Great hotel with its own thermal pools.

Arrived early but told we would have to wait till 3 for check in. We were able to use the thermal pools and have lunch whilst we waited. Our room was a decent size with 2 double beds but unfortunately the walls were paper thin and the 'family' next door were anything but quiet. Luckily for us, on requesting a move to another room, they were able to oblige and Alan, the concierge, was very helpful driving us to and from our old room to the new room and back to reception. Our 'new room was quieter and comfortable. The thermal pools were very enjoyable ranging from hot (around 40c) down in a series of 'fake' rock pools to about 24c. In addition a decent swimming pool and a separate swim up bar which we assume was thermal water as it was at her dark and murky. The staff were all friendly and the food and cocktails were delicious, though we found the food portions on the large side. What would have been nice was some bench seats around the property in order to sit and enjoy the wildlife/birds. Also the sunbeds by the pool were in very poor repair and few in number.

The hotel grounds were pretty but the resort appears to need some upgrades. We lost water several times in our room. Many of the hot springs were not open or filled The hot tub was not open and couldn’t find the sauna.

One stop shop for relaxing in the rainforest!

We love to relax at this resort. If you want to just lounge around in the rainforest, this is a great place to do it. The cabins are modest, but the facilities are a little more updated. This resort has everything you need so you don't have to leave if you don't want to. The massages at the spa are amazing. There is a zip lining adventure right in the resort if you want. And the food is great too. Our favorite thing to do is to soak in the mineral pool with the swim up bar for a cocktail and bird watch while getting glimpses of the Volcan Arenal from time to time.

Don’t give them your business

No water. Can’t shower. Can’t flush the toilet. No compensation, no credit for food. Nothing. How romantic is it when you can’t flush a toilet? Failing grade from us. Oh… line-up for poor breakfast too. Front desk staff as friendly as a migraine.

We had two very nice comfortable cabins, beds were fine, it was lovely being able to sit on the porches and listen to the birds. The thermal baths were fabulous, graduated from hot to luke warm, were well kept up and clean. However we had two problems. The water in our cabins kept going off for many many hours For all three days of our stay. Very awkward not being able to flush toilets! We actually would fill up bottles of water so we could brush our teeth if the water was off. The other problem was they told us that they couldn’t seat our party of 5 in the main restaurant, but they could seat us in the pool restaurant and assured us the food was the same. The food was not the same, it was a much more casual menu. The breakfast buffet was very good every day and the cleaning staff and other staff were helpful and nice. The hotel is lovely, even saw a toucan in the trees there, but they need to fix their water situation.

Our family of four, parents and two teens (16 and 14), had a great time! The property is beautiful, and the view of the volcano is outstanding. Our superior room had 2 queen beds and was comfortable with excellent A/C. We enjoyed trying out the different thermal pools and the regular swimming pool, moving from hot to cool, cool to hot, trying to figure out why different ones were empty on different days? They are much nicer in person than in the pictures! We enjoyed the casual restaurant by the pool more than the formal dining. The breakfast buffet had many options, but was better on the second day; the first day they seemed to stop refilling things after 8:30am. Most of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, the only exception being one (of the three) towel ladies who was repeatedly very unfriendly for no discernible reason. Overall we would recommend this resort and we would stay here again.

Great hotel in a great location

Incredible hotel located in the perfect part of town. The rooms are all separate and the pools and thermal pools are easily accessible and not too crowded. The thermal pools are all on site and all different temperatures so it’s easy to find one that’s exactly that you want. The staff are super friendly and the restaurant and bar are great. No noise problems at all. If you have a car, Parking is available right outside your door or in the lot at the entrance if you have multiple. You can see the volcano from every part of the resort. Definitely recommend.
