the police if it continued after 10pm. Thankfully they turned it off around 8. I don't hold Joseph responsible for that, but think it's worth noting for future travelers, as it was loud enough to keep babies from napping in the house and certainly too loud to be outside while it was on. Where I could see improvement for the future that he can control would be to be more generous with household supplies. We were 5 people, staying 4 nights and we had one roll of paper towels, no extra trash bags, a used sponge for dishes and not enough toilet paper. So we had to purchase all those things locally. As part of the attraction of a VRBO is cooking, this was a letdown. Also, the description says a hot tub, but there is a small dipping tub, so just be aware of that. The living room was very small and very little sitting that wasn't all that comfortable. Not a dealbreaker, but worth noting. All said, it was nice stay.

We enjoyed our stay. The pool was tiny and above ground - something I didn't expect - but was clean and the kids liked it nonetheless. After we checked out is when the problems started. He tried to charge us 50.00 USD for 2 towels that he said we stole. First of all, we didn't steal any towels and didn't even have room in our bags for the stuff we purchased. We explained this to him and he would not relent. He kept trying to charge us a ridiculous amount of money for 2 towels! I'd like to give the place a good review and I would have had the owner been reasonable. Who steals towels from a BNB while on vacation? We could have purchased cool vacation-themed towels if we were that desperate.
