I love it, we got to see a lot of wildlife, the place was beautiful, quiet, clean, bring your own rite for mosquitoes, y

Liked:Absolutely beautiful, quiet place, nice pool, restaurant, close to the beach, friendly staff.

Disliked:The road to the place is a bit bumpy, but it is worth it. If you get the room beneath the restaurant it will be a bit of noise in the early morning as people goes up there to eat.

Beautiful grounds and great people.we will return!

Liked:Beautiful and tropical location with great views of the Arenal volcano. We were just a short drive from all activities including hot springs, hiking and waterfalls! Breakfast was so good and perfect before we took off on our adventures!

Disliked:The only complaint that I can think of is the pool was just a little chilly.
