The rooms were very clean and well taken care of. The water pressure was weak and the hot water was not very hot. Luckily we enjoyed the thermal pools to warm up in the cool weather. The staff at all encounters were friendly and gave wonderful service. The food at the pool bar and indoor restaurant did not disappoint and was less expensive than restaurants we enjoyed around the area.

Overall, a great property with a great experience for families, but the front desk staff are not trained to handle a large volume of tourists so plan accordingly. I would suggest a minimum of 3 nights for good experience of the resort.

The cottage was small, but cozy. Very well done landscape, well maintained. Fantastic breakfast.
Service was good.
Hotspring was pretty useless. Only the very top one had real naturally hot water.

The location is excellent, and the highlight of the resort is definitely the hot springs—very convenient and relaxing! The breakfast and restaurant were also great. The only downside (and sometimes a noticeable one) is the interior. It felt quite old-fashioned (not in an antique way), and the washroom was very basic with older-style fixtures like the faucet and shower. Still, we really enjoyed the hot springs and the food!

Our superior room had a perfect view of the volcano. Breakfast options were plentiful and delicious. The hot spring pools are stunning and there are so many different ones to try! Grins are kept beautifully tidy. The swim up bar (warm water) was a memorable evening activity. Staff were helpful and friendly. The location outside town feels like a true retreat, within easy driving distance of Arenal, Mistico, sloth tours, other termales. We would come back!
