Reviews and Ratings
Waking up to the breathtaking view of the volcano was unbelievable. The room was spacious enough for all five of us, making our stay truly comfortable. The staff went above and beyond, making our experience incredibly welcoming. The location offered spectacular views of the Arenal Volcano and the activities kept us entertained. The dining options were great, especially the homemade Belgian waffles.
My stay at the hotel was simply amazing! The rooms were gorgeous and very clean, offering a spacious layout with an amazing view of the Arenal volcano. Though there was some construction going on this year, the overall experience was spectacular. Just a note that the room I stayed in was separate from the main lodge where the springs were located.
The hotel offers fancy and nice rooms, various restaurant options which are actually good, and clean and nice springs. The rooms are massive with large showers and jacuzzi tubs, providing a direct view of Arenal, which was a lovely treat from the porch. The exceptional rooms are complemented by breathtaking views.
The hotel offers rooms with big bathrooms and balconies providing amazing views of the volcano. These rooms feature private Jacuzzis and pools with secluded views of the volcano, valley, and rainforest, all at a relative bargain. The service, from the chef to the staff, is incredibly friendly and helpful, creating an enjoyable atmosphere. The location, in a beautiful forest with views of the Arenal Volcano, is fabulous. The dining experience is delicious, especially the freshly made eggs, omelettes, and pancakes by the chef. The facilities are top-notch, complementing the overall stay.
