    If I had to suggest anything, it would be to have the gift shop have more stock

    Incredibly friendly and helpful staff, beautiful, lush grounds, well appointed room. Delicious food, reasonably priced for food, drinks and rooms. Lovely stay all around. We didn’t want to leave and will be back.

    A bit away from the city, which isn't necessarily bad but just take that into consideration.

    The resort itself is beautiful, with stunning views, nice cold and warm pools and the staff are very helpful. Value for money is very high and you definitely should stay here, no doubts.

    We did not fully grasp how far the property was from town and how limited transportation options would be. This is part of the reason the resort is so peaceful and bucolic. But we should have rented a car.

    The views and setting were wonderful. I really liked that the property was not so large/so many rooms. The staff were so gracious and helpful.

    Fabulous relaxing stay in a rainforest oasis!

    • Stayed 3 nights

    For the price, we expected a better breakfast selection. Rooms could benefit from hooks on balcony for pool towels and wet swimwear. Only 2 pool towels provided for a family of four.

    Fabulous small resort in the rainforest by Lake Arenal. 30 mins easy drive to the busy town of La Fortuna. Amazing views of Arenal volcano from our room. We had a ground floor room and hummingbirds would visit the beautiful gardens right by our balcony. Open air restaurant was a wonderful setting however the menu is limited and offers the same for lunch and dinner - this got a bit boring after a 2 nights, we drove to town on our last night for variety. Great pools (one cold, one warm) with swim up bar and lounge area. Good family hotel, lots to see and do right nearby and the hotel can arrange tours - we also saw Tucans, frogs and coutis just in the hotel grounds :-)

    Amazing hotel in the middle of the jungle

    We liked everything but be aware that the hot pool is a bit small and might be crowded. The curtains in the room let some light through and note that since it’s in the middle of the jungle, you can hear a lot of natural sounds from animals to rain on the vegetation. It’s lovely but it might get loud. Regardless, we would go back anytime.

    The room was clean and spacious, with all key comforts, and an amazing view. Staff always very kind. The SPA is so beautiful, an experience definitely to try. The restaurant is good and surrounded by the jungle, like the pools and the room. Location is also quite central for key tours/ places to visit. Definitely recommended

    We had some issues with the water in our room. One day we had no water but the hotel quickly resolved the issue. The water in the shower was also slightly warm and never got hot.

    Phenomenal hotel with great amenities and facilities. The hotel room was beautiful and had amazing views of the volcano. The property was gorgeous and well maintained. The hiking trail was a plus!

    A beautiful rain forest oasis outside of the bustle of La Fortuna. Amazing views of Arenal volcano from our room. Steep property so may be challenging for those with mobility needs, but resort has shuttle service. Open air restaurant was wonderful. Great pool with swim up bar and lounge area. In the heart of nature surrounded by beauty.

    It was a little bit outside of La Fortuna, but honestly the town itself was not our favourite so we were glad to be a little bit removed!

    This place exceeded our expectations. The staff was incredible, the food was delicious, and they had great facilities (bar/pool) - The heated pool was a really nice touch! It came with a free breakfast every morning, and a lot of the time we stayed for dinner due to the amazing local cuisine. It had local wildlife trails and a beautiful view of the volcano from every room. It was the perfect spot to relax after days filled out activities. Loved our stay!

    Nada. Keep it totally as is.

    The view from the rooms is a spectacular one of Arenal Volcano and the amazing flora in the area. The staff was so, so friendly and helpful, the rooms were very large and clean, the food was good - breakfast in particular - and we loved every minute there.
