"Unit is very clean, in good, newer condition. Conveniently located but hard to find as it lacks prominent signage to indicate you're at the right place; and has no "front desk" to check in at when you arrive which is problematic as its just a house in the midst of many others. There is a bar/club nearby that goes til 2:30AM each night. Pack ear plugs. The A/C worked well. Good base of operations for visiting the stites. "

"Loved this backpackers! Super cool rooms, and the view is excellent looking straight at the Arenal volcano! Awesome pool and bar right on property and downtown is so walkable from the front of the property! "

"Se pagó el hospedaje mediante la aplicación, al llegar al hotel estaba cerrado, en mantenimiento, perdí mi día entero de vacaciones buscando donde hospedareme, tengan cuidado, afortunadamente hotels me ayudo"

"The reception was very nice, it felt very safe and clean"

"Great hostel situated in a nice neighbourhood, 5 minutes walk from the centre including the supermarkets and bus terminal (the centre is frankly not as pleasant as the suburbs). Rooms have secure key codes, and lockers are situated in the communal kitchen which is large, clean and well equipped. Everything was good. Would recommend."

"This place is CLOSED yet hotels.com keeps offering it online. I booked through hotels.com as part of my trip and when I got their and the hotel was no longer in operation, and it was a nightmare dealing with hotels.com. They are pushy and it is a mess. When I started demanding my money back, a pushy person who spoke broken English called to sell me ANOTHER hotel, but refused to give me my money back. I am realizing hotels.com is a racket."

"Despite being a little mix-up on room type, Adrian (the owner) did all he could to make it right and I had a very pleasant experience. Their hospitality was amazing and the room was comfortable. I had to work one afternoon and the internet worked great. The lounge/common areas were very comfortable and the kitchen had everything you would need. The only thing I would recommend is that if you book through a 3rd party (like Hotels.com) to call and confirm your room type in advance. "

"We really enjoyed our bunglow type room. Had everything we needed. Breakfast was very good with lots of options and the best freshest juices! The property with all the hot spring pools was awesome even tho the hot springs were alittle luke warm. We enjoyed an amazing couples massage - highly recommend! Staff and service was top notch. We look forward to staying there again and are thinking about bringing our children and grandchildren with as its a perfect place for a family vacation!"

It’s a peaceful place with quality, farm-to-table food every single day. Highly recommend! Every adventure/activity includes pickup to the hotel, which is a great plus. "

"Honestly we didn't know how fun this place was going to be! I barely looked at photos, just focusing on reviews and there was SO MUCH TO DO!! We were busy from sun up to sun down, though we could have rested we had so much fun in the pools and down at the river, relaxing in hammocks and just shedding the stress of normal life. This resort is absolutely amazing, and I would go back again and again! The only downside was the beds were SUPER firm, too much for me but we balanced that out with pool time and the overall relaxation made up for it. Will be back!"
