Staff was lovely, food was delicious and we only ordered room service from the restaurant, I’m sure it would have even been better if we ate in! Property was beautiful and the hot springs had wonderful views. Not over crowded.

Great location and views breakfast included was good. Rooms were well apportioned nothing fancy. We enjoyed the hot springs though a few weren’t open and some weren’t as warm as hoped for. Would recommend for location and staff was excellent!

The hotel was pretty and the thermal waters were super nice! The hot pools are small though so if there are too many people, it can feel crowded. Beds could be more comfortable, but overall we were happy with our stay.

Amazing stay. Our cottage had everything we needed, the breakfast was fantastic. But the thermal pools was the best part of our stay, so relaxing. We also booked a horse ride and it was by far the highly of our trip, our group rode on the Arenal river, unforgettable memories.

Food was not the best, plus the thermal water pool looked green and murky. It didn’t looked like the other thermal waters around the area. The room was nice but some how not well maintained. I found a spider web around the light next to the bed and bathroom mirror was little dirty on the first day. After that, the lady who cleaned the room did a great job on cleaning the room. The whole facility is beautiful.

Mineral hot springs
Wonderful view from our cabin. Mineral pools were very relaxing. Pool was good with lounge chairs in shaded area, complete with a big iguana rubbing around the deck. Their restaurant had good food at reasonable prices (most entrees were $15-25 range with some cheaper options and a few around $40). Resort is several miles outside of La Fortuna went on tours during day and enjoyed resort at night. Uber to town was $5 when we went to explore.
Very happy with our stay.

Nice stay in quiet nature
Had a lovely stay, our hut was so great, very quiet and comfortable, very friendly cleaning staff, they made us laugh a lot with their towel Figurines. Amazing breakfast, great restaurants and fantastic pool & termal area. Parking close to our hut worked perfectly. In terms of cleanliness all was good for us, we found that the bats left their droppings on the porch at night but we found this was part of the nature Adventure. We very much enjoyed our stay and can absolutely recommend.
