Our room was very basic and outdated compared to other properties we stayed at in Costa Rica. Had to call staff to spray for cockroaches and ants, turn hot tub up and jets back on, nothing special about food, view of volcano from pool was awesome but pool is freezing cold.

We had the honeymoon suite. The view was absolutely amazing but the property is a bit outdated. We ate the breakfast that was included but chose to dine out for the other meals. The owner is super friendly. The views make up for the property being outdated and there is a jungle trail that’s worth trying out.

Great place. Highly recommend one of the cabin on the hill. The view of the volcano is breathtaking and being able to see it from your room’s window is priceless. Also, the place is kept very clean and the restaurant serves very good food at affordable prices. Overall it was a very good experience
