We stayed here about 9 years ago and chose to stay again. Our room was the type that has a 'backyard' with our own hot spring (think jacuzzi with a water fall feature, surrounded by plants and flowers, and heated by a volcano). The thermal forest and hot springs near the main pool were also amazing and a nice option between La Fortuna adventures, or when the rain forest is 'doing it's job' (aka raining). The hotel has also added a large covered area with sofas and comfy chairs and tables to allow for protection from the rain, but still to be outside and with views of the trees and plants.

The property grounds were beautifully kept and make for a nice stay. The thermal spa area and pools were great for the family after a long day of hiking the area. The breakfast provided was excellent and the staff was all very helpful and nice. The rooms are very basic and out dated, but when you're in the area, the rooms are not that important. Beds were comfortable and showers were hot. Also a short drive to area hoghlughts and La Fortuna.

The staff seem to be genuinely kind and caring people, from the front desk to the landscape staff and everyone in between. Can’t say enough about the property. The staff was helpful with scheduling activities, and no fault of theirs that the activity wasn’t as advertised. We rode horseback to the waterfall meaning we rode horses up one side of a mountain and had to walk down to the waterfall and back up, was told it was 400 steps and it was literally 9000, straight down and back up.

Do it!!! BOOK IT NOW!!!!
What an amazing experience from start to finish. We were a tad skeptic when we booked but the service and the rooms were amazing. Best breakfast you will have while down here guaranteed. They cook fresh omelettes and the food is fantastic. We don’t usually like all the food from hotels here but this one is in a class of its own

This was a beautiful property set a little way outside of town. The grounds were beautiful with a walking trail around the perimeter. We saw a mama and baby sloth and lots of birds on the property and the Hot Springs near the pool was a nice area to enjoy. Great stay and would stay here again.
