Absolutely breathtaking property. Right in the middle of the rainforest. Very secluded resort, although it is literally next door to the Mistico hanging bridges. But other restaurants and towns are a 20 min drive. Warm pool was perfect. Food was great. Hiking trails were very nice.

The grounds are beautiful with a hiking trail. There’s a hot pool, hot water for showers, a/c, and staff was super friendly. The breakfast could have been better but it was just okay. The dinner options are good and the food was great. Excellent place to stay near La Fortuna

This resort was beautiful, and had a great view of the volcano as well as proximity to the hot springs & national park. My only cons are the bugs in the actual room itself (which is understandable), and how pricey the services are for laundry.

This was ana amazing place to stay. The property and surrounding area is magnificently beautiful, containing stunning landscape and trails. The breakfast was excellent and the service fantastic. Our air conditioner stopped working on the second day and they had it serviced and running within an hour. I would highly recommend this place.

This resort is fully in the rainforest and has an access to a trail you can hike anytime. You can see a large variety of birds right from your room balcony as well as have a chance to encounter other wildlife on the trail, like sloths and sometimes monkeys. The staff is friendly and willing to help and the rooms are very accommodating. The food is outstanding and the restaurant serves delicious steaks and meals throughout the day. The pools are small but during my stay there were only few people at the pool at a given time, so it wasn’t an issue. The Spa and treatment was very good too, you can spend as much time as you need to relax at the spa and it also has a sauna to help relax even more. Everything is close by and convenient. I absolutely loved my sat 5/5 stars for me!
