If you have young kids and want to explore nature without crowds this is the best place. There is swimming in the creek with a water slide. Pool with a water slide and hot springs. The nature tour was so good and we saw so much wildlife at our hotel for free! Very relaxed vibe and we felt like the only guests. It’s a 25 min drive from La Fortuna but honestly so worth it. Definitely one of my favorite hotels we have ever stayed at.

I would definitely stay here again. The customer service was excellent and very accommodating. My only minor complaint was that the food provided by the hotel didn't serve local dishes, the menus definitely catered to foreigners. I would have preferred to eat their local cuisine.
