Guest Review: I loved the room! Our view of the hot springs pool and the volcano was breathtaking. The breakfast was delicious. You have a wide variety of choices, including an omelet station, breads, cheeses, a buffet, etc. It was a pleasure to soak in the hot springs. As well as the hotel, the spa was beautiful. We didn't use the spa, but would do so on our next visit.
Guest Review: The property was amazing and definitely exceeded my expectations. The landscaping is beautiful and felt like we were immersed in nature. The night tour of the property taught us how to spot the many frogs and we had fun trying to find them. The food in the restaurant was delicious including the included breakfast. Our room was beautifully remodeled, even including a built in sound system and had the best shower of our entire trip to Costa Rica. The pool area features two jacuzzis! The staff was extremely kind and hospitable.
Guest Review: This property was completely amazing, excellent location, quiet but busy at the same time with lots to do. Club was amazing. But what about this property compared to any other property is extremely lovely, happy, cheerful staff who truly seemed happy to be there. They made us stay very welcoming and comfortable. We have not seen Customer Service of this level in a long time. Special shout out to Mr joe Garo. He made the stay very memorable for our kids. !
