We had a third story room and a beautiful view of the Arenal Volcano. My hubby was having a couple issues with the in room safe and each time... More

Delights: Staff is WONDERFUL! Very courteous, friendly, gracious. Adrian and Nancy greeted us likes kings and queens. Nancy is a top notch concierge and helped up plan day trips. Leo ran a hospitable front of house. Rooms comfortable, clean. Patios and views are extra special! Great pool. Disappointments: Tune steak not recommended. Food good, not great. Enjoyable experience.

Okay, I'm writing this on the first night, so it's possible that my views will change. However, the service and room so far have been excellent. Clean rooms (huge bed!), polite staff, a pool with a swim-up bar. Now, take all this with the knowledge that I've never really used a booking agency before, so I tend to find myself... More

We stayed here at the end of May 2013. The hotel is great! It is in a great location, within walking distance of La Fortuna and amazing views of the Arenal Volcano. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. We were there in the slower season, so the pool and wet bar were never too crowded. I highly recommend this... More

We stayed at this hotel in May 2013. It is in a great location, close to all activities. The staff are super friendly and the continental breakfast is great. It was slow season so there weren't many people there. We never saw anyone using the pool or at the bar. The WiFi is free which was great. Our room had... More
