What a gorgeous property! There is a warm pool and regular pool with a swim up bar. Everything is surrounded by lush, beautiful rain forest. We saw so many different critters. Food was good and easily available if we didn't feel like driving back into La Fortuna. Would definitely stay there again.

Every room has view of Arenal Volcano. The evening we arrived our balcony looked out upon an incredible rain forest, we had no idea until the next morning and the clouds parted and there was the volcano.
The staff pick you up for meals or the pool in a golf cart. This hotel was the highlight of our trip.

This place is heaven! We had beautiful views of Arenal from our balcony and saw so many animals around the property. Everything is stunning. The heated pool is a big plus, as well as the nature trail which we took every day. The hotel is very close to Mistico hanging bridges. Although a bit far from La Fortuna, it’s absolutely worth staying in this peaceful escape.

The resort is very tranquil and peaceful, very close with nature.
Dining options are not great and we found the food bland tasting.
Could have better signage for getting around the resort.

Absolutely breathtaking property. Right in the middle of the rainforest. Very secluded resort, although it is literally next door to the Mistico hanging bridges. But other restaurants and towns are a 20 min drive.
Warm pool was perfect. Food was great. Hiking trails were very nice.

The grounds are beautiful with a hiking trail. There’s a hot pool, hot water for showers, a/c, and staff was super friendly. The breakfast could have been better but it was just okay. The dinner options are good and the food was great. Excellent place to stay near La Fortuna

This resort was beautiful, and had a great view of the volcano as well as proximity to the hot springs & national park. My only cons are the bugs in the actual room itself (which is understandable), and how pricey the services are for laundry.
