“In my opinion, this resort stands out as a tranquil escape, nestled in the heart of the rainforest with striking views of the Arenal Volcano. The fusion of Balinese art and Costa Rican craftsmanship creates a unique atmosphere, complemented by exclusive access to nature trails and rejuvenating spa treatments. The heated pool with a swim-up bar is, I believe, a highlight.”

inedible seafoodhigh water price

The food at the restaurant was NOT good. I ordered pasta with seafood. The seafood was hard as a rock. It was inedible, yet they still charged me for it. They offered water with or without gas upon seating. I ordered sparkling water and they charged me $10 per bottle!!! We didn't see a menu or know the price. I paid $20 just for two bottles of sparkling water!

Great Stay with Amazing Views

volcano viewhelpful staffgreat massage

Room 52 provided a volcano view! Staff was eager to help transport me around the hotel. Jasary and Jenny at the spa gave me a wonderful experience. Jenny's deep tissue massage included stretches like a tai massage, exactly what I needed after excursions.

I booked through a third-party. I was then asked to pay for experiences that were usually included for hotel guests, this was not great.

Rooms

9/10

The room featured comfortable beds. A division separated the shower area from the bathroom. A balcony faced the volcano, perfect for listening to birdsong and observing. There was a dehumidifier installed in the room.
