"We love this property because all of the rooms have gorgeous views of the volcano. The breakfast was phenomenal lots of options. The spa service of a chocolate couples massage was nice. We love that they had a pool and thermal springs. The only things we didn’t love were the insane prices at the pool bar areas $30 for a shrimp quesadilla for example and $20 per drink even more expensive than in US felt abusive. "

"The hotel is very quaint with beautiful vegetation and very peaceful; beautiful views of the Arenal. The staff were very friendly. It was quiet and clean and felt like we were away from everything yet it was very close to the center of town, which was great. My 2 suggestions would be to accommodate the rooms with a small dryer for clothing/bathing suits as there is no where to dry the bathing suits and due to the moisture and humidity of the area clothes do not dry overnight. Second, the thermal...

The staff at the reception and the guy at the pool bar were really nice and helpful. We just felt a little uncomfortable the first night we ate at the restaurant because the restaurant staff were really pushing the special of the night that at the end was expensive and not really that good for the price and the “complimentary” dessert was a frozen pie we usually...

"Without a doubt the most incredible property I’ve ever visited. Our mountain(volcano!) view was jaw dropping, truly something I’ll never forget. The infinity pool and hot tub area enjoyed the same view! The restaurant is 5-star, truly a pleasure. The grounds are gorgeous and felt very safe; and don’t even get me started on the monkeys we watched from our balcony as they swung through the lush trees. Honestly I can’t recommend the resort highly enough. The only part that wasn’t amazing was the...
