Beautiful property

Our stay at the lodge was wonderful! It’s an older property with lots of charm. Views are beautiful! Room was large and we loved time on the balcony in the hanging chair. Board games and chess and checkers for some good family time. Pool was beautiful and chilly for those hot days. Restaurant had good food and the team was flexible with times (we came in at 2 after activities and they served us lunch, which was much appreciated!). Loved our stay! Saw coati, hummingbirds, lots of cool insects and a tayra on property. Recommend driving to the lodge in the daylight. Very close to Mistico Hanging Bridges.

This is a gem. Spacious, comfortable rooms with a stunning view from the balcony. Lush grounds with jungle trails. Infinity pool, pool table, games. Lovely restaurant with a varied menu and gorgeous view of Arenal Lake and Volcano. A welcome change from the sterile all inclusive vibe. Authentic Costa Rican experience.

Super cool hotel. The entry drive is pretty crazy at first and it takes a while to get to the hotel up the mountain, but once you are up there - WOW! Nice place with a nostalgic feel. Really enjoyed visiting with my family and will be back again! Thank you

Unique vibe in this place! The bar, the restaurant and 7 rooms including our are in a 1881 building with beautiful wood all around and a very special feel! They built a big roof over this and other building so the lobby feel like you're inside and outside at the same time! Pool and jacuzzi were nice and they have trails around to enjoy the nature and the view. It's too bad we can't see the volcano often because of the clouds. You should definitely try to be there when you can see it. Awesome view!! Service was great and we enjoyed the food at their restaurant a lot!

The hotel was amazing along with the staff. The grounds and views were beautiful! An authentic beautiful place. The view from our junior suite was the best I’ve seen in Costa Rica. And the massages in the spa were fantastic.

View from room 308- a junior suite for a great price!

We had a quick stay here so didn't get to enjoy many of the amenities. But the hot tub was nice and the restaurant food really good. Our rooms was charming. The only drawback was a huge rain storm overnight. We could understand hearing the rain on the roof, but there was something banging from the wind that kept us up a bit. Otherwise the hotel is in a great location to everything.
