Gorgeous view of Arenal from our room patio. Great food in the hotel restaurant - breakfast was the best and dinner was quite good. All the facilities were top notch, including the two pools (heated and unheated) and swim up bar. On site hiking trail was beautiful and challenging.

Wonderful stay!

Wonderful visit! Everything was clean, the pools were great, the food was delicious with enough variety on the menu that everyone was happy (including kids), the day trips we booked through List Iguana were amazing. We did not rent a car and did not think we needed one. Highly recommend!

Stunning location and incredible view from the suite! We sat on the patio for hours morning and evening (and night) just listening to the jungle sounds and taking in the view of the Arenal volcano, was incredible!
Liz, 3-night trip

Excellent Arenal Location

Wonderful location for a family stay around Arenal volcano. Extremely nice staff and just far enough off the beaten path to avoid crowds while still being close to it all.

The property and staff were absolutely amazing! The views are stunning. Dinner was so good and the upper heated pool is more like a hot tub. The spa services were equally amazing! I can’t wait to come back!
