Excellent Arenal Location

Wonderful location for a family stay around Arenal volcano. Extremely nice staff and just far enough off the beaten path to avoid crowds while still being close to it all.

Beautiful hotel facing the mountain. The pictures do not do justice to this property. It also has a hot pool which makes you not want to go the other hot springs.

Amazing setting and great location

This was one of our favorite hotels as we traveled through Costa Rica. The view from the room was incredible of the Arenal volcano and it was set in the rainforest. We woke up to seeing toucans flying around not far from our balcony. The location was a perfect for all of our activities of La fortuna. We would love to stay here again in the future if in the area.
