I had a mixed experience at this hotel. While I loved the hot springs and the spacious, comfortable rooms with a great view of the volcano from the veranda, I felt like the place was a little run down and needed some upkeep. The hotel was overall fine, but there were some areas that could be improved.

Rooms

I enjoyed relaxing in the hot springs and found the rooms spacious and comfortable, offering a nice view of the volcano from the veranda. However, at night, it was too dark as there were only a few lights that weren't particularly pleasant.

Service

6.0

The service was friendly, but it didn't quite meet the high standards we experienced at a previous hotel. The staff did their best, especially the manager, but it wasn't as welcoming as we had hoped for. It felt like the service was above average for a 3-star hotel.

Location

8.0

The location was a bit strange, with staff looking tired at times, but it was convenient to explore various tours. If you have a car or transportation, it's fine as it's close to everything you'd want to see and do, including the Arenal Volcano and hot springs.

Dining

6.0

The dining experience was hit or miss. While the food was fine and plentiful, it leaned towards the simpler side. It would have been better with more variety and better presentation. On the bright side, the homemade ice cream was a delightful treat.

Facilities

5.0

Overall, the facilities were decent, but there were some maintenance issues like frayed towels, torn tablecloths, and poor lighting in the rooms. The hotel could benefit from some upgrades and refurbishments.

I stayed at this hotel and found it to be in a great location, close enough to town but far enough to be peaceful. The rooms, while in need of renovation, offered a beautiful view of the volcano and were spacious with essential amenities. The service was a mixed bag, with friendly and helpful staff but some issues with attentiveness. Dining was decent but lacked some basics like a toaster. Overall, a good stay with a few areas that could be improved.

The hotel offers beautiful views of the volcano and wildlife, with clean and private rooms that are adorned with rocking chairs on the patio. However, the rooms are a bit outdated and small for families.

United Kingdom, April 2024

7.6/10

My stay at the hotel was a mix of privacy and noise, as the bungalow-style room felt very secluded but was affected by outside sounds. The room definitely needs some updating, though the private layout was nice. The service was a bit hit or miss, with some attentive moments but also instances where I had to request basic items. The location was stunning, surrounded by tropical plants and wildlife, including a rare sloth sighting, with the Arenal volcano adding to the picturesque setting. Dining was a pleasant surprise with fresh options, although some disorganization was noted.

Rooms

Despite the privacy due to the cabin layout, the room felt outdated and in need of renovations. The glass pane doors and windows provided a nice touch but couldn't block out all the noise.

I had a great stay at this hotel with fantastic views of Arenal Volcano. The location was perfect, with great rocking chairs facing the volcano. The rooms were really nice, offering great views and beautiful landscaped grounds, although could be labeled a little more clearly for easier navigation. The service was a bit lacking when it came to responsiveness and courtesy, but they eventually sorted out the issues. The hotel's location is well maintained, but can get damp at times. The dining options were good but could use more variety. Overall, a pleasant stay with a few minor hiccups.

The hotel definitely needs a complete remodel, but looking out over good views and having a full view of the volcano popping its head out through the clouds during our stay was a pleasant surprise. The rooms could use better lighting, more comfortable bed pillows, blankets, and an update in the baths.

The location offers the convenience of not having to leave the resort for hot springs experiences, but being on a major highway can be noisy and lacks a great view.

Freddie

United Kingdom, December 2023

6.2/10

The hotel feels more like a cabin in the woods than a luxury resort, with its outdated Swiss ski chalet look. The power sockets were inconveniently placed, and the overall room appearance was not very appealing. Despite this, the service had its charming moments, although some interactions weren't the friendliest. The location, right in front of the Arenal Volcano, is perfect for day trips, yet some areas needed renovations. The dining offered a delicious Costa Rican traditional breakfast but was a bit on the simple side. Facilities were fine, though nothing extraordinary.

Rooms

The rooms had power sockets in inconvenient places and were generally not very nice, resembling a 1970s Swiss ski chalet with lots of timber.
