10/10 Excellent
"This place was amazing! The landscaping is a jungle motif, and they have an army of people to maintain the place. The hot pools are beautiful, well maintained and amazing. There is a hot tub that is shaped like a flower, and two swimming pools. Breakfast is a buffet that is absolutely amazing. It consists of a salad bar, an omelette bar, a bread, bar, hot breakfast entrées including typical Costa Rican, Gallo, Pinto, and cold cuts, juices, cereal, milk, and is included with your room. The rooms are beautiful with a stunning view of the Arno volcano. And the price cannot be beat. Highly recommend this place!"
