“The resort's proximity to Arenal Volcano gives it dramatic views and a natural feel; its many small hot spring pools are relaxing, but a persistent noise marred the experience for some. With a bit of attention to the sound issues, it could be an excellent family escape. The staff, thankfully, earn high praise for their kindness and helpfulness.”

wonderful pools and great volcano views

beautiful hotelvolcano viewquick shuttle

the hotel is beautiful with many different pools at varying temperatures. the swim-up bar was a fun experience with affordable drinks (i loved the cocktails!). the view of the volcano was indeed amazing. the shuttle service around the resort was quick and convenient, and the drivers were nice.

Location

the hotel's location is quite convenient, a short drive from town, placing it at the foot of the majestic volcano. the thermal pools are fine and never felt overcrowded, even when day visitors were present (i appreciated that).

Dining

10/10

the food was delicious, and the breakfast had many options, including local and international foods. the pool restaurant had yummy food, and the 'chifrijo' in the main bar in the evening was great (especially with a cold beer!).

adequate stay, some disappointments

breakfast buffetunreliable shuttle servicechild behaviour

the breakfast buffet was acceptable, i guess.

Our room was far from the main facilities. A 15-minute uphill walk was required. the shuttle service was unreliable and inconsistent, often passing us by. i saw children running around unsupervised near the pools and hot springs. A child even relieved himself on the lawn, right in front of us!!!

the volcano was right there, a very nice view. i drove to the lookout and also found a road leading to a lake and a park (a costa rican park!).

The cold swimming pool seemed not very clean. A few things were floating around, including hair.

relaxing stay

various poolsspacious roomdelicious breakfastrude staff

i stayed with my family (three kids). different pools entertained them and the hot springs were a treat during cooler evenings. our room was spacious and conveniently near the pools plus the restaurant. breakfast was delicious (especially the fresh fruit) and made mornings special.

the staff member at check-in was a bit rude when i mentioned we were a family of five. although eventually resolved with an extra charge, the initial interaction was unwelcoming.

the hotel offers multiple pools with varying temperatures to suit preferences and hot springs ensure relaxation. a zipline is onsite adding some excitement and walkways provide access to garden views plus the volcano viewing point.

i was pretty excited about my stay but some things were a letdown. the shuttle service was surprisingly inconsistent. i sometimes waited a long time and watched shuttles pass me. also there were kids running around with little supervision and they splashed everyone in the hot springs and nobody seemed to care

amazing hot springs and volcano views!

multiple activitiesfriendly staffhelpful staffgreat lookout

The resort had many things to do, i enjoyed the hot springs and looked for wildlife. the pools were fun. mario at the stable was very friendly and gave us lots of information about the horses! the lookout was great. I spotted a sloth and a toucan.

The reception staff was not very helpful. I requested a room with a volcano view but was told it was not possible. i also asked for a discount on multiple massages, but they said no, which seemed like a missed opportunity for them.
