"Location & Property:
The hotel is located between the town of La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano National Park. It is well connected and right next to the main road, making it easy to get around by car. The property is a large resort consisting of several buildings surrounded by gardens, which gives the whole place a welcoming and pleasant feel.
Room:
Our room was spacious and bright, located on the ground floor of one of the buildings. It looked new and very well maintained. It was clean, and the beds were large and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries.
Breakfast:
Breakfast was served in a large restaurant and was excellent, with plenty of choices, both hot and cold. The quality of the food and drinks was probably the best we experienced during our entire trip around Costa Rica.
Facilities & Surroundings:
What really made me wish I could give this hotel six stars, though, were the thermal pools. There are around a dozen pools, with different temperatures ranging from hot to cool, so there is something for everyone. Our kid had a blast going down the water slides, while my husband enjoyed a piña colada at the bar inside one of the pools. And the views were amazing: from the pools, we could see Arenal Volcano, including its crater and fumaroles.
Overall:
In short, this is an extraordinary place to stay. It feels much more like an experience in itself than simply a hotel stay."
