Great place to stay. Long way up the mountain, but once you get there its a great view!! The bar closes at 8:00 pm, so if you are in the middle of a pool game, too bad!! The lights are out and you have to leave!!
The views of the volcano are stunning.
Friendly staff and the food was good.

The staff was great, the food very good
The room has a beautiful view.
The room needs some maintenance, better pillows.
It was a very beautiful experience.
It is a bit off the beaten path, but worth it. It is in the jungle away from other touriats. We were able to get transportation essily to all the nearby activities. The staff was friendly. The breakfast was good and a number of choices. The restaurant had delicious food available for supper.
The property features a collection of buildings offering various room types. Our chalet, located at the top of the property, was spacious and provided stunning views of Arenal Volcano.
Close Arenal volcano , the Mountain View rooms offer unparalleled and breathtaking views of the Arenal Volcano. The access road is not for the faint hearted but you are rewarded with amazing scenery.
It was a great stay. The staff were very attentive and the room was clean and spacious. We could see the volcano from our balcony and you can’t beat the price.
The location was beautiful with an incredible view of the volcano and surrounding landscape. The gardens were great for seeing wildlife and birds. The staff was kind and attentive and the breakfast options were delicious. The one working hot tub was so relaxing. Our room was clean and huge although a little dated. The driveway to the property was rough, but it was part of the adventure and we saw wild pigs, coati and lots of birds along the drive. We enjoyed our stay very much and would love to return!
