  As per other reviews we really cannot recommend this property enough. From the moment you arrive at this stunning location you are treated to a feast of the senses.… read more The view, the smells from the plants and the taste of the food are all to die for.

The units are brand new, modern, and offer sensational views of Lake Arenal. There is really nothing better than waking up to that kind of a view. The hotel is located in close proximity to some good restaurants, and is convenient to explore the area attractions including the volcano area, Rio Celeste, La Fortuna Waterfall, etc.

I would not hesitate to stay there again. Thank you for a memorable stay.
