Beautiful place for a couple.
Enjoyed our overnight stay here. Absolutely beautiful design. Convenient location though it could really benefit from a sign near the road. Took us a few attempts to locate the entrance in the dark but once we did they whole property was a lovely surprise of beautiful design. Extremely comfortable bed and pillows! American and Dutch couple! Fairly private as well which was nice.

Bauma - an excellent boutique hotel in La Fortuna
What a fantastic hotel. Truly enjoyed our stay at Bauma. The grounds and incredibly well maintained and the hotel is clean and beautifully constructed and maintained. The staff was very friendly and welcoming. They were super responsive via WhatsApp from the moment we booked throughout our stay. The location is super convenient and safe!!

Outstanding!
Beautiful facilities, relaxing atmosphere, modern decor, comfortable beds, and great location. This was much nicer than even the most expensive hotels we have stayed in. You get a feeling of privacy, which you never have in a hotel.

The property feels brand new. It has the feel of a very nice AirBNB without any of the drawbacks you usually see these days.
BAUMA has excellent housekeeping and responsive service for whatever issues arise. The villa was comfortable and spacious. The private pool was large enough for our family of four to enjoy every evening with Arenal peeking just past the greenery privacy walls. The design and utility of the space is perfect. My kids preferred the hotel to most activities we did in the Fortuna/Arenal area.

Stayed here for 3 nights (2 adults 4 year old toddler). The loft was very clean and I would stay here again. We didn’t have a car so we took a lot of Ubers into Downtown La Fortuna (price ranges from $3-6 USD each way, depending on surge pricing).

Property was beautiful, room was beautiful. I loved everything about it. You do need a vehicle to drive places but we had that so it's wasn't a big deal.

We rented the loft and it was exactly as described. It was a conveniently allocated about a 5 minute drive or Uber to La Fortuna. We enjoyed drinking our morning coffee on the upstairs deck and coming home after hiking to use our private jacuzzi.

Beautiful minimalistic Gem
Very comfortable, the house has great looks and very modern. The parking was a little tight, but it’s sufficient for the apartment complex. Location is a little far from town, but is great for the ones that want to have their own peaceful retreat. The amenities of the place were really nice, made it our rainy visit very pleasant.

Loft was beautiful and brand new! You feel very secluded, but only an 8 minute walk to the Main Street for dinning and coffee options. The grounds are lush and well maintained. The patio with private (clean) hot tub feels like your own oasis. Awesome rainfall shower. I
absolutely loved this place. Mini kitchen with hot plate, fridge and coffee maker also. Easy
parking. Definitely stay here!

Enjoyed our stay at BAUMA. Celeste generously upgraded us to the Villa, as we were traveling with another couple and the room we had originally booked was not available. We loved having the common space to gather. Location is close to all of the sites in La Fortuna/Arenal.

Great place!
We took a chance on a new, mostly unreviewed place and didn’t regret it. Beautiful spot. We booked a Villa, and the beds and pillows were so comfortable, the room was incredibly clean, and any questions/needs you have are taken care of with a WhatsApp message. It’s an easy 5 minute drive into town for meals, and there is a small grocery store right down the street. Couldn’t ask for a better location.

Beautiful property! Stayed in the villa with another couple and thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Private parking lot, nice staff, modern decor with lovely furnishings (inside and out), pool and landscaping, bonus washer/dryer in unit. Great for two couples or family. Could not have asked for a better start to our trip. Highly recommend!
