We spent two nights in the hotel in a suprior room. The view was fantastic and so was the room decoration and all emnities. The service was great they acually run for every request we have (we gave some laundry on 4pm and received it back within a hour). But the beds are the most uncomfirable beds I had during... More

Don't stay here if you don't like wildlife and nature, cuz you'll be surrounded by it! My husband and I stayed in a Superior Room, which was like a private little bungalow with a glassed-in front porch. From the porch was a gorgeous view of Arenal Volcano.

We stayed here two nights on our Costa Rican Adventure trip. The cabins are private and clean but a bit dated. The hot spring pools on property are unique. Pool area was just ok. Good, friendly bartender. We ate at the hotel one night. Food was average. This makes a decent place to stay while doing activities in the Arenal... More

Was there in February 2012. Amazing place! Nice little bungalows with a nice balcony to sit and enjoy the jibber-jabber of the wildlife. Breakfast was amazing, lots of variety ( eggs, meat, breads, cereal, fruits) we chose this place for the hot springs and we were not disappointed, they were wonderful.

We stayed at this hotel recently while doing local hiking and white water rafting at Wave Expeditions in La Fortuna. Sleep: Sleep was ok...beds were quite hard and the pillows were too soft. Other than that, we slept very well. Trail: There is a trail at the top of the hill behind the hotel just behind the top hot spring.... More

What a beautiful, peaceful resort! The food was fantastic and the hot springs pools were such a cool, different experience! The rooms were extremely clean and although the volcano was under cloud cover almost the entire time, it was still so nice to sit on the porch rocking chairs and relax. We also took a horseback ride to the volcano... More

We wanted to do a quick trip to hot springs during our 2 night stay near arenal, and this 20$ budget option seemed nice in the photos on the website. However, we were very disapointed that half the pools were stagnating or empty. We would not recommend goin there!

A hotel $10 cab ride outside La Fortuna. It is under the volcano but of course you cannot always see it. And, of course, it no longer spews lava!
