    great location
    peaceful area
    room maintenance

    Great location near local services and the beautiful lake. perfect for those wanting to explore nearby activities like canopying. The peaceful area is ideal for short stays.

    Rooms need some serious upgrades, showing age with poor cleaning details and inconsistent hot water availability. Expect extra costs for transportation since it's outside normal pick-up zones. Inadequate storage in rooms leaves guests living out of suitcases.

    amazing, amazing, amazing

    I just had a amazing two-night stay in a King Room with amazing views of the Arenal Volcano! The spacious room was adorned beautifully, and the large windows made the scenery lovely. Plus, the outdoor swimming pool and sun terrace were perfect for soaking in the fine surroundings.

    would recommend 😊❤️

    amazing view
    spacious room
    clean accommodation
    poor internet
    lack of pillows

    The King Room was spacious, and we had an amazing view of the volcano. Everything felt clean and well-maintained. The balcony was a nice touch. One downside was that the internet barely worked, which was a bit frustrating. Also, we could've used more pillows for comfort.

    beautiful scenery
    peaceful area
    spotty internet

    We had an awesome time exploring nearby activities like kayaking and windsurfing. The beautiful scenery was perfect for relaxing with friends. The hotel area is peaceful, and the restaurants nearby were convenient. Just a 30-minute drive to the tourist spots, but it felt nice to unwind away from the crowd.

    One downside was the spotty internet. it barely worked, which made planning our outings a bit tough.

    welcoming staff
    outdoor pool
    pricey restaurant

    The views of the lake and volcano were absolutely breathtaking! Staff was super welcoming, and I loved the outdoor pool for relaxing after daily adventures.

    The restaurant felt a bit pricey for what you got, and I wished there were more options on the menu.
