The property is gorgeous, I loved my balcony view. The hotel is clean and well maintained. The pool was the perfect place to be after a long day of hiking in the rainforest. The only issue I had was with the hot tub on sight they were luke warm on the first day I asked a pool boy if it was possible to increase the temperature and within 45 mins the hot tubs were the perfect temperature. I was very please with how quickly the facility responded to my inquiry. The Buffet breakfast was amazing I looked forward to it every morning there was an array of different choices and a variety of options . The swim up bar was also a treat the bartender was really sweet. I had a few beers and ordered some nachos and was pleasantly surprised with how large the proportion was and it was delicious! Overall I truly enjoyed my stay, friendly staff about 15 min walk to town 10 min walk restaurants, and market. I would stay here again and highly recommend this facility.

Great location and food options. Hotel was clean with a lot to offer. Staff was helpful but not overly friendly. The pool was the let down. Toooo cold!! Could not use once. Only 1/2 hot tub worked which was a drawback. Oh a great massage

Excellent location! Walking distance to Fortuna town and very close to all the tourist spots in Arenal. The views of the volcano from the balcony are breathtaking and you are easily tempted to just spend your day on the balcony with this view. Great pool area and pool bar and resto, nice hot tubs, very good breakfast, very clean property (staff spotted cleaning the balcony ceilings). We had booked a more expensive property which had its own hot springs but we're glad we canceled and booked here instead. Everything you need with a better location, great view and an Uber ride away from a day pass to the many hot springs. Highly recommend!
