We really like the resort grounds. They also help with delivering our luggage to the bungalow on the golf cart. The restaurant was a bit far. Also breakfast starts at 7 am which was really an inconvenience as many of our tours started early. We basically had to skip two breakfasts out of four. We tried to ask for sandwiches but the staff was not very helpful with that. There were also just 3 hot springs pools functioning. The swimming pool needs a bit of cleaning.

Wonderful family run business! Delightful bungalows nestled in the rainforest — with lovely hammocks on the porch. Staff was great at accommodating traveler with limited mobility — picking us up in a golf-type cart for meals. Massage was so relaxing — and outdoors! Food was tasty, portions generous and staff attentive. Secluded for peace and quiet. Rain on the tin roof was mesmerizing!

Our room was clean, beds were comfortably firm. The bathroom could have used a light fixture closer to the sink/mirror, as half your face was in shadow when shaving. The exterior light above the door did not work, making the entry a bit dark. The food was exceptional at the restaurant. We ate dinner there twice, and were very happy with our meals (tomahawk steak, hamburger, and chicken cordon bleu). The piña colada was delicious. The staff was very friendly, helpful, and eager to provide great service.

Room was fine, the hot springs are not hot. Very far from everything to do in La fortuna and Arenal 40 km
