Property reflects its age. But it is still beautiful and friendly staff. They have an amazing staff serving breakfast. Their thermal pools are beautiful and I would go back to this hotel just for that one reason.

Overall, we loved this resort. First night in bad room located right next to construction/maintenance area and was very noisy. Do not stay in room 37! Hotel Mgr was very accommodating and upgraded us to a nicer and quieter room. Grounds are beautiful, and great view of Arenal volcano. Thermal springs (at least the top 2 pools) were lovely. Nice outdoor pool patio casual restaurant. Big breakfast buffet, all food was very good. I’d definitely recommend a stay here! And don’t miss Mistico Park which is near by!

The cottages are clean, spacious enough and nice. The multiple hot springs are super convenient to get to and are within the property. Staff is friendly and hospitable. Proximity to downtown La Fortuna is short and a highlight.
