It’s a great property just in he right location; little away from main tourist spots which means quiet, and close to the activities and tours. One of the pick up locations for the tours operators.
Large rooms, great pizza and other food was really delicious (large portions). Staff is friendly and very helpful when we asked questions. Kid pool is small and perfect depth.
The hotel was neat and clean, and the room included breakfast. It was very convenient and many of the tour operators offered pick up for different excursions. It is nothing fancy, but absolutely met our needs.
The hotel is well located. The restaurant is good, and the staff is very friendly. As for the room, the bathrooms are uncomfortable, cramped, with half doors and labyrinthine entrances.
The pool is 10 times smaller than it looks in the advertising photos, and only five people can fit in it without losing privacy.
We stayed in the villa which was perfect for our group of 6. We enjoyed the living space it provided and used the large table to play games in the evening. The washer and dryer were a bonus! The property is close to La Fortuna as well as many attractions though a vehicle is really needed to get around (or Uber). Our kids enjoyed the pool and hot tub. The deck surface is rough so flip flops were needed. Breakfast was great (buffet with good options). Swim towels were provided which was handy. We ate dinner at the on site restaurant and had wonderful pizza.
Cons: The shower never got hot in the one bathroom. There aren’t really places to hang bath towels.

Nice location, beautiful viewa of volcano.
Room and bathroom a bit dated. Friendly staff. Breakfast couldbe improved.
The staff was excellent. They made great suggestions for dinner and made reservations for us. There was a shuttle to take you to restaurants which was helpful because La Fortuna is busy. Very spacious rooms, terrific views of Volcano.
Awesome facility. Very helpful and caring. Food in the restaurant is super good too. The folks in the reception can help you plan your trip in Arenal area. Highly recommend.
I booked this property as I was literally driving to La Fortuna. So glad I did. It sits facing the volcano and the views were unbelievable. I was in cabin #107 loved where it was located!! The grounds are just beautiful and staff very helpful. Loved the unique rooms. I will be back. 🌴❤️

Hotel adequate; Restaurant less so.
This place is not a bad option. It's a bit over-priced. The pool is nice enough (3 ft deep!) & the staff is helpful. The lighting is terrible--ours had no cover so it felt like an interrogation. No bedstand lighting, harsh & insufficient ceiling lights. It's pretty depressing, frankly - à la cheap roadside motels.The rooms are clean enough, although it may be time for a bit of a spruce up. The location is fine--and the town has many dining options, on which you'll depend, as the food at this hotel is just not good (but you can't walk to them--it's a five-minute drive). Pro tip--avoid the horrid breakfast buffet (I mean, really bad!) and ask the waiter to prepare an omelet. It was very good. But, terrible toast & all the margarine you can eat. I begged for butter, but was told by the staff that they didn't have any butter. But, one day, a magical employee who actually gave a damn brought me "the last three tabs" of butter. I thanked him profusely. Apparently, the restaurant is known for it's wood-fired pizza. While it's true that they did use a wood oven, it was without question the worst pizza we EVER had. Chalky, flat crust, pasty tomato sauce and about three pounds of not-good cheese. I asked for the jalapeños, only to learn that they were PICKLED!! Seriously?? pickles on pizza, and in a country that probably grows more jalapeños than any other produce?? Again, an embarrassment.
We stayed in the 2 bedroom / 2 bath villa for 2 adults and 2 older teens. It was perfect for us - lots of space and close to the pool. The king and 2 queen beds were comfortable and each room had an a/c unit. So handy to have laundry in the unit!
Loved having a delicious breakfast included; fresh fruit, pancakes, rice & beans and more.
This resort is an easy drive just outside of La Fortuna and it was a quick drive to our activities like hanging bridges and hiking and the Fortuna waterfall.
