Beautiful hotel
We were passing through the area staying at the hotel for one night, so sadly we didn’t get to enjoy all it had to offer. The hotel restaurant served wonderful pizza and pasta, the grounds were stunning and the room was comfortable. Thanks for a memorable night!

In spite of the fact that the clouds were low and glimpsing the volcano was limited to a small percentage, the grounds were beautiful with varied plant life laid out well. It was wonderful to begin the day looking out on so much beauty. Every breath was filled with peace and beauty

Its absolutely mystical property. The staff were exceptional. So friendnly and caring. The daily breakfast was one of the best i have had. The natural pool was a daily stop for me and my kids. We sat on the outside chairs and enjoyed the amazing breeze and lake arenal views. On a clear night we would watch stars. It was soo relaxing.

Staff was great. Grounds were beautiful, room was clean. Only problem we had was that the internet in our building was not working. I complained about it to 2 people the afternoon we arrived and one more the next morning for breakfast. To our knowledge, nothing was ever done since it never worked in our building and no one ever checked if it was working or if we had any issues. We were there three nights!!

Le personnel est attentionné. Chaque soir il font un petit feu dans le salon. De bon vin Italien. Le domaine est propice pour le détente. Petit inconvénient nous avions l’habitation dans la jungle et celle-ci se trouve prêt des éloniennes. Le mouvement rotatif de celles-ci peut être dérangeant.

Great place on west side of lake
We choose this location due to it being on the western side of Lake Arenal. Hotel is in a beautiful hillside location with a view of the lake and volcano (when not cloudy). Land is landscaped and mature grounds with lots of fruit trees, flowering trees, bushes etc. It has an outdoor "pool" but is small but still lovely. We did have an issue with mosquitoes near it so we couldn't enjoy it. Our hostess was so friendly and helpful and spoke English well. We were there during low season and were the only guests we were aware of. They still provided dinner and breakfast for us as our hostess called in staff just for us! The dinners we had were all wonderful - pastas, seabass, chicken in white wine and a homemade pizza. We ordered from the menu ahead of time and the staff made sure they could prepare them - talk about going above and beyond. We did pay for these meals but breakfast was provided in room rate and was also delicious - fresh fruits, homemade bread and jam, eggs and gallo pinto. Rooms are all part of a connected building with large front patios all facing the lake. Lots of hammocks and chairs to sit outside and enjoy surroundings Our room was for 4 - double bed and bunk bed. Bathroom had update large shower. Our only issue was there is no air conditioning - just a large open, screened window and a ceiling fan. We were all a bit uncomfortable sleeping due to heat. Area windy and surrounding area has large wind turbines which some may not like.

Beautiful relaxing property and Barbara (the owner) took great care of us! I would highly recommend this property for a relaxing, “zen” type of vacation experience. The food was good (pasta is made fresh in house), the stone splash pool was beautiful, and the walking trails are full of monkeys and other amazing wildlife.

An idyllic place for a getaway
The setting for the hotel is idyllic and it is the perfect place for a quiet getaway. The property has beautiful landscaping and a spectacular view of Lake Arenal. A porch outside each room has comfy chairs and a hammock that are the perfect places to soak in the beautiful surroundings. Rooms have no TV or Wifi, but Wifi is available in the main building, where there are quiet places to sit and use Wifi if you choose. The main building also has a cozy fireplace with a sitting area. The menu in the restaurant was limited but everything we ate was excellent and inexpensively priced. The staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. Recommendations they offered for activities outside the property were fabulous. The masseuse was outstanding. Although hotels.com says that the property does not have a front desk, they certainly do. One only need call to make arrangements if arriving after 9pm.
