Nice accommodations for a family of 4 (2 teenagers) where they each hot their own double bed. King size bed as well!! Highly recommend! Owner was super friendly and gave us a history of the area.

The staff was great. Checkin was a little confusing because I had 2 reservations that I needed to merge. But that got sorted out well. The place is generally clean, but a little dated. There are a number of rooms that are out of service. My understanding is that a new investor started just last year and they are working through modernizing the place. For the price it was perfectly fine.

If you are looking for a beautiful out of the way place that has plenty of nature, this is it! The staff were excellent and very attentive. By the way did I mention the great microbrewed beers! Well worth the scenic drive and a lot less cost than staying in the city. Lake Arenal is a beautiful place and the beer is a bonus!

Excellent restaurant and view, but…

Pro: excellent restaurant and views. Great common areas Con: everything about the hotel room. Needs complete and thorough cleaning. Light switches were filthy. Bedding stained and faded. Walls and floors need thorough washing at minimum. fresh paint could go a long way toward a better quality experience

Great spot to hang out for a day and stay the night. We got to see a lot of wildlife around the property and an incredible view of the lake. The beer was cold and delicious with lots of options for everyone. Dinner and breakfast at the onsite restaurant were super tasty and very filling. The staff was very friendly and approachable, especially our bartender which elevated our stay and made us feel very welcome.

I liked the friendly staff and the amazing views of Lake Arenal from the dining area. The restaurant features 8 different artisanal beers that are brewed on the property. The pool is a decent size for swimming and the hot tub grotta felt very relaxing. The hotel also features fun games including pool billard etc. and other amenities. Overall a fun and relaxing experience.

The property is dated decoratively ,and room rates relatively expensive , although the views are spectacular. The team members we came across were very friendly. The draft beers were fine but quite expensive. Breakfast was a choice of four dishes , which were very nice , but there was no fruit on offer. The main problem for us was that we were two of only four people staying as it's out of season , so there was no atmosphere at all , and because it's isolated , there wasn't anywhere else to go.

Very old property without A/C, hot tub or coffee before 8. Friendly staff, nice walking/hiking path, views and wild life such as monkeys, toucans and parrots in jungle like lake view setting. Food only offered inside so if you prefer eating or drinking outside you need to carry it out and back. Poor quality not worth the value. Couldn’t sleep well because of missing A/C or poor airflow. Bathroom was pretty gross needed lots of maintenance and saw a couple of roaches. Plenty of spiderwebs in corners but those were fine since they’d at least get the mosquitoes. Had to ask for pool towels and coffee cups. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but management could offer a lot more so customers would return. Great place to visit but I wouldn’t stay overnight again
