Very Good

My family of 4 with a toddler stayed in Apt 104. The accommodation was well appointed, very clean and the view from the balcony was great. The hotel is a bit dated (still) but the staff are very friendly, we enjoyed the pool. It was a lovely stop and 2 night stay.

We were greeted and shown to our rooms which were spotless. Everyone was super friendly and kind.
Wonderful place to stay. It is in a rural setting over looking the lake. It was fun to stay right at the brewery. Lots of wildlife hanging out in the area. Food was very good. The owner was around and very friendly. He even joined us for breakfast to continue to have a conversation. Highly recommend staying here
Great stay for 6 days nights. Great friendly staff and the food and beer are solid. Fabalous view of lake arenal. The grounds are hilly and steep in some places, but couple of very nice trails. Lots of animals: dogs, cows, goats etc which for me is always welcome. The owner J.P. is a riot and great to talk to. Wealth of knowledge about the area and Costa Rica in general.
We love this property, spent all day here and had a great night sleep, there are trails through the jungle, great beer and wonderful breakfast. Also, pool with Hot Tub and Pickleball courts such a cool place with views of the lake.
What a unique place. Really cool landscape. The view is perfection. Food was fantastic. Beer was fantastic. It is such a unique place. We did really enjoy our time there, though short. Would have been an epic place 20 years ago when the skate park, tennis courts, arcade game, and air hockey were all in usable condition. Servers were nice, the beer was great, the food was amazing, and the restaurant views were so cool.

Amazing location overlooking the lake with beautiful grounds and over 1.5km of trails through woods and farmland. Saw lots of birds, and some brown frogs in the water feature out front. Enjoyed then jacuzzi and breakfast cooked to order Rooms could have used some attention - grotty toilet seat and cracked sink. Expensive food and served very overcooked fries which cost a small fortune.

Absolutely awful place, worst ‘hotel’ I have ever stayed in. So so run down, dogs running around, room has one window which is directly on the corridor so people can see in as they walk past. Uncomfortable beds and dirty. Good reviews must be bots.
