We spent two nights here and were very happy with the views and the friendliness of the owners/staff. We were not really impressed with the quality of the linens or lack of chairs for our room - we asked for some more so we could sit on our balcony and even though most of the other rooms were vacant they...

We spent four nights at this fine establishment in March 2013. We were treated so well by management and staff and look forward to our return one fine day. We prefer the cabinas to the superior rooms because of a more friendly, practical layout. Plenty of room for my wife and I, and perhaps a third guest. Truly excellent views... More

After realizing that the majority of excursions that caught our interest were in the arenal area I opted to stay a few nigths in the area. I chose this hotel based on the price and... More

I booked this hotel not knowing anything about Costa Rica. The hotel is nice with great views of both Arenal Volcano & the lake. The rooms are small but comfortable with the exception of the beds which are due for an upgrade. The staff was pleasant and attentive to our needs and always willing to help. The biggest downside is... More

This place was great! We stayed for 3 nights. The rooms were clean, staff was excellent and helpful. And of course the views were great too. We don't have a bad thing to say. We will stay again for sure! This was a great place for the money.

Our Balcony had the best view of the Volcano Arenal and the lake. We are nestled on a hill and the scenery is breathtaking. The restaurant at the hotel is excellent and we dined there every morning and evening. From the moment you arrive, you are treated like family. Eduardo took care of arranging our every wish, we didn't have... More

The hotel is a bit far from La Fortuna, there is like a 30 minutes drive from the main street to get to the hotel and the road is REALLY REALLY bad. The place is really quiet and cozy.

It's a good place with an excellent restaurant. We stay there 1 night and went back the next day for the dinner. The rooms are very comfortable and have a good view to the volcano.
