Great place to stay.

A beautiful location off the beaten path. Spectacular view of Arenal volcano. Super friendly staff. Excellent restaurant. Highly recommended.

Absolutely gorgeous property!
Kelly, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The hotel and staff were great, it was very quiet and a great view of the volcano. Little further out from town but worth it if you want a quieter stay.
Jessica, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Incredible gardens and when the skies clear, the most beautiful view of Arenal!
William, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful quaint hotel. "Old world, colonial" feel. Nestled in the mountains, stunning volcano view. Challenging access road for late arrival
David, 2-night trip

I would recommend this property to everyone! This was a great experience. We will be back
Stephanie, 3-night trip

The property was amazing! It’s in a quiet and beautiful location with stunning views of Arenal Volcano and the rainforest. It really felt like a peaceful escape into nature.
Niorka, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Scenic views

Scenic views of lake, sunrise, volcano; location were amazing! Don’t miss the birds at breakfast. I like the location because it was quiet and a short drive to the Arenal National Park. The room was very clean and comfortable, plenty of blankets, pillows, and towels. The kitchen was nice. Restaurant was excellent.
Lorie, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The property was nice. I liked the hot tubs and pool for the kids. The restaurant was convenient and loved the included breakfast. The staff would leave fruit scraps out for the birds in the morning and it was lovely to watch the birds at breakfast.
Cody, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Super cool hotel. The entry drive is pretty crazy at first and it takes a while to get to the hotel up the mountain, but once you are up there - WOW! Nice place with a nostalgic feel. Really enjoyed visiting with my family and will be back again! Thank you
John, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Quite and serene place in the middle of the rain forest. Spotted a family of white nose coaties. Large family suite was great.
Mohan, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful view of the volcano. Great Pina coladas.
Melissa, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The jungle trail on the property was great. We saw a lot of wildlife and plants. The food at the lodge was very good and breakfast included was delicious. We stayed in the Chalet and had amazing views. Overall the property was great but highly recommend checking in during the day due to the 2km drive off the main road to the property.
Michael, 6-night trip

8/10 Very good

Beautiful area. Views are amazing. Walking from our room to the lodge in the dark was difficult. Could use some small lights to light the path.
Audrie, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The drive up to the hotel is very long, windy, and not in the best condition. Friendly staff and rooms have amazing view of the volcano. Complimentary breakfast and free WiFi.
Ashley, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

It was very quiet and beautiful, and the staff were kind and helpful. The room was a good size and it was nice having a seating area at the front patio. However, the room was dark and there was no fan in the bathroom, so our room felt damp alot of the time.
Paula, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Amazing stay, outstanding breakfasts!
Sherry, 3-night trip

Boris, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful property up in the clouds. On clear days you can see the lake. Staff was excellent, front desk was very helpful with recommendations and best ways to see the area. The property is well kept for its age. The major draw back is the road to the property is rough especially at night. There was absolutely no lighting for 2 km until you get up to the property itself
VALERIE, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We had a quick stay here so didn't get to enjoy many of the amenities. But the hot tub was nice and the restaurant food really good. Our rooms was charming. The only drawback was a huge rain storm overnight. We could understand hearing the rain on the roof, but there was something banging from the wind that kept us up a bit. Otherwise the hotel is in a great location to everything.
Laura, 1-night trip

8/10 Very good

Property was safe, relaxing and quiet and had a new view to the volcano.
Ashlery, 2-night trip
