The location was convenient and the room was acceptable.
The breakfast bar was swarmed with flies with them eating the food and was very unsanitary. We also waited to check out for 30 mins but no one was at the desk. The pools close early.

Ubicación perfecta si no quieres estar en La Fortuna. El personal es muy agradable y nos ayudaron con todas las actividades que queríamos hacer. El hotel esta muy bien cuidado, especialmente los jardines, que son preciosos!
Las habitación que nos tocó era bastante básica. Vendría bien una pequeña nevera y mejor iluminación indirecta, especialmente en habitaciones familiares.
Una sugerencia también es que pongan un portamaletas que los huéspedes puedan usar. Nosotros acabamos arrastrando maletas cómo pudimos. Una de las chicas de la limpieza muy amablemente nos ayudó.

The hotel is charming, right in front of the volcano which makes the view incredible. The location is excellent, only about 10 minutes or less by car to the center. The staff was always very friendly, giving us advice. The breakfast is very complete, it is buffet style. We really loved this hotel.
Nothing to say.

Big room with nice balcony
Simple breakfast but enough)
Friendly staff
Juice... it's a pity with such a warm country with a big choice of fruits even on a hotel they serve not natural juice. But fruits - pineapple, pappaya, watermelon - were sweet and a lot!

Very clean, no bugs, comfortable beds, nice shower and great pool facilities. Breakfast was also quite nice and the view on the volcano was amazing.

It has stunning views of the volcano. The staff were very kind.
There’s no dinner place on site so you either have to go the Korean restaurant at the front (very expensive) or Uber into town.

Had the best views and simple but fantastic facilities. Couple of pools, very quite, clean and comfortable! Big rooms with lost of space and a absolutely perfect view of the volcano from everywhere.
Toilet made quite the noise when the water was running. Slightly tricky to get to around, have dinner etc. if you don't have a car as it's about 8km from the town.

Spectacular view of the volcano.
Located just outside of La Fortuna (away from the traffic, noise & neon signs) but close enough to drive in.
Near to the volcano hiking areas.
Simple rooms but spacious & clean.
Decent breakfast too.

We stayed in a bungalow and it was so nice and private. There’s an amazing view of the volcano and 2 great pools to swim in. We loved that there was a full fridge and microwave.
6.0
The location was excellent in regards to the volcano Arenal.
We got very good advice to where to go, best place to see the volcano and other must see in the areas.
The first night we were in a bungalow, and we could sleep well, without noise.
The breakfast very mediocre. Artificial fruit juice they claimed it was natural.
The music during breakfast was extremely loud and when telling them they would not turn it down.
4.0
Very good view from the volcano once you exit the room and go down to the edge of the hotel.
We stay in a Double Room with Two Double Beds (the first night we stayed in a bungalow with garden views) and it was extremely loud. Very thing walls, we could listen to the guests from the left and the right, all conversations and we were so unlucky that we had aggressive and loud ones.
No intimacy from this rooms.

Great location and breakfast!

Wow! I think we lucked into one of the two best rooms in the hotel. Super easy check in. Receptionist gave us the key for room 13. We walked all the way to the end of the property our room was not one of the cute bungalows. We were last room 2nd floor in the bigger building. At this point we were not expecting much other than a very reasonably priced room. walked into a nice clean room, sat on the bed and Boom, there is Arenal volcano out the two giant windows of our room! Watched for hours as the clouds rolled past eventually revealing the top. Pool was cool and refreshing. Free breakfast was delicious! location is very close to all Fortuna and Arenal activities.
No hot springs pool.

Spacious room with 2 double beds. Breakfast was amazing!
Pool was outdoors and had very cold water.
7.0
As everyone mentioned, the view of the volcano and the property is beautifully maintained. The two pools looked great, however the one closest to us did not have water until late in the afternoon of our second day, so unfortunately couldn't use it. Paola was very helpful and kind at breakfast and reception. At breakfast, we enjoyed the coffee, eggs, fruit and pancakes.
Our room (standard double) did not have a fridge, while the rest seemed to have one. I'm not sure why that's the case, as every hotel room we've ever stayed at in different countries have a mini fridge. There was no shower mat, so water would spill on the bathroom floor. Wifi would sometimes disconnect.
9.0
Great/quiet location, wonderful hot and cold breakfast, nice staff, excellent volcano view, room service daily, clean facilities, something broke in our room and they were very quick to fix it, would absolutely stay again!
As with any older property the hot water is limited and walls are thin. did not impact our experience at all.
7.0
The garden is fantastic, so big, well maintained and full of trees, bushes and flowers; we saw many birds here, including hummingbirds. View of the volcano is also amazing, there’s a little pasture behind the house where cows are chilling out in the morning. Fantastic.
It’s a humid area and it really shows in the rooms - there are humidity stains on the walls and the ceiling. It could really do with a fresh lick of paint. Bathroom also outdated and could do with renovation. But the rooms are big and well lit, and the AC works well.
