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

Beautiful place, but deceptive practices.. they need customer service training. I made reservation changes in advance and they approved it but they still charged me for extra night even though I communicated ahead that it would not be needed. When arrived to the hotel they pretended like they never approved reservation changes….cost me extra night of stay and never upgraded us to VIP… as advertised

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.

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.

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.
