We had a great stay! Check in was quick and easy. Staff was polite and helpful. Bracelet as the key made things very easy! Room was spacious. AC nice and cold. Grounds are absolutely beautiful. Shuttle up and down the hill was constantly running even in low season. Breakfast was wonderful with tons of options. Loved all the birds we saw! If I had anything negative to say it would be that it still felt crowded in the main hot springs even though it was low season.

NOT SUITABLE FOR SENIORS. Neither the facilities nor the management are adequate. There are no 5 or 6 person rooms, only “hard like tatami” setups in 4-person rooms. We arrived at 2:00 p.m. with a 78-year-old senior. We asked at reception if the room might be ready so the elderly person could rest after the long trip from San Carlos. The receptionist got up to check, but the manager, Jeison, stopped her and said check-in time was 3:00 p.m. We waited in the lobby until 3:00 p.m. The room only had two double beds. The fifth person had to sleep on a thin 2-inch mat placed over a roll-out board under one of the beds. The number of towels, pillows, and blankets was for four people, not for the five I had booked. Reception’s response was that all rooms are like that. They sent an extra set of towels and blankets, but the fifth person still had to sleep on a mat on the floor, not pleasant at all. Breakfast and the waiters’ service were very good. What was unpleasant was the lack of consideration for the elderly person and the fact that they charge for 5 person rooms when they don’t actually have them, instead, they squeeze an extra guest uncomfortably into a 4 person room.

I really loved the appearance of eveything. It,s like being in a themapark of disney. The eye for detail is amazing. The tropical look is also very nice. The vew at the Arenal volcano is impressive. We arrived in the afternoon when it was raining. The volcano disappeared completely. The next morning the sky cleared and was completely blue and sunny. We hiked up to the viewing point. And the sights were amazing. The hike.is like 2 kms up and you do need at least some sort off physical stamina,because there are oarts of the road which are quite steep. Breakfast is great and staff very friendly and helpfull. The combination of hotsprings ans normal."cold" water is great.Will certainly como back again.

I have stayed here numerous times. I wish the gift shop would have later hours. Or that they would have vending machines for snacks. The customer service at the pool bar wasn’t as good as in the past, we went there to eat almost everyday due to the main dining area having a dress code.

Our family LOVED the pools and the beautiful surroundings. The service from Oscar at the pool bar was incredible. The kids loved the FAST slides and I loved the different hot spring spas…I especially appreciated how they emptied and cleaned the most used pools each day! Though the rooms were clean, they lacked the same imagination as the rest of the resort. It’s a large space but not creatively designed with sitting spaces or for any privacy. With the large size of the room, it’s a missed opportunity. When we had a concern with check-in, the manager reached out and provided a kind gesture of wine and fruit that we appreciated. Overall service was good. Everyone enjoyed the breakfast buffet, we especially liked the omelet bar. The food and drinks at the pool bar were reasonably priced and they had decent options. We had an underwhelming dinner one night but the service was impeccable.
