This is a lovely location, our room had a view of the volcano. Food in the restaurant was excellent and reasonably priced for a resort. Staff were all terrific, so fun and helpful. They all look like they enjoy their jobs. The property is beautiful. I had a massage which was excellent. Instead of spa music, there is the natural sounds of the rain forest which was so relaxing!

What a beautiful place! not the newest place, but well maintained. Gorgeous views of Aranel Volcano. Good proximity to volcano activities. Restaurant at the hotel is outstanding, food and presentation were the best we encountered in our whole 11 day trip to Costa Rica. Mixed drinks were very reasonably priced. A pleasant stay overall. You have to do a bit of walking to get from room to restaurant, but we were there to walk anyway.
