“AC restrictions and wrist bracelet diminished otherwise-excellent experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 17 May 2013 NEW

Yes, this hotel has nice rooms and beautiful views from each room, the staff are nice, there are free internet PCs to use, the golf cart transportaion is good, and the hot springs and pool are great. I went as part of a Caravan tour and that was a great value. Definitely, I enjoyed myself. So why the middling rating?... More

We really liked this hotel. When we arrived we were given a welcome drink and super friendly attention. Incredible gardens with a breath-taking view of the volcano. Hot springs and nice pool with a bar in the middle. Great place to relax and unwind. The shower was really cool, with nice natural details. My only complaint was the room was... More

This is a lovely resort property. All rooms have a view of the Avenal Volcano. The units are like little bungalows. The grounds are lush with tropical vegetation. Great pool and hot springs area. Even has a swim up sushi and cocktail area. My wife loved the Spa. For yoga enthusiasts it has a private yoga area. The food was... More

Calm, great view of the volcano, nice little bar by the hot spring, amazing fresh food at the restaurant, staff is nice and price range is worth it!

“Great place to kick up your feet”

As you arrive, the lobby bar greets you with a fresh tropical fruit juice. Every cabina at this resort has a spectacular view of Arenal Volcano. The cabinas are essentially duplexes that have their own patio with rockers and an end table for you to relax and enjoy the view of the volcano. Each cabina also has a floor to... More

“Amazing View!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 May 2013 NEW

All I can say is that you can't beat the view from this resort. All rooms are situated on a hill so that you have an unobstructed view of the Arenal Volcano. We were lucky enough to be there when the sky was clear and I think we sat almost all afternoon looking at it from our patio on rocking... More

Was here for three nights with the spouse as part of a week-long vacation to Costa Rica. Beautiful, relaxing place: good food, extremely hospitable and friendly staff, comfortable rooms. Has a great thermal pool with swim-up bar and sushi. Really couldn't find a single thing to complain about our stay, but it's not within walking distance of any village, so... More

Great vacation destination. Pleasing staff.expensive restaurant, though. Loved the breakfast buffet. And the sushi was really really good! Our booking was made through Pacific Trade Winds, who I would recommend. Booked flights on our own with Spirit Airlines who I WILL NEVER FLY WITH AGAIN
