What a beautiful property, and great team members!
The bungalows are perfectly set back from the road to minimize the street noise.
We didn’t require service during our three nights, but did swap out towels on the second day.
The pool was clean, and had a beautiful view of the volcano and neighboring mountains.
Hazel the breakfast host was lovely, and was always singing :)
We brought a reuseable water bottle and the staff happily filled it with ice and water each morning before we left for the day.
This property is fantastic.
The rooms are individual chalets with a private covered porch. The grounds are beautiful with a view of Arenal Volcano right from the room. Our room was fully updated and in beautiful condition.
The staff at both the hotel and restaurant were accommodating and so friendly.
Seriously, if you are visiting the La Fortuna area, you need to stay here. You will not be disappointed.

A bit disappointed but it ended up working out fine. Nothing special. Smaller property, busier area, and closer to the road, than we expected compared to the photos. The cabin was very pretty inside with vaulted ceiling. The terrace was fine. The shower was the worst! No water pressure or hot water. It was hot outside so we managed. Beautifully maintained garden and view of the volcano. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The restaurant staff and front desk attendant were all very friendly and helpful. Nice to have breakfast included. The dinners were on the pricier side, so we opted to eat at better rated places nearby. The room met my most important needs which was a clean, comfortable room with queen beds and air conditioning that was located outside of town.
Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The hotel rooms were conveniently located near restaurants and shopping (souvenirs, grocery store, laundry mat) but far enough from the street and noise to feel secluded and intimate. It’s also on the closer side of town to the volcano and thermal pools, which is great for those activities but means it’s about a 20 minute walk into the main part of town. The grounds were beautiful and we woke up every morning to lovely bird songs. The room was really nice, modern, and clean. The included breakfast was yummy (plate of fruit, coffee and tea, and then you order from a menu that offers 6 options of American and Costa Rican food). The receptionist was very nice too. And surprisingly our room was ready a couple of hours early. The pool was clean and well maintained but nothing extravagant. The only downsides were the receptionist is only available from 8am-6pm and the water temperature in the shower was difficult to control (but it was a nice shower with good pressure). We definitely will stay here again when we come back.
The hotel was better than expected. The grounds are beautiful, the pool with day beds made it so much more inviting, and the rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. We could walk to nearby restaurants and make a quick drive into town. The daily breakfast was a also a great way to start our day. They offered coffee, juice, fruit, American and local breakfast options. Overall it exceeded our expectations. We stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed our nights after our busy days.
Right in the middle of everything, yet the rooms are in secluded setting making you feel very private.
Nice pool area.
Nice gardens
We had diner at the restaurant which was good and breakfast were excellent. Very friendly staff
I recommend this place
