The property is beautiful and well located. Staff at the front desk is very friendly. Although, the pictures show a much newer or fancier place. The bathroom had mold and was not that clean. Pool was ok, but looked better on pictures. Staff of the restaurant was not that friendly. Tours were also much more expensive

This property is amazing because the rooms back up to Arenal volcano. In the morning, we had incredible birdwatching and were able to even see toucans. Itโ€™s walkable into town, approximately 2 km. But there are many dining options along the way. My husband and I are vegan and were very happy with our choices. The restaurant in hotel Magic Mountain offered a few vegan options as well. The staff were very helpful and Carlos, at the front desk, arranged tours for us. Would highly recommend if youโ€™re looking for a combination of remote feel and walking distance to dining and shopping.

Spotlessly clean, with friendly staff, this hotel is in a fantastic location for uninterrupted views of the Arenal volcano, which are amazing! Our room was well appointed, comfortable and well tended during our stay. The only criticism would be that the public areas are a little dated and poorly laid out: the bar is currently remote from the body of the hotel and rather unappealing, but we did note that there was a programme of refurbishment in progress, so maybe this is being addressed.

Loved the family, being picked up at the airport which was an extra charge. Clean with hot water which they were very proud of. A free breakfast is a plus. Mostly the family were so gracious and kind, making us feel right at home.
