Had high hopes for this property judging by reviews and photos, however it did not live up to our expectations. Its set up is ok but it all looks quite tired. The pool is not attractive but guess functional for little kids. The thermal baths were definitely not attractive or nice. Tried water of one and was cold. The decor in the bungalow was tired and not much room to walk so very difficult to put down your suitcases. Shower didn't drain properly which was in the end sorted by the staff. At times there was a drain smell outside the bungalow. The restaurant was quite odd in my opinion. Food very average but quite expensive. I guess this can be compared to a tired Center Parcs (for those who are familiar with that), so probably ok if you have (very) little kids, but for us it wasn't what we wanted.

Loved our stay. The place is kept beautifully, every one is very nice. There is one restaurant on premise, very good food. The big pool is refreshing, the hot springs are very cute. There are several sloths living in the property and the local guide was super helpful to show them to us. It was amazing to see them so close up. We stayed at la Iguana, real immersive experience and waking up in the morning in a quite and beautiful place was really nice. We had 2 kids under 10, and felt so safe. Also front desk was very helpful in providing information on tours and we ended up doing our own route as we had a rented car. We visited the volcano, around 35 to 40 min away. We all really loved our stay!

A MUST experience. Staying in the treehouse is unique without giving up comfort, the surrounding area is lush and filled with wildlife, the restaurant serves good food. Doing the afternoon tour with Victor was great, especially his knowledge of plants, animals, birds and love of gardening for the restaurant.

We had a wonderful time at Hotel Heliconias recently. Me and my two best friends came to celebrate my 50th birthday and we can't say enough good things about this hotel, the staff and the exceptional service. From the moment we arrived we were taken care of by Diego and Alejandro. Check in was seamless, the rooms were clean and well equipped, the breakfast was scrumptious and believe me when I say this was the best breakfast of our entire week in Costa Rica. The service was impeccable. Alejandro took care of booking all of our excursions and made sure we felt at home. The owner Omar made the effort to welcome us to the hotel and provided fresh coconut water for us at the pool. Diego went out of his way to make sure we were comfortable with our stay. This hotel is different. It is quiet, peaceful, surrounded by natural beauty and you feel at home. I would definitely come back here next time I am in Costa Rica. Thank you for making our stay very memorable and special.

Great Location

Overall we enjoyed our time at this place. Unfortunately, perhaps due to off season, we did not find several places around the resort closed, for example bar at the pool. There were construction going on around the resort, which also seemed unsightly. Cleaning service was not that great. Our room was not cleaned properly and we could find dirt and hair balls in the washroom and around the room. This was disappointing. Washroom could use some shelves to place our shampoo and stuff, we had place all that on the floor. Front office staff was very helpful and totally took care of us and for that we are grateful. Breakfast was included, but it was not that much. But the staff and management was very kind and allow us to orders extra portion and that was greatly appreciated. All in all, it is a good resort and I am sure that in main tourist season they would be much better in their ambiance and other services. Thank you for making our stay and memorable one. My family did have a very good time.
