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.

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

2/10 Poor

Dark, Dank, & Dangerous.
Worst experience in Costa Rica. Nasty and uninviting. No view. Lamp globes full of dead bugs. Horrible shower with steps. Asked for a different room. No one even responded. Entrance not drivable. So much more that otels.com won't print

10/10 Exceptional

This hotel was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. The staff were incredibly nice and would check up with us whenever we ran into them. They were extremely accommodating to our needs and also helped us plan different activities. Overall amazing stay but just keep in mind that walking up the road to the hotel is intense and you should probably have some sort of transportation going up!

Chalet gives an AMAZING view of the Arenal mtn
Ketan, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The views are spectacular. I wasn’t expecting to be able to look out of my window and have such a clear view of the volcano. It was really amazing. We did not have hot showers during our stay and that was the only downfall. The front desk staff said that it was not a normal occurrence.
Brandy, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

A must see!
The hotel was amazing along with the staff. The grounds and views were beautiful! An authentic beautiful place. The view from our junior suite was the best I’ve seen in Costa Rica. And the massages in the spa were fantastic.
View from room 308- a junior suite for a great price!
Another sunrise from my veranda in my room.

A little hard to get to. Beautiful view, if no rain (unfortunately there was down pouring when I was there). Kind of remote place.
