We had a family emergency, and the young man working the front desk could not have been any nicer. The rooms were comfortable, and clean. All around great experience. Thank you so much for all of your help.

The property is only a 5 minute walk from town. It’s clean and the staff were all welcoming. The cabanas are big, the bathroom a good size. However they do need to be updated. The bedroom and bathroom are tiled so be careful when it’s newly mopped because it’s slippery. No soap was available, just shampoo. Wish they had more outlets for our gadgets. Overall it’s good value for your money
Absolutely beautiful property! Our check in was friendly and fast. The individual little cabins were so cute! We had a very long travel day (2 days actually) so we sadly slept through breakfast both days. Property is very well maintained and clean. We would have liked more pillows but I’m sure we could have had them if we asked. Overall a great spot! We thought it was better than expected for the price.
Clean room, older property, camp style grounds. Perfect place to feel like we were back in childhood. It had vibes like we were in our youth. Beautiful landscaping, walkable to town, restaurants, shopping and everything you need. Friendly staff and great breakfast included.

Room was amazing. Breakfast was amazing. Only negative was the lack of wifi in the room.
Staff were friendly and room was clean. Lot of greenery in the area. But no Wi-Fi at the rooms which was a problem to contact tour operators as needed.
Nice little setup ….very basic, clean and very conveniently located. Easy walk to the city center for food. Reception very helpful with making reservations and suggestions.

Check in was ok, room was clean but missed few basic things in the room - drinking water and tissues. Breakfast was same but authentic Costa Rican
The breakfast was horrible. Pillows horrible.
My son also left his stuffy st the breakfast table and we went back to grab it and to think they would put it on the side. The girls working there just didn’t care and didn’t even care my son was crying.
Great room. Great location. Friendly and courteous staff.

Very clean place. The cabines are very rustic and not soundproof. But, it’s a good value for money as it’s walking distance to a lot of things.
Every thing was excellent. Clean rooms, courteous and helpful staff, fantastic location giving a good clear view of the Arenal volcano (weather permitting).
Enjoyed the stay.
