Amazing location - out in jungle living amongst the animals. We saw tons of birds, and other wildlife and had an amazing view to the Arenal volcano. Staff was helpful and friendly and the pool was nice and hot. The restaurant and breakfast was okay, but not as good as the other things.

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The room was very nice and comfortable, but what truly stood out was the staff going above and beyond to make my son’s birthday special. Per my request, they arranged a cake for him, which meant so much to us. The staff was incredibly helpful, attentive, and communication was excellent throughout our stay. The food at the restaurant was very good, but the absolute highlight,the best of the best was the breathtaking view of the volcano. Truly unforgettable.

What a perfect natural oasis with spacious beautifully situated bungalow style accommodation and an open air restaraunt looking out on the stunning Arenal Volcano. Sloths , toucans and other wildlife right on our doorstep. Set well back from the main road. Quiet and peaceful. We loved it.

A beautiful setting with flowering plants, birds and butterflies. Clean with very friendly staff. The one draw back was our room was very close to the restaurant so that we had no wifi (my guess it was supposed to connect with the router at the restaurant but it didn't ). I could stand outside other cabanas and log in... First world problem. Otherwise quiet and nice. La Fortuna is a crazy busy town so you really can't walk from this hotel anywhere as the roads are narrow and cars are a bit fast.

We had a wonderful stay here with our 5 teenage/young adult children. I was skeptical that the views and the rooms were as great as the pictures, but they were even better. We had two villas near each other for 7 people and had plenty of space. The location is private, yet a short Uber drive to La Fortuna. The food at the restaurant was great, though not a huge variety. There is AC in the rooms, which wasn't obvious from the listing, but much appreciated. The staff was wonderful. Everyone was so friendly, attentive, and helpful. If I had any criticism, it is that there are no loungers at the pool, only chairs. And yeah, it rained pretty hard on a couple of days. Overall, it was the perfect choice of hotel for us and I highly recommend it.
