We really enjoyed our stay. The resort is really beautiful. Amazing views. The property is really wonderful. The food was definitely not at the same caliber as the resort. That was disappointing. In our room we could hear every single word being spoken next door. Not very pleasant.

Beautiful resort. Wish we had stayed longer. Staff everywhere were extremely friendly. We had a a 2nd floor deluxe room which faced the volcano but was partially obscured by a tree. No big deal. Still an amazing view. Food at the restaurant was very good but there wasn't much Costa Rican variety. Pool and the bar were great. My only issue was that they wouldnt exchange any US currency to Costa Rican. Also keep in mind that this resort is about a 20 minute drive from La Fortuna.

We had the most awesome view of Mt Arenal!! We were out in the jungle and the birds abounded!! It was a steep walk to our room, but there were golf cart or shuttle transport to wherever you wanted to go on the property. Our massage was awesome as well and we loved the hot pool and bar!!
