Stayed 4 nights in the Amatista villa. Beautiful views of the lake and a the volcano. Twice sure our stay after the rains vibrant rainbows would appear across the lake. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent restaurant on site for breakfast and dinner, breakfast was included with our stay. Found it to be very windy on that side of the lake but would definitely recommend for those looking for somewhere a little quieter but still fairly close to attractions.

I can't say enough wonderful things about this property! All I kept saying to the staff was that the photos and descriptions on the internet didn't do it justice! The grounds are absolutely gorgeous, it was like being transported to a magical garden land or something! I loved the property so much that I actually cancelled my full day excursion so I could have more time at the property. Everything is clean, well-taken care of, the food is delicious, and the staff and owner are so friendly and helpful! It's a wonderful place to relax, unwind, enjoy a beautiful view, and truly disconnect! If you have a lot of activities planned in La Fortuna, allow for about an hour to an hour and a half of drive time to get from Hotel Mystica into town.

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!

Barbara was AWESOME and gave us great suggestions for activities during our brief stay. My only suggestion is to offer a better coffee in the morning.

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.

2/10 Poor

Our flight was delayed and we couldn’t reach them by any means to change our reservation. I was terribly disappointed in the lack of customer service. It’s also a treacherous drive and I feel someone should have checked on us when we didn’t arrive.

Mystica es un remanso de paz y naturaleza, muy bien atendido y organizado, con un servicio excelente, una ubicación perfecta para descansar y disfrutar de las actividades del entorno. El restaurante es exquisito, cocina italiana de mucha calidad. Además la recomendaciones de su propietaria son siempre excelentes, buscando sitios fuera del bullicio de las zonas más turística.

Excelente lugar para desconectarse o conectarse con su pareja, podrías expresar esa parte amorosa y mística que hay dentro de cada uno de nosotros, la vista sobrenatural al despertar o another, la limpieza de de las sábanas y la disposición del personal a asistirte en lo que quieras. Recomiendo que vallas a Mystia a reconectar con tu ecemcia.

Muy bonito, buena ubicacion, buen servisio y actitud de los empleados. Para nuestro caso, fuimos para una actividad de ciclismo de montaña y habiamos muchos huespedes en el hotel que ibamos a lo mismo. Creo que el hotel no se preparó para esta actividad y faltó personal para el area de restaurante.

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!!
