nice hot pool, needs: updating, wash cloths, cleaning everyday, changing towels, they are friendly. location is good and green areas. they should take advantage of th space and make it appealing, good price though. they need to widen th choices of th menu. before i forget, they should stop th waterfall at least at 10.30pm it was awesome

Two nights never cleaned our room. No hot water and the so called receptionist said it didn't cause we hadn't turn it on. We told them the repair part required, he went and bought it and gave it to us because he didn't know how to fix it. Disconnected A/C really don't know why. And breakfast Eventhough it's tasty takes... More

I stayed here as part of a small group excursion. The hotel -- several km outside the town of La Fortuna -- is a very pretty property. The grounds are lovely, and the pool area is wonderful. The swimming pool and the hot springs are immaculate and picturesque. The rooms themselves are very modest. There are three beds in each... More

Nice surroundings but horrible room. It is really old and it doesnt even have a decent closet to hang on your clothes. We had to keep the bathroom window open all night because of the terrible sewage smell. I wish we had spent more money on a better place but as we only spent one night and we were all... More

Manuel provided great service and recommendations for activities in La Fortuna. Although we were unable to view the entire Volcano (it was raining) while we were there, I could tell that it would have been a beautiful view if we had been luckier. Laundry is also available as a service and they were very good at separating our clothes and... More

The service was wonderful...from check-in to check-out. Breakfast is also pretty good and quick (they realize that you may be going on an adventurous trip soon). You have your choice of three types of breakfast, plus coffee, orange juice, etc. You will not have all amenities you might expect: really hot water, ice, or a clock. Wireless internet works best...

we went for a week to costa rica and stayed at this hotel for few days. The room was clean, the maid service was excellent (indeed she was the only thing i liked about the hotel), she cared a lot about the clients and kept the area clean. 5 points for Milena!! But, the service in the reception was poor.... More

We stayed at this small hotel along the road to the Arenal Park. The place is spotlessly clean, but without charm. Great views of the volcano, but many other places here have the same view. Take the bungalow if you can. I would spend a little more money next time and stay at a more charming place.
