We didn't get the villa we had reserved/ paid for. The gardens have real potential, the pool is nice, parking secure and the staff great! Breakfast was a typical but a bit disappointing buffet. Dinners however were a pure waste of money - you're better off getting a sandwich or snacks at the pool. The place looks like it had had its day and slowly over the years deteriorating. The gardens under maintained and especially away from the reception and restaurant just kind of junky and weedy looking. Building aren't kept up very well - real potential, over priced for condition, and again the restaurant is a waste - eat out.

This was a great hotel for us. Traveled with my family of 3 and stayed in the villa. The room was very clean and comfortable. Good AC. Had a nice view of the volcano even though it was overcast and rained everyday. Staff was very polite, helpful, and replied to requests almost immediately. Pool was beautiful. Restaurant and breakfast were very good. Safe and quiet. Would definitely stay here again.

The staff were great, although it was unfortunate to have a weed wacker running outside your room when you are trying to relax in the lounge chairs on the porch. The views were amazing, and the food was delicious at breakfast and dinner.

Amazing location - out in jungle living amongst the animals. We saw tons of birds, and other wildlife and had an amazing view to the Arenal volcano. Staff was helpful and friendly and the pool was nice and hot. The restaurant and breakfast was okay, but not as good as the other things.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very nice and comfortable, but what truly stood out was the staff going above and beyond to make my son’s birthday special. Per my request, they arranged a cake for him, which meant so much to us. The staff was incredibly helpful, attentive, and communication was excellent throughout our stay. The food at the restaurant was very good, but the absolute highlight,the best of the best was the breathtaking view of the volcano. Truly unforgettable.
