We enjoyed very much the resort, the view of the volcano was spectacular! The staff were all friendly and helpful. For sure rent a car in La fortuna because transportation is expensive. Enjoyed the tours, many fun activities to do!

Really enjoyed our experience at this hotel. You feel like you are staying in the rainforest but with a clean and modern room and a great restaurant on site. Lots of wildlife on the property, volcano views from the balcony. Service, wifi, pools were all great as well. Was our favourite hotel from our trip where we stayed at 3 different places. Short drive to activities nearby as well. Not much walkable though so you'd benefit from having your own car if you stay here.

The property was absolutely fantastic. Our room had an amazing view of Mt. Arenal and was well worth the expense. All the employees were extremely helpful whether we needed information, directions or recommendations. We would undoubtedly stay there again when we travel back to Costa Rica.

What a gorgeous property! There is a warm pool and regular pool with a swim up bar. Everything is surrounded by lush, beautiful rain forest. We saw so many different critters. Food was good and easily available if we didn't feel like driving back into La Fortuna. Would definitely stay there again.

Every room has view of Arenal Volcano. The evening we arrived our balcony looked out upon an incredible rain forest, we had no idea until the next morning and the clouds parted and there was the volcano. The staff pick you up for meals or the pool in a golf cart. This hotel was the highlight of our trip.

This place is heaven! We had beautiful views of Arenal from our balcony and saw so many animals around the property. Everything is stunning. The heated pool is a big plus, as well as the nature trail which we took every day. The hotel is very close to Mistico hanging bridges. Although a bit far from La Fortuna, it’s absolutely worth staying in this peaceful escape.

The resort is very tranquil and peaceful, very close with nature. Dining options are not great and we found the food bland tasting. Could have better signage for getting around the resort.

Absolutely breathtaking property. Right in the middle of the rainforest. Very secluded resort, although it is literally next door to the Mistico hanging bridges. But other restaurants and towns are a 20 min drive. Warm pool was perfect. Food was great. Hiking trails were very nice.
