The room is large, the shower fun and interesting. Our room was set way back in the property, and the lighting on the paths leading to the room was poor. The room smelt musty all the time, I suppose it is to be expected when it rains almost every day, and it did while we were there, although beginning of... More

Just got back and the resort was wonderful, beautiful rooms a bit on the dark side, but spacious, well appointed, and the rainfall shower was a highlight, the grounds well maintained. The biggest plus for us was the heated 24/7 pool. Great way to kick back and have a drink at the pool side bar. Very convenient location. Breakfast each... More

I took my niece to Costa Rica as a high school graduation gift. We enjoyed this hotel more than anywhere else we stayed. The property was beautiful, the staff friendly, and the rooms large and nice. My niece said it was where she wanted to stay on her honeymoon someday. I especially want to compliment the restaurant. The traditional Costa... More

Rooms in separate buildings covering a few acres, paths lined with flowering plants and colorful palms, this is a breathtaking property. Each building is painted a different color, which sounds garish but truly enhances the ambience and becomes a photographers paradise. Our room was on a hillside with a perfect view of Arenal Volcano and was further enhanced by an... More

We arrived late and were warmly welcomed. We were taken to our rooms (suites) by golf carts and our luggage arrived soon after. The rooms are very large and well decorated but could use dressers. The shower is awesme and fun. We very surprised to find that we could catch a VIP football game on the TV there and so... More

This hotel is different in that all the rooms are separately scattered over the property amongst beautiful gardens and almost hidden so you are not aware that others are sharing your little piece of paraadise. The walk to your room is not far but there are many buggies around so you can often hitch a ride anyway. Wherever you are... More

While I read the previous reviews of this hotel which for the most part were very positive, my actual experience was of being pleasantly surprised. It went beyond my expectations. Upon our arrival, we were greeted with cool damp towels and a fresh fruit drink. We were then wisked to our junior suite which held one king-size bed and a... More

This hotel is very nice. The rooms are large and the showers are interesting complete with tree frogs. Every room has a view of the volcano when the sky is clear. The free shuttle to and from town is grat (too far to walk) and the staff can arrange any local tour you want. They may charge a small amount... More

We arrived in transport from San Jose hot and tired and there was the desk clerk with a basked of hot towels and we were checked in and taken to our room with bags in a cart. The room was large, but not the junior suite, there was no place to sit and read except outside, but the rockers outside... More

Paradise! We brought our 9 year old son here and did zip lining during the day which was truly an amazing experience...but could easily have just stayed back at the (very warm) pool with the swim up bar and relaxed all day :) The bungalos are nice, the grounds are beautiful. We stayed 2 nights, wished we'd stayed a few... More
