Had a nice room with balcony overlooking forest and pool with the sea in the background. Must be the quietest location in Arenal. Family run hotel spotless and clean. Half board food with breakfast and dinner each day. It was so good that we didn't miss a meal for the first time ever on a holiday. Plenty and plenty of... More

This hotel was excellent fr service. Our chambermaid was the best EVER. Receptionists couldnt help us enough. NOTHING we asked fr was any problem. Only niggle, was the mattresses on our beds, [ VERY HARD ]. We bought air bds an put them on beds, lol. Food average, but plentiful. Will DEFINATELY stay again.

At acertain point I was scared to eat anymore - The breakfast had the same food everyday, but at least it... More
