Such a beautiful place. Our room was outstanding with an outdoor shower and jacuzzi. We could sit on the porch for hours and watch nature. The trail was amazing. The hotel is on a very steep property but carts were readily available to assist. All staff were amazing, pool and pool bar very nice. Good breakfast.

Lovely remote resort in a gorgeous natural setting. Friendly staff, excellent restaurant with reasonable pricing. I didn’t like having to pay $12/person to go on a nature walk, but it was a beautiful walk. The two pools next to the restaurant had an attractive design and one of them was heated such that was pleasant to hang out in for a long time. We would happily come back here.

Well appointed rooms with large patio area with view of the volcano. Lush, well landscaped grounds. Nice heated pool with swim up bar. Helpful and friendly staff. The only downside were the prices at th restaurant and value for the price. Food could be better and less expensive. Very close to Mistico Hanging Bridges, which is nice. Breakfasts are generally pretty good.

This was my first hotel in Costa Rica, and overall it left a great impression. The volcano view was beautiful, the staff were kind, and the room was large and spotless. The only small downside was the dinner. The price was high compared to the value, especially the steak, which I hope can be improved in the future.
