We had been by this charming little chalet-looking place several times, and we always enjoyed the quaint atmosphere and the restaurant. This time we stayed for a couple of days - and it is a really interesting place with a dairy, a miniature train ride, and a rotating restaurant at the top of a hill (with a spectacular 360 degree view of the lake and the Arenal Volcano). The rooms are roomy enough, and the bathrooms are nicely done. The whole thing has the feel of a Swiss chalet in the mountains and guests seem to be multi-lingual in German, Spanish, French, and English. The odd thing is that they do not take credit cards, the pool and hot tub are not grouted, and there doesn't appear to be any real upkeep to the place -- it is almost like it was built and then forgotten. What a pity, because it has an old world charm that is rare in the Arenal area.
