Look no further, book this one!
We absolutely loved this spot! It’s really hard to know which is the best when looking online, but we would say this is one of your best options if the following are considerations: 1) value - the cost vs value is certainly there. This is a very affordable yet very clean and comfortable hotel. We were very impressed. 2) Breakfast was included! Breakfast each morning was served. Eggs, Bacon, Pancakes and Fruits + Coffee and Juice. They were willing to accommodate/adjust the meal how you liked. You could request items not to be included if you had an allergy, and you could also ask for a little extra of something. Again, the value is 100% here. 3) Location - only a couple blocks from the Main Street. Close to grocery stores where you can buy very reasonably priced fruits, coconuts, etc. Great coffee shops and treats like ice cream close by. The other great thing about this location is it’s quiet at night. No loud music, you could hear the animals and are still close enough to all amenities. 4) view/amenities - view was superb and grounds are well maintained and lush. Volcano is right in view each morning. Pool is great for a cool down. I would say only big enough for one family at a time, but didn’t seem to be an issue during our stay. Free parking. 4) Service - very good. The people who work hear are gems. Very helpful, will do their best to assist and recommend items to get you a better deal.

8/10 Very Good

The rooms were clean. The bathrooms could use some updating as one room had a leak in the bathroom ceiling and the other shower pooled water. The beds were pretty firm, so beware. The pool needed some repairs. The inner courtyard was beautiful and we saw many species of birds and a sloth right outside the office. Breakfast was good. The staff were very nice and super helpful.

I liked that the hotel was within walking distance to everything in town. The housekeeping did a great job. What I didn’t like was the bed were too firm and they don’t have enough outlets in the room. Other than that Its nice for the price.

Property was located in the center of the town and market. That's the only positive. The room rates were exorbitantly high compared to the rooms types, amenities (NONE) and quality of stay. The hotel is just a grade above a motel.

This hotel has friendly staff and spacious rooms. The breakfast each morning was made fresh and can be enjoyed on their open patio. The hotel’s garden has great views of Arenal Volcano and provides a great place to relax. The hotel is centrally located and just a short walk from downtown, while still being off the main road and providing a quiet place to sleep. The rooms were cleaned daily and the staff provided small additions to make your stay feel special.
