Very Good

Starting with the positives: we had a lake view room, and the view was excellent, everyone in the family really enjoyed it. The staff was also very helpful and friendly.
The hotel itself is quite old and has a two-level layout, with one level below grade, which is understandable. However, the corridors are very dark even during the daytime, making the space feel gloomy. We also noticed a few bugs in the room. While some bugs are expected in a tropical rainforest setting, we’ve stayed at other hotels in similar environments that manage this much better. In Costa Rica especially, effective ventilation, lighting, and pest control are important. This hotel would benefit greatly from addressing these issues.

Cute place but kinda old and not so comfy however the restaurant food and service are amazing
The staff was very welcoming and friendly. Nice view of the lake and convenient to activities. They offer many excursion options including a night hike on the property. Would definitely stay again when in the area.
Amazing view on Lake Arenal. Plenty of amenities. Chill & friendly staff and owner.
Artistic chef and great home made beer.
This is a great value and worth the drive.
This is a gem of a resort. Beautiful property well maintained, excellent food and service, and alot to do including pickleball, nature walks, pool tables, hot tub and pool. 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.
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!

Enjoyed the brewery and the beer tastings. Very lively bar and restaurant with a live Latin band. Fun place to dance and laugh with other guests. The property is a little dated and needs a major upgrade. Good value for a short stay
We had a great stay here, wish we could have stayed longer. The beer and food were delicious, the monkeys and birds were fun to spot around the property, and the pool was comfortable.
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.
Good place to stay for one night if you are driving through to La Fortuna and need a stop before the longer drive. There isn’t much to do around this area, without a lot of driving. As a result, we abandoned our pre-paid second night to get closer to La Fortuna.
The hotel is fine. No AC. No shampoo/condition. No hairdryer. The beer at the brewery was okay, but we live in a spoiled location at home with excellent beer. The free breakfast was great. Dinner was just okay: pizza eh, and curry chicken was rubbery.
The indoor hot tub wasn’t running a filter and was not hot. It wasn’t at all appealing to get in, so we did not.
The grounds are nice and charming. A little pig ran past our door with great delight to us. There were also 3 dogs on site that were friendly and adorable.
Staff was very nice.
We entered our room to a (large) dead bug surrounded by ants, which made us uncomfortable. Without air conditioning, the room was 100% moist and not comfortable for sleeping. I did not venture to unpack and kept everything off the floor. The water was not hot enough to my liking in the shower.
Overall, location was convenient but uneventful. Staff was great. Room was not spectacular, even though the layout would have been stellar with 2 full bedrooms and a kitchen in the middle. We just didn’t want to spend any time in there. We did love playing pool while sampling their beers. Stay for one night.
