"This place has a breathtaking view of the Arenal Volcano. A hike in the national park doesn’t even get you a close. The location was great, just 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna. It felt like a jungle retreat more than a resort and the breakfast buffet was delicious."

The entire team made us feel so welcome and special, and we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful people we had the pleasure of meeting during our stay. The breakfast was amazing, and we loved the attention to detail throughout the hotel. The rooms were beautifully maintained, the housekeeping team did an outstanding job, and every team member we encountered contributed to making our experience even more beautiful and memorable. What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible staff and the genuine care they show their guests. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left with beautiful memories that we will cherish forever.
