The location was beautiful with an incredible view of the volcano and surrounding landscape. The gardens were great for seeing wildlife and birds. The staff was kind and attentive and the breakfast options were delicious. The one working hot tub was so relaxing. Our room was clean and huge although a little dated. The driveway to the property was rough, but it was part of the adventure and we saw wild pigs, coati and lots of birds along the drive. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return!

Great place. Highly recommend one of the cabin on the hill. The view of the volcano is breathtaking and being able to see it from your room’s window is priceless. Also, the place is kept very clean and the restaurant serves very good food at affordable prices. Overall it was a very good experience

The place truly grows on you. While the property is a bit dated, the people more than make up for it with their warmth and helpfulness. We stayed in a chalet overlooking the volcano, and on a clear day the view was simply enviable. The breakfast staff goes out of their way to make mornings pleasant, and the front desk team is consistently friendly and supportive, contributing greatly to a comfortable and enjoyable stay

My family and I stayed for 3 nights in one of the chalets recently and enjoyed our stay. The grounds are beautiful and the view from the chalet and the pool area was stunning. The hotel is about 20-30 mins outside of La Fortuna so a bit inconvenient if you don’t have a car rental as there are no restaurants around except for at the hotel (which was okay). The views and the grounds made up for this inconvenience. Front desk and restaurant staff were very friendly. I would consider returning.

Everything was great! The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because the beds are very uncomfortable. Besides that all else was good!

the property was nice but the road from the hotel gate to the room was not well maintained the hotel can use some TLC. our room was nice but we could hear our next door neighbor when they spoke. The hiking trails around the property were nice.

This hotel in on a mountain 2 km uphill on a paved but old road, although I saw sedans I don’t know how they made it. We were glad we rented a 4x4 that’s what I recommend. Also try to get there before dark due to the steep uphill super curvy 2 km road. Although hotel is old (probably oldest in the area) it’s very clean , rooms are big and comfortable. It’s on a beautiful mountain with great views . The horse riding on site is a most! Decent breakfast, friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you’re into rustic stays and nature.

Always a pleasure staying here. The view when it's not foggy is awesome. Please don't hold the hotel responsible if you don't get to see the view. It's the weather. The rooms are gorgeous. I've stayed here half a dozen times and love it. The people are always wonderful The only negative that I have is the breakfast seems to have gone downhill. Which was a shame because it used to be delicious. The ride from the entrance gate to the actual reception is up a very long steep dark windy hairpin road. But I love that it's part of the adventure. Going up when it's dark could be a little scary but again part of the adventure that I love which is why I keep going back.
