Hello, I stayed in the hotel for one day Dec26-27. The pros resort property, several units in a building good view of the volcano hotel room decoration is tropical and unique restaurant quality is good, and price is reasonable close to Mistico hanging bridge park the cons the property water supply is on and off, so we have water for 2 hours, then no water for 3 hours etc. This kind of periods last the whole 24 hours. So, the water is on and off for several hours. After a day's hiking in tropical weather, we have to sleep without showers The toilet can not be flushed, since there is no water. So the dirty stuff needs to stay in the toilet for several hours. Then, other people in the same unit cannot use the restroom any more. You will need ask for a golf cart to go from front desk to each unit, and ask for golf cart again back to the front desk, restaurant. Some people did go up and down hills by themselves, but it is not convenient. I paid $380 for one night, I think the hotel needs to at least refund me $190 for this inconvenient stay. jing

Spacious and beautiful room with a cool design, set in an astonishing park. Excellent service, the only reason I didn’t give it a 5/5 is the water was not hot enough if you like to take a hotter shower.

We enjoyed our stay, It was our first time in Costa Rica. There were a few problems. The hiking trail was not open. Lighting in the rooms was poor. We did not always have hot water. There was not enough seating in the rooms for 3-4 people. What made this property stand out was the staff. They are excellent.
