The view was amazing. There’s four breakfast options all of which were ok. The staff was very friendly. There were some ants that would come into the room but they never went on the bed and did not bother me (your in the jungle what can you expect?).For the view and price it is definitely worth staying here.

We had a pleasant stay in this property, garden is well kept and Arenal volcano view is fantastic, the room was rustic but have AC, TV and Hot Water although it is missing a Safe (I removed 1 star because of this) I'd like to mention the reception lady (Ivannia) was very nice and helpful and always assisted us with all our needs..

Very unique interesting and nice hotel
Really nice hotel with a pleasing asthetic, rooms were mostly clean with few issues, we originally got the wrong room but staff were happy to switch us without issue. The pool could use more light as it was almost entirely dark by 5pm

Small, quiet place. Pretty landscaping. Friendly, helpful staff. Good breakfast. They contract with a few tour companies in the area. I signed up through the hotel to do three tours and had a great experience with all of them. (They provide pick up and return from the hotel which was very convenient as I was there without a car.) There is a parking lot if you do have a car.

Établissement au calme et proche de la nature. Il y a de nombreuses plantes et oiseaux en plus d'un petit sentier dans la foret. La piscine est bien appréciée des enfants! Les chambres sont juste correctes et manque de charme. Les blocs de 3 chambres sont très près les uns des autres et on entend bien les voisins. Le restaurant est OK, sans plus. Globalement le séjour est bien, mais ne correspond pas à la réputation de ce lieu que l'on voit dans les commentaires plus anciens.
