Our family of four, parents and two teens (16 and 14), had a great time! The property is beautiful, and the view of the volcano is outstanding. Our superior room had 2 queen beds and was comfortable with excellent A/C. We enjoyed trying out the different thermal pools and the regular swimming pool, moving from hot to cool, cool to hot, trying to figure out why different ones were empty on different days? They are much nicer in person than in the pictures! We enjoyed the casual restaurant by the pool more than the formal dining. The breakfast buffet had many options, but was better on the second day; the first day they seemed to stop refilling things after 8:30am. Most of the staff we encountered were very friendly and helpful, the only exception being one (of the three) towel ladies who was repeatedly very unfriendly for no discernible reason. Overall we would recommend this resort and we would stay here again.

Great hotel in a great location

Incredible hotel located in the perfect part of town. The rooms are all separate and the pools and thermal pools are easily accessible and not too crowded. The thermal pools are all on site and all different temperatures so itā€™s easy to find one thatā€™s exactly that you want. The staff are super friendly and the restaurant and bar are great. No noise problems at all. If you have a car, Parking is available right outside your door or in the lot at the entrance if you have multiple. You can see the volcano from every part of the resort. Definitely recommend.

Fantastic time

My recent stay at your resort was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning views ā€“ they were breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing vacation. Beyond the picturesque scenery, the resort's amenities were first-rate and I made full use of them throughout my stay. However, what truly set this experience apart was the extraordinary service I received from your staff. Everyone I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and create lasting memories. I want to specifically commend Laura, the property manager, who was phenomenal. Her dedication to providing exceptional service was evident in every interaction. Her attentiveness and professionalism made a significant contribution to the overall positive experience. Thank you again for a wonderful stay; I highly recommend your resort and will certainly be returning in the future.

Great location but needs updates

Beautiful location, view of the volcano, hot springs were great. Location was great. Staff was ok friendly, but not overly. Beds/pillows were very comfortable. But for $400 a night, this place needs updates/repairs in all thier rooms, entrance, lobby, etc.

Pros are they have hot springs in the property with a beautiful view of the Arenal volcano in all rooms. Property is well maintained with beautiful landscape and tropical plants. They have a wet bar, swimming pool and good dining options. Breakfast buffet is good. Cons are the rooms are old and dated and need better lighting and felt a little cramped for space. Suggest looking for a villa if you are traveling with a large family

Our experience was amazing!! The resort was beautiful and all the employees were very friendly and helpful. Our family of 4 stayed in one room and were very comfortable. The tv stations were in Spanish only so that was the only negative I could say about it. Highly recommend it.

The grounds are beautiful and view of the volcano once the clouds cleared was amazing. Great breakfast. Shuttle service in the rain was great. Seemed understaffed however and a few things needed repair.

We liked the overall grounds and hot springs. The staff was very good. However, it needs updating. The last night for dinner we ate early and it was raining. We were seated right under a roof leak, in a near empty dining room. But the food was great and our desserts to go were presented artistically.

The grounds and views of the volcano were amazing. The villa was spacious and comfortable. We did have a leak after heavy rains and reported it but never heard back. A TV viewable from the couch would be nice and lower priced food options in the snack bar would be good. The hot springs were relaxing. Beautiful property.
