The room was basic but the surroundings were surreal. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The bed was comfortable. One recommendation: more/better face cloths! Besides that, the property is a gem. Loved our time on the hammocks by the pool area. The outdoor breakfast area was lovely as well.
View of the Arenal volcano from our porch in front of our room.
There was a coffee farm in bloom at the property next door.

Had a great stay at this little gem, tucked in this gated lodge has a beautiful pool area. Comes complete with breakfast provided. Check in was friendly and helpful, the gentlemen that checked us in had limited English and us limited Spanish so he reached out and a wonderful lady via cell call got us all sorted. Everyone was so helpful. Room is very clean with AC. Would come stay again for longer next time.

It was too cold to use the pool but it was very well maintained. We saw staff cleaning it everyday. Beautiful garden and nature around. Very calm. Only downfall is that its about 2.5 km away feom city center. Some restaurants around 1km away but more limited.

We stayed in a villa and it was excellent. Plenty of space, clean, comfortable bed. The grounds were like paradise. We enjoyed reading and listening to the birds in the hammock area and enjoyed a little swim in the pool. North fields coffee tour is right beside the hotel which was convenient! We had a car which was helpful to get into town. We walked from town once which took maybe 40 minutes. We would stay here again!
