“Tranquil oasis in Fortuna”
Liked: Bauma is designed so beautifully. We loved the private hot tub in the garden that was so peaceful. And the added viewing deck is such a lovely added touch. It had a small kitchen that offered everything needed to prepare our morning breakfast. The shower open to the outside just along the edge was so cool! Very easy to get to restaurants and the tourist spots. We walked to breakfast at Red Frog Restaurant one morning. Highly recommend!
Disliked: N/A

“Beautiful design and view, convenient location.”
Liked: Really innovative design and lovely interior/exterior. Located very close to town, the waterfall, etc. Great view of Arenal from the small patio on the back of each unit! We also saw a Toucan on the property - the only one we saw during our 2 weeks in CR!
Disliked: A little closer to town than I expected. Literally a quarter mile from the main road and a supermarket. Makes it very convenient, but I would have preferred to drive a little farther to get slightly more isolation. Also there is no common pool.and the entrance and exit is quite narrow for driving in and out. Felt about right for $300 a night, but not a great deal relative to other stays in CR.

“I can't wait to return!”
Liked: Dear Bauma Boutique Hotel Team, I wanted to send a heartfelt thank you for the incredible stay you provided for my husband and me. From the moment we arrived, we felt so warmly welcomed, and it was clear how much care and thought has gone into every aspect of the experience. The little details truly meant the world to us and made our time there feel extra special. They did not go unnoticed and added so much to the overall atmosphere of the hotel. As someone who loves architecture and design, I also wanted to share how much I appreciated the beautiful design of the rooms. The attention to detail, the aesthetic choices, and the overall ambiance were simply stunning. Our stay has certainly been a memorable one, and we are very grateful for the experience. Thank you again for such wonderful hospitality. Warmest regards, Shanell C

“Beautifully designed boutique hotel”
Liked: The design of the exterior and interior is exquisite. Bathroom is very cool. Patio, jacuzzi area very private and beautiful. Kitchen nicely appointed. Just what you need. Very clean and modern
Disliked: The lighting is the real weakness. Interior lights at night are harsh overheads only, with no individual lights by the bed. No dimmers, no lamps. Im extra sensitive to lighting, so this was a problem for Me
