Beautiful garden and amazing view of the volcano on a clear sunny day! The room was comfy enough, more and better pillows would be nice. The hotel is close to the hot springs and to volcano Arenal.

I didn’t want to leave
I didn’t want to leave. The volcano was magical. The pool was refreshing. Our room was adequate. I would have appreciated a bedside table and lamp. The best part was the location. Out of downtown La Fortuna, it was quiet. A short walk down the road is a convenience store to grab chips and cold beers. In the same strip is Go Adventure tours (awesome), and a fresh restaurant called Raul Castano. Back to the hotel- 10/10 would go back.

The property was great, clean and spacious with good tv, AC and good bathroom. Breakfast was really good and staff very friendly. Location was a bit far from the city center by walk but easy and quick drive to the city center and they had a big and easy parking too. Really good restaurant just opposite side of the hotel called Mirador. The view to the Volcano was breathtaking, so beautiful. Highly recommend to stay there.

Our first room had lots of mold in the bathroom. I have an autoimmune disease and did want to stay in the room. The workers were very supportive and moved our room. I appreciated their understanding. The property is stunning and the view of the Arenal Volcano is amazing.

Cute little cabins with lovely garden surrounding. Nice covered sitting area outside. Was perfect for our family. Clean as well and very helpful front desk staff. Our boys loved the pool too. Didn’t eat in restaurant so can’t comment on food. Breakfast was ok but not great. Definitely would stay again.
