Very Good
All reviews shown are from real guest experiences. Only travelers who have booked a stay with us can submit a review. We verify reviews according to our guidelines and publish all reviews, positive or negative.
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.
Our first visit to Costa Rica, We could not have chosen a better hotel. Very close to many attractions. Clean, well maintained bungalows with excellent food in the restaurants. Fantastic views of the volcano, as well.
Our double qn room was clean and very comfortable. The mini fridge was a nice bonus. But the thermal pools were the hit of the stay! Varied in temperature, clean and beautifully situated amongst the garden vegitation with well lit paths (for evening soaks).
Staff are helpful and engaging. We would definitely stay again and recommend the hotel to friends and family. An incredible value for the price!
The cabin was very comfortable and clean.
The resort team was very friendly and helpful.
We enjoyed the hot spring pools.
The breakfast has a big food section.
We will recommend this resort to our friends.
Beautiful view of the volcano from the grounds and hot springs.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
The rooms were very clean and well taken care of. The water pressure was weak and the hot water was not very hot. Luckily we enjoyed the thermal pools to warm up in the cool weather. The staff at all encounters were friendly and gave wonderful service. The food at the pool bar and indoor restaurant did not disappoint and was less expensive than restaurants we enjoyed around the area.
