This was a great resort to stay in. The room was reasonably priced and comfortable. The drinks and food were cheaper than anticipated at a resort but was better tasting than some restaurants I visited on this trip. The pools are super relaxing and there's so many. It's easy to find a nook to yourself. I'd return to this location again.

Great hotel, comfortable rooms, fabulous pool complex, easy parking, on site food options. Multiple pools including varying degrees of hot springs, and natural pools, swim up bar, etc. Ideal location for activities including coffee/chocolate tours, hanging bridges, La Fortuna waterfall, tubing, etc. La Fortuna is 10 minutes away in an Uber which is cheap and efficient and has lots of bars and restaurants. Loved this hotel and the area

I loved the set up of the hotel. It was quaint enough to feel small and intimate yet it was a really large property with two cold poles with two slides for the kids, which was super fun. The variety of hot spring pools was really fun to go and test out and move around. The rooms were really nice and updated. The staff was really kind. It was a great place and I’d love to go back.
