The staff was very friendly. We had a family of 5 and we were able to upgrade to the house upon arrival which gave us a lot more room. There wasn't any A/C but there were ample fans to help with the heat. The kitchen was open air so we did get a few critters and mosquitos inside at night but nothing dangerous. The breakfast was very good and we ordered dinner there one night and it was delicious. The property is small so it felt very private, felt safe and the view of Arenal Volcano was amazing.

Room was beautiful, view was beautiful, gardens were beautiful. Love this hotel. The springs were lovely. This location is perfect, whether you want to use the hotel's springs or visit one of the other big complexes like Baldi or Paradise, which are a couple of mins walk away! The staff were lovely, shout-out to Julio, who was a star - kind and helpful. <3 As a lone traveller, it was great, but it would be a lovely stay for families too. Hope to return someday. :)

The room was somewhat in disrepair, and there was not adequate space for luggage or other items (no dressers, night stand, etc). We checked out early, and management did not refund the unused nights or respond to messages. The grounds and hot springs were nice, as was the staff that we interacted with while there.

This is a very low budget resort. We were without hot water for the entirety of our stay. The breakfast offered was nothing to talk about. The thermal springs and pools was the nicest part as it allowed us to be outside our room that was so poor to even stay in. The nicest thing was the springs cat that stayed outside and greeted us.

Compact resort with everything close. Room was spacious. Don't remember any extra seating. Shower head is the heater so you always have warm water if you don't turn water up to high. Hot Pools were a little disappointing, though it was a cloudy day. There are 4 heated with each flowing into the next so the first is warmest. When we arrived, hot water was not flowing into #1 by the bar but was still tolerable temp. #2 could be tolerated a brief time, but 3&4 were cool/cold. After dinner the hot water waterfall was turned on and #1 became much more enjoyable. Dinner was convenient and good for the one day we tried it. Can eat on patio by pool, or lobby dining area. Breakfast was good, basic with mainly Costa Rica options.

Great hotel and hot springs

My girlfriend and I stayed at this awesome hotel at the base of Volcano Arenal. Our check in was super easy and the office staff was friendly and helpful. The bartender, Jose, provided conversation and incredible drinks. Our hotel room was clean, food was good. Views and hot springs were perfect. We would love to stay here again.
