Riads in Cantón Abangares

"The breakfast window is very short and early (6:30-8:30) but they offered 3 options which were all good. The property was absolutely beautiful with a view of the Arenal Volcano. "

"The property was so beautiful and peaceful, the staff was so friendly and knowledgeable and had many great recommendations for how to best see and experience the area. I would go back again in a heartbeat!"

"Absolutely Phenomenal Resort! I loved everything about my stay and I look forward to visiting again! The food and people were amazing!!"

"The place is very well laid out, with many accessible trails. However, the meals are expensive compared to other lodges we've visited. The location is excellent for birdwatching; there's a bird feeder installed, which is a real plus. However, the feeder is made of metal rods, which isn't very aesthetically pleasing for photography. It would be beneficial to redesign the feeder to incorporate natural branches, as other lodges do, which would allow for much better bird photos."

"Big room. Busy but hot thermal pools. Great breakfast spread. Drive up to the lake inside the property, viewpoint to see Arenal"

"Excellent breakfast, staff, great pools/springs. Really perfect. "

"This is a beautiful property overlooking the valley, and the bungalow had such a nice setup for a family wirh 2 kids. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, but notably the setup is to contact them through WhatsApp, with availability from morning to evening - so it’s not immediate or 24 hour support like a hotel. The pool is tiny but very sweet. The restaurant is beautiful and really a necessary amenity, bc the town is down a winding dirt road and then another 10 minutes after that. We had a couple restaurant mishaps (no eggs at breakfast, no coffee at breakfast, the meal took an hour to arrive), and the meals weren’t great, but we were grateful to sit in a nice place with a gorgeous view. Everyone is very accommodating, and we could have had dinner delivered to the bungalow too. Overall, this place is up and coming, as they build more bungalows, a real pool, some spa services, and get a reception desk going. It was real value for the money in the mean time, and I enjoyed the space, staff, and proprietor, but it’s not yet the resort experience that you may find elsewhere."

"Great"

"Property doesnt offer much more than just a pool and 1 restaurant. No other activities or shows. No area for kids to play. No night time activities. Property sits further away from all the restaurants and shops, so you would need to get an uber every time."
