El Eatablo was perfect for our family of four. Two teenagers. The breakfast buffet was amazing. The dinner at the restaurant was good with incredible views. He staff was so friendly and helpful. We loved the shuttle that would take us around the property. The walking trails were also nice. We stayed in a family suite and it was great. Amazing views and so much wildlife around. Highly recommend

Pricy hotel/resort. For the price, breakfast is not included and they charge $25 per person. Staff were uninterested in providing help. Shuttles were quick and prompt. The view is not great either. Overall just an okay experience.

Room was clean and spacious, large bathroom, shuttle staff were very friendly. Had a great view from room and able to see lots of different wildlife - recommend watching sunset and night tour - was disappointed had to pay additional $20 to hike trail at the top of the hill. Breakfast buffet was ok - traditional Costa Rica breakfast options. Wish the pool bar was opened longer to have time to swim and relax after done with tourist attractions and supper

Lovely hotel with really nice staff. The location was walkable to different restaurants and activities. The property is really hilly but the shuttle was fantastic and very convenient to get around. We really liked the pool and enjoyed the balcony on our room - both were great for spotting wildlife and enjoying the breeze.

Great location. Thermal pools were amazing and hotel rooms xtra large. Will be back. Only downside is that the room does not have a direct view of the arenal volcano… you need to step outside of the room to view…
