Best ever from the minute we arrived. We got lost into a peaceful experience watching nature from our balcony and an always changing view of the volcano. Set a goal to bring the whole family here, and not too far from the action in La Fortuna. Wonderful on every way!

Gorgeous view of Arenal from our room patio. Great food in the hotel restaurant - breakfast was the best and dinner was quite good. All the facilities were top notch, including the two pools (heated and unheated) and swim up bar. On site hiking trail was beautiful and challenging.

Very Nice Hotel off the beaten path. Tucked away on the hillside each room had a nice view of the volcano without seeing the other rooms. The room was big and nicely appointed and comfortable. The Hot tub was sparking clean and the outdoor shower room was a elegant touch. The staff was friendly and very helpful with room requests were handled very quickly. Parking is a bit tricky but it was just a short walk to your room. Each room had two BIG umbrellas for your use. Coffee service in room was ok and the mini fridge was really cold.

We stayed here recently with a group of 5 and really enjoyed our stay. The resort itself is very beautiful. The rooms were lovely and spacious, with a fantastic view. The A/C in the rooms were great. The resort had a couple areas to explore, like a frog sanctuary, hummingbird gallery, and a hiking trail. Just be careful as the hummingbird gallery is the the end of the hiking trail, so we ended up going through the hiking trail while we were exploring the hummingbird gallery area. We had the free breakfast and dinner at the resort and found the food to be delicious. Travelling around the resort there are steep hills but you can request transportation if needed. Our journey towards the resort is very uphill and windy, so those who get car sick may be affected. The resort itself is quite close to Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. You can walk from the resort. Keep in mind that the walk will be quite uphill but doable. One thing to note- on our last day of our stay we had an issue with flying ants which are common in Costa Rica. There were A LOT of them in all 3 of our rooms. The staff explained that this is common in Costa Rica and that they are completely harmless but are more of an annoyance. They helped us kill a lot of the flying ants. We found turning off the lights and blocking off the windows and doors with towels helped.

This property was a dream. We loved the beautiful view, the rooms were clean, large outdoor patios with 2 chairs, the staff was polite and accommodating. It’s about a 25 minute drive to downtown Fortuna so close enough to visit during the day, but far enough that you aren’t in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Everything was just wonderful
