Clean room, older property, camp style grounds. Perfect place to feel like we were back in childhood. It had vibes like we were in our youth. Beautiful landscaping, walkable to town, restaurants, shopping and everything you need. Friendly staff and great breakfast included.
Every thing was excellent. Clean rooms, courteous and helpful staff, fantastic location giving a good clear view of the Arenal volcano (weather permitting).
Enjoyed the stay.
Staff were friendly and room was clean. Lot of greenery in the area. But no Wi-Fi at the rooms which was a problem to contact tour operators as needed.
The staff was great but honestly no wifi anywhere but at a restaurant area and the checkin lodge area. The cabins were quaint and the ac worked great. Breakfast was decent.
Conveniently located and friendly staff! Peaceful place with mountain view. Bathroom vanity probably needs an upgrade, would have been nice to have a functional TV for young kids.Breakfast was good!

Very clean place. The cabines are very rustic and not soundproof. But, it’s a good value for money as it’s walking distance to a lot of things.
The property is only a 5 minute walk from town. It’s clean and the staff were all welcoming. The cabanas are big, the bathroom a good size. However they do need to be updated. The bedroom and bathroom are tiled so be careful when it’s newly mopped because it’s slippery. No soap was available, just shampoo. Wish they had more outlets for our gadgets. Overall it’s good value for your money
Rhe gardens are incredible and the Volcano views, good environment on the pool but will be awesome if they fix the other one, great breakfast, would have liked a later check out but still a really good place will definetely visit again
Fantastic property! Close enough to La Fortuna activities, yet away from the busy streets in downtown. Breakfast was great, more than many other hotel options. 2 days of rain so we didn't have volcano views but our stay with our daughters was great!
-the staff at the reception were very friendly
-the grounds were amazing, view of the Arenal Volcano was awesome
-easy walk to the downtown area with wonderful restaurants and shops

The staff was very polite and courteous. The breakfast was awesome. I had a great time. I will come back again.❤️
All great. Just took one star away because the pool was closed for a whole day for cleaning and the pool was one reason way we picked it.
Location is perfect to walk into town.
