Excellent Costa Rican experience
Vey private sprawling resort with gorgeous landscaping full of huge rainforest plants and bromeliads, plenty of space between bungalows. Great volcano view and fun pool bar. Excellent staff. Extra spacious rooms. Interior was a bit dated and not the comfiest beds. No mini fridge. Loved the private jungle view outdoor porch and Jacuzzi tub

We loved our villa! Beautiful and serene area, close to the main town yet far enough away to feel remote. Within 10-30 minutes of everything we wanted to do there. Parking was easy and staff was very accommodating.

6/10 Good

Good: large clean bedrooms with a breathtaking view of the Arenal volcano. Many will love the bathrooms as they are spacious with a natural look. The pool area is nice and the bartender is super friendly. Bad: it's a bit inconvenient that you can't park your car close to the rooms, though you can call for the hotel's transportation (golf cart). Food could really use some improvement in quality. The pool itself is artificially heated mildly, so don't expect thermal hot springs like other hotels in the area.

8/10 Very Good

The property was very beautiful and the hotel staff was fine. I do think the bar drinks & bar food are way over priced as well as their spa services. The pool are itself was small but good, water was warm felt very nice. Closes too early in our opinion. Our room was fine, every day we found bugs but I suppose we are in the middle of the jungle. It was a very nice find.

2/10 Poor

The property is beautiful but the room pictures are very deceiving. We went there for our 28th anniversary and it was the worst decision I’ve ever made. We paid for three nights, but checked out early. Our first night we were excited to take a thermal tub on our deck since it had been raining all night. I asked if someone could take a look at the broken tub and no hot water but no one showed up. The sheets were dirty and filled with bugs so we went to the market and bought some sheets. The next day we tried the breakfast, but it was awful and never went again. We asked the hotel if they could please look at our tub our place doesn’t get hot water. We come back that night, soaked and cold from the rain hoping for hot shower and a hot tub. It still didn’t work and we had maintenance guys on our deck from 6 PM to 9:30 PM which made things not very romantic. After all that they said sorry it’s broken and never came back or offered to put us in a room that does have hot water. After they left , we went to go sit out on the chairs, but it was so slippery on the tiles that my wife slipped and hit her head. It startled a cane frog which secreted his venom onto her leg so we had to go to ER. The next morning on our anniversary, we were making love and then my wife screams and gets under the covers. Two of the maids were standing there eating nuts while they’re watching us! I went outside to confront them and they ran away. We come back that night and it’s cold so we checked out.
