The staff and accomodations was beyond our expectations. The best part of our 10 day vacation in Costa Rica. I would recommend this resort to anyone. The moment we stepped foot on the property we were treated to first class service. We will be back and look forward to staying another vacation at this amazing resort

The treehouse rooms were incredible, with newer furnishings and the amazing walk out to the hot tub in the elevated tree trunk (room 403). Staff were excellent as well and always available to ahuttle you around the property in a cart. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay, though it was quite pricey as was the onsite food; even more than would be expected from a local resort. But definately a special property if you want to get away from.it all deep in the jungle, yet still only 25 mins to La Fortuna.

Excellent stay! Staff was amazing! Highly recommend the night time tour onsite. The property is not as big as appears and is easy to walk everywhere you need however the staff are always willing to golf cart you around if your legs are tired. Beautiful property. Morpho restaurant has amazing food and right next to the hot springs.

The natural springs had been made into 7 pools with varied water temps and were spent 2 full days enjoying the pools and scenery. This resort is about 45 minutes to la Fortuna and a car is a must to get around but the resort is beautiful and extremely nice staff. We will be back!

Staff were courteous, room was nice with A/C (but no fan in the bathroom), nature trails on property were a bonus, extra activities like the night walk and morning yoga were cool. Tons of exotic animals to see on the property. The one negative thing was that they were doing major construction near the two restaurants which was not expected and super loud from 9am- past sun down. They had the water shut off to the 2 water slides on the last day too due to the construction. It's also a far drive to excursions in La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano.
