Starting off with a substantial breakfast to get going in the morning, and a soak in the hot springs after a long day of activities made each day perfect. The staff was very helpful. We enjoyed our conversations with Roy. Thank you for being a great end to our Costa Rica adventure!

Overall, we loved this resort. First night in bad room located right next to construction/maintenance area and was very noisy. Do not stay in room 37! Hotel Mgr was very accommodating and upgraded us to a nicer and quieter room. Grounds are beautiful, and great view of Arenal volcano. Thermal springs (at least the top 2 pools) were lovely. Nice outdoor pool patio casual restaurant. Big breakfast buffet, all food was very good. I’d definitely recommend a stay here! And don’t miss Mistico Park which is near by!
