Guest Reviews

• Markus (9/5): Sehr empfehlenswert. - Mitten in der Natur. Ruhig. Rundwanderwege in den Urwald und zum Fluss direkt am Park. Abendliches Frösche beobachten direkt neben der Unterkunft. Habe hier mein erstes Faultier in Costa Rica gesehen…
• Nerea (10/5): - Nos alojamos dos noches en este hotel para vivira experiencia inmersiva en la selva y la verdad que nos encantó, hay que tener claro que es eso, unas habitaciones/apartamentos sencillos. Nosotros estuvimos en la más pequeña y estaba limpia, la cama era cómoda y todas las ventanas tenian mosquitera fija. La excursión nocturna también genial, Pablo fue un fantástico guía y vimos muchos animales. Lo único que mejoraría es la puerta que roza al suelo demasiado y la verdad que el bar del hotel es un poco caro. Repetiriamos experiencia.
• Orlane (10/5): - L’accueil , affaire familiale, déconnection totale au cœur de la nature loin du tourisme de masse Peut etre inclure le petit déjeuner mais c’est un détail car tout est parfait
• Andreea (10/5): -
• Anke (10/5): - Der Wellnesspark liegt wundervoll ruhig am Rand von La Fortuna in einem eigenen Bereich mit kurzen Trails und einem kleinen Restaurant, das von 7 bis 16 Uhr Speisen und Getränke anbietet. Das Personal ist sehr freundlich, es gibt eine wunderbare Nachtwanderung im Park, die direkt dort gebucht werden kann.
• Cristina (10/5): Precioso - No encantó el alojamiento. Una verdadera aventura dentro de la jungla con vistas espectaculares al volcán. Volveremos pronto!!!
• Hervé (10/5): Fabuleuse immersion dans la nature - Le logement est vraiment dans la nature, Coatis, oiseaux et singes devant la porte. Accès libres à des circuits de randonnées absolument fabuleux. Très bon accueil. Le logement était un peu petit, mais pas vraiment gênant étant donné que tout "se passe" à l’extérieur.
• Kirsty (9/5): -
• Taniluc (10/5): - El trato del personal
• philippe (1/5): sans commentaire - petit déjeuner nul et payant Tout
• PANAGIOTIS (9/5): -
• Stefanie (9/5): Tiny House inmitten der Natur, viel Platz und Ruhe - Sehr ruhige Unterkunft inmitten der Natur gelegen. Das Tiny House ist von einem riesigen Park umgeben, der als natürlicher Urwald gehalten wird. Auf dem Gelände können ebenso wie in den Nationalparks Tiere und Landschaften und Wege entdeckt werden. Tolle Aussicht auf den Arenal. Super leckeres Restaurant am Eingang des Hotels mit landestypische Gerichten zu guten Preisen. Das Hotel wird von einer costaricanischen, sehr freundlichen Familie geführt. Bewusst werden nur wenige Häuser zur Vermietung auf dem Gelände angeboten. Dusche schlecht regulierbar. Keine Yoga Angebote während meines kurzen Aufenthaltes. Fußläufig zu den hanging bridges gelegen, ansonsten aber auf Auto angewiesen, da - zum Glück - weit ab vom Partyort La Fortuna.
• Colby (10/5): -
• Armand (10/5): -
• Denis (8/5): -
• Leah (8/5): Our own personal retreat! - The location is off the beaten path but we enjoyed the peacefulness. It is also a great place for bird watching. Our adult children stayed in the peace lodge (the tent on booking.com) and found it very comfortable. We really enjoyed our suite with the jacuzzi overlooking the pool. We also enjoyed the yoga area and it felt like we were on our own personal retreat. The staff were very friendly and helpful. Breakfast was wonderful and we just let the staff know our order and timing the day before. We were disappointed to learn that due to some damage, the trail to the waterfall and natural swimming pools was closed. Staff were uncertain as to when this would be re-opened.
• Demian (10/5): GEWELDIG!!! - Beste verblijf in jaren, als je van de natuur houd dan is dit ‘the place to go’. We verbleven midden in het bos en we kregen zaklampen mee want er was geen verlichting op het park. Dat vonden we geweldig! Het voelde heel veilig en de hosts waren geweldig en de meest gastvrije mensen die we op onze reis hebben ontmoet. Jimmy heeft ons zelfs een nachttour gegeven waar we de luiaard, kikkers, aapjes, neusberen en andere dieren hebben gespot. We hebben meer dieren op het resort gespot dan tijdens onze overige activiteiten. Echt helemaal tot rust gekomen en genoten van de natuurgeluiden in bed. 10/10 zou het iedereen aanraden die van natuur houdt!
• Théophile (10/5): - Un parc gigantesque, très peu de logements au sein du parc, et donc une exclusivité impressionnante des infrastructures. Un calme , un emplacement et une vue incroyable. On a vu des tas d'animaux juste au sein du jardin. Très clairement le meilleur logement qu'on a fait de tout notre périple au Costa Rica La hauteur dans le logement, je n'arrêtais pas de me cogner aux linteaux des portes.
• Dawn (9/5): -
• Marion (8/5): Tolle Preis-Leistung, gut für Naturliebhaber - Sehr freundliches Personal, wir haben ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen, um mehr Platz mit Kind zu haben. Das Grundstück ist riesig mit vielen Trails und einem Froschteich, um Tiere zu sehen. Wir haben Kapuziner- und Brüllaffen gesehen. Das Frühstück ist sehr reichhaltig und lecker, zudem fair bepreist. Das Zimmer war sehr einfach, ohne Deko. Die checkout Zeit wurde sehr ernst genommen.
• Curtis (9/5): Beautiful location, calm and peaceful. Service staff made us feel like family. - Excellent location, we enjoyed being right in the middle of rain forest with all its amazing flora and fauna. The staff and service was incredible, Johnny is an excellent host and super patient with kids. He pointed out frogs, monkeys, and toucans - the kids were thrilled! I enjoyed morning walks on the trails and yoga on the covered deck, so peaceful! Breakfast was hearty and delicious. Close to hanging bridge and horse tours. Really happy with our stay. There were live wires protruding from walls in bathrooms. Though covered by electrical tape, I was nervous with kids in the bathroom. I would also recommend more hooks in the bathroom to hang wet towels and/or rain jackets.
• Adelia (9/5): -
• Jonathan (7/5): -
• Miriam (10/5): - Beautiful property. The walks and hikes within the property are better than most of the walks we did in national parks throughout the country. Lots of wildlife /birds pass by even when having breakfast. Very nice staff. Perfect setup to visit Mistic bridges early in the morning before the tour buses arrive.
• Marilena (9/5): un oasi di pace - questo hotel è davvero molto particolare immerso in un parco meraviglioso. Al mattino la colazione è servita mentre colibrì volano nei cespugli.ci sono sentieri da percorrere che purtroppo abbiamo sfruttato solo in parte per il maltempo. la colazione è gustosissima. questo è solo un suggerimento: attrezzare con più utensili la cucina delle camere familiari per poter godere a pieno della tranquillità serale senza dover uscire a cena.
• NATALY (10/5): - El espacio natural Faltaba cocinita en la habitacion de villa
• Carolina (10/5): - Lovely calm place
• Carolyn (10/5): - The jacuzzi in front of our room and the extremely comfortable bed. Also beautiful grounds to walk around and fabulous traditional breakfast.
• marvin (9/5): Lieu paisible et riche en oiseaux - Le logement était au calme et on pouvait voir des animaux. Le logement était bien équipé pour cuisiner soit même et le coin détente et coloriage était très sympa Le restaurant qui n’était pas disponible pour le midi et soir, il faut reprendre la voiture pour ce restaurer
• Linda (9/5): Overall it was a satisfying stay and a good value. - Property settings, surrounded by beautiful nature (can see Arenal volcano from the backyard); room is spacious, staff are super friendly and helpful. Breakfast is delicious. It’s a little bit far from downtown La Fortuna (30+ minutes drive), where we had our dinners every night. And the road close to the property is a little bit too rocky and bumpy.
• Max (10/5): Plus qu’une nuit d’hotel, une experience - - Johny, Javier et Gabriela étaient tous adorables, super serviables, chaleureux - le lieux est magnifique en plein coeur de la nature, on est coupés du monde La vue sur le volcan est exceptionnelle Hyper calme, silencieux et paisible
• Lydia (9/5): Amazing nature immersion - would 100% recommend! - The property was located in a serene and private part of La Fortuna with stunning views of Arenal Volcano. We had the whole thing to ourselves for three days and made the most of exploring the trails around the property and at the national park. The staff were exceptional - so friendly and helpful! They spoke brilliant English which really helped us. They spotted Toucans for us at breakfast and helped us with planning how to get to our next destination tomorrow- they went above and beyond. The breakfast was delicious and generous with unlimited coffee and big portions. They catered to my partner’s coeliac diet without hesitation. We stayed in the Peace Dome which is described as a tent online but is more like an igloo in the jungle. It was so comfortable and had WiFi, a fan and dehumidifier. We didn’t really have any bugs in there which was amazing and we slept very peacefully to the sound of the jungle. The property is about a 30 min car journey from La Fortuna and is probably designed for people with a car. There is no lunch or dinner served on site so you have to walk to the nearest other hotel for other meals. In the evening this is in the dark but they do give you torches. We thought it was a fun experience so not necessarily that we didn’t like it but more of a heads up to others :)
• Maxime (10/5): -
• Pascal (9/5): - Der Park war Mega Fußläufig nichts zu erreichen
• luis (10/5): - Perfect place to relax and connect with nature 🍄‍🟫 amazing hikes The room is a bit small for tall people, I hit my head very hard so be careful and the doors can improve.
• benedetta (10/5): - I sentieri sono stupendi e molto ben tenuti. La proprietà è molto grande e permette di visitare tanti ambienti diversi ricchi di biodiversità! La casa, sebbene piccola, aveva tutti i comfort. Lo staff molto gentile e molto buona anche la colazione! Avremmo voluto fermarci più a lungo! Niente
• Mario (10/5): Magique!!! - La proximité avec la forêt. La possibilité de voir les différents singes au réveil depuis notre fenêtre. C’était juste incroyable. On a vu de magnifiques grenouilles aussi. Amoureux de la nature ne vous posez aucune question foncez direct dans ce petit coin de paradis sur terre. Le personnel (Jonny) était super cool et agréable. Il nous a vraiment bien reçu. Le petit dej était au top. Le chocolat chaud était excellent. P.S : Optez pour le logement du fond. Rien
• noemi (10/5): - גונגל פרטי בפתח החדר ואפשר לעשות טיולים לגונגל הפרטי של המקום.מקום מקסים באמת. שלא היה לנו זמן להשאר עוד ועוד.
• Salvador (9/5): Pura vida - Loved the trail, nature and location. The views are amazing!!! Could have a few more signals (the property is huge)
• Johannes Dominicus Bernardus (8/5): Ga hier naar toe voor de rust - De rust, de accommodatie zelf en de gastheer en personeel Paden waren niet verhard. Met regen en in het donker was het lastig naar je accommodatie te komen
• Maria (10/5): -
• Tomas (9/5): Superb - Amazing views and kind staff. Great if you want a more secluded stay to recover from the buzz of the main town. The hot tub overlooking the Arenal Volcano was a one of a kind experience. As there is no food or supermarket close by, a car is essential. The only reason for this being a 9/10 and not a 10/10 is that the roads to get there are quite rough.
• Hugh (10/5): Exceptional - This really is a great spot. We had a family room and though relatively simple was bigger than expected comfortable and great for a few days. The property is outstanding. Tucked away so beautifully quite. A great contrast to the main town of La Fortuna. Makes a mild challenge for eating out but the staffs recommendations were great. The trails are where this place really shines. Outstanding rainforest. Dense, no one else around. Paths the right level of challenge without being too much.
• Søren (9/5): Superb - Incredible stay in nature. Owners were flexible with accommodating a change to our booking for free that should otherwise be paid for. Private water falls and hiking trails with views of the arenal volcano? Amazing. Jimmy was very kind and friendly throughout our stay, providing excellent service. - no dinners available on site (considering the remote location this is very useful to have, as nearby Lost Iguana were reluctant to cater to vegans the alternative is pretty much a 20 minute drive or cook in your accommodation) - Still a project in the making, we couldn't find a few of the spots on the map of the Wellness Park and were told when asked these are yet to be constructed. Don't let any of these points hold you back. We had an amazing stay!
• Brigitte (9/5): Superb -
• Bruce (10/5): Wonderful rainforest experience - Beautiful trails through the rain forest was the highlight. Excellent service from everyone there. Very relaxed environment.
• Daniela (9/5): Superb -
• Darinka (10/5): Excellent - Everything.
• Melis (6/5): Pleasant - The view and environment was amazing The day we checked in restaurant was closed, we learned everything when we ask
• Christopher (10/5): Impressive private natural area to explore with an attentive and fantastic staff - What a wonderful surprise! The park is much larger than you would think and has so much to explore and do. Very impressive place. Very relaxing. The rooms are a generous size with comfortable beds. The property is big with lots to see. Since it’s not a place with a lot of rooms, it feels very private and quiet. The family of gentlemen that manage and run the place were great with communication and helping find guides for tours and even getting a birthday cake for my daughter’s birthday that happened while we were staying there. Fantastic place. Great communication. Terrific team of people managing and helping. This would also be a great place for a small group retreat or family trip. It’s close to Arenal and La Fortuna without the crowds, hustle and bustle of those areas. Can’t think of anything we didn’t like.
• Choudra (10/5): Paradise on earth. If you are a nature lover and a spiritual person this is the place to be. Staff is amazing and very h - Amazing location. You have the tropical forest just outside your door. Very serene and isolated. All was perfect
• Maria (10/5): Exceptional - The place is a green oasis of peace and nature. The location is great, and there are a lot of hiking routes at walking distance. Forest noises and colors will keep you company and help you relaxing. The owner is very nice and he will give you good advices if you ask. Great toasts with avocado and eggs for breakfast.
• Sergio (10/5): Lovely place near Fortuna, great attention - Lovely place, excellent service,, clean, new. The rooms are big and comfortable. Definitely a place to go again. You can do tracking or relax, the view of the volcano is awesome. The service was outstanding 11 out of 10 I liked everything, I've just suggested, they would take care of the cooking area ,(right now is new), but soon will be damaged if they don't take care of the water area and probably will damage the furniture . And something electric to cook would be highly appreciated.
• Peter (10/5): Exceptional - The lodge is not far away from the mistico hanging bridges. Huge area with its own trails, We had a swim in the little stream and a swim next to a little waterfall. All of it without the masses of people you normaly see in the National Parks. Coatis and exotic birds on the veranda and the Arenal vulcano directly in front of us (if its not covered by clouds). Great spot.
• Denise (5/5): This place is a hotel/motel/dormitory being mis-advertised - The property is away from La Fortuna which is great if you like peace and quiet and don't mind a drive to town. The surrounding area is beautiful and we saw many great birds including Tucans in the area and also enjoyed a morning hike in the jungle. This place is not as advertised -- neither the rooms, or the grounds. It's a dormitory/hostel/motel for youth with short hiking trails on the property advertised as a "wellness park." The map you see in the photos is a misrepresentation of reality. Johnny did not have our reservation [made well in advance] when we arrived at night after a 13-hour day of travel. They had no vacancy and no urgency to help us find somewhere to stay for the night and didn't apologise or care about their error whatsoever. We had to ask for his help to please call the nearby hotel to see if they had anything. They had one night available at three times the cost, but we had no other choice. We came back the next day and the room was not at all as described or shown on this website. What is advertised as a one bedroom house is a motel-like studio with one big room, no sink in the bathroom, but instead it's a part of the kitchenette, and shared walls with the other dorms. The room had dilapidated curtains hanging over just half of the windows, leaving complete exposure to look in the room, the bathrooms were not as shown in the photo either. The studio is furnished with patio table and chairs not wooden furniture as shown in the photos. Also, there was no coffee in the room. Completely bare bones studio motel. We left the next day.
• Beena (4/5): Disappointing - The grounds were nice, but paths and viewpoint bridge are not well kept. The room was OK, and the beds comfortable...a bit weird to have a washbasin in the kitchen and not in the bathroom. The outside area had spilled coffee which had not been cleaned up,and we had a cockroach in the kitchen area (the only place we have seen one ). Overall it is expensive and the idea of Wellness here is totally overblown. A few wind chimes and inspirational messages don't constitute Wellness and calling a breakfast Wellness certainly didn't make it good quality. Good coffee and complimentary welcome drink. There are many cheaper places in the area which provide closeness to nature, peace and tranquility without trying - this place is all about a concept, very disappointing overall. On a positive note, it's very convenient for the hanging bridges park (2 minutes drive). We were led to believe we had cooking facilities. This turned out to be a gas-powered camping stove, which should never be used indoors. It was unsafe, creating small explosions and the room stank of gas. It caused headache and nausea. We informed the manager, who offered something to get rid of the gas smell. Only after we made it clear that there is a danger of poisoning if there is inadequate ventilation did he say the stove wouldn't be provided in future. I hope this is the case. Other places we have stayed offered a simple induction hotplate. We left a day early, with the second night was refunded. The man at reception had not a word to say to us on leaving. The whole experience was the opposite of Wellness.
• Jerome (9/5): Great value at a family run property with many hiking trails - Large property with hiking trails and waterfalls. Great value with clean rooms and excellent breakfast.
• Sebastien (9/5): Great escape for exploring the areas - Extraordinarily clean, family of brothers and sisters were super helpful. Located in an immense area with multiple options. The cooked food is excellent.
• Allie (10/5): Exceptional -
• Rosalie (9/5): Amazing location - - the concept of the park is awesome - so many trails including waterfall! - the staff was incredibly nice /
• Malarie (10/5): Exceptional - We had the best time here! Service has been amazing, everyone is so kind, considerate and accommodating! The family rooms are perfect, everyone has their own sleeping space and 2 bathrooms! The room was perfectly clean and comfortable. The grounds are impeccable, with fun trails and look out points. We enjoyed a relaxing massage in the rainforest! It was so peaceful! Breakfast was included and was delicious everyday. We enjoyed it here so much we extended another night. I highly recommend the night tour, Mau was our guide and we learned and saw so many nocturnal creatures like kinkajou! If I am blessed with the opportunity to return to the area, I will be staying here again! The connection to nature is unmatched.
• Olyutka (10/5): Great place . you won't regret if you book it! -
• Olivia (10/5): Our stay at Harmony Dome was nothing short of magical! A highlight of our 1 month trip. - What an incredible space! We had an amazing time here staying at the Harmony Dome. Everyone who worked here could not have done more to make us feel relaxed and at home. From the hummingbird gardens to the grounds and private waterfall, this place is a piece of magic! You can see how much heart and soul has been poured into growing this space and showing everyone how beautiful Costa Rica is. The food was also delicious and a real treat to have your dinner in front of such a magnificent volcano view! We went on a night walk with Mau, which was truly fantastic! His enthusiasm for nature was inspiring. We were sad to leave, but we were so thankful for their help in organizing our transfers to Monteverde. We hope to come back again and will recommend this place to anyone coming to Costa Rica! Olivia and Helena It was perfect.
• Jeanette (10/5): A truly exceptional place - We absolutely LOVED our stay here. This place is amazing - so much wildlife can be seen in the grounds and the views of Arenal volcano are just breathtaking. The hike to the waterfall within the grounds and swimming in the cool, clear water there was one of the highlights of our whole trip. The breakfast and dinner onsite was very good. The guided night walk around the grounds is a must. Johnny was extremely helpful and answered any questions we had before our trip. He and all the staff went out of their way to ensure we had a great stay here. Nothing - it was all fabulous.
• Irene (9/5): Superb - The Staff was amazing, very kind and helpful. Beautiful place, amazing nature and great service! Absolutely recomended!
• Javier (10/5): Recommended 200%!!! - Simply fabulous!!!! Great place in the middle of a very well maintained landmark, waking up in the middle of nature and surrounded by animals: white-faced monkeys, colibris, coatis, etc. Awesome night tour as well. Very recommended, no doubt!!! A bit far away from La Fortuna and difficult to get there, but it’s part of the charm!!!!
• Andreea (10/5): Amazing nature right at our doorstep - The amount of nature and animals surrounding us was absolutely fenomenal. We did pretty much all the trails available on the property, saw monkeys, frogs, the Arenal volcano (best view we had while in the area). It was fabuluos!
• Blanche (10/5): Exceptional - Wonderful and helpful staff, excellent restaurant
• Lindsay (10/5): This property is perfection! - This is a place designed more for retreats, but was absolute perfection. Johnny and his staff (Rachel and Javier) are AMAZING. Definitely plan on staying here! You can do a hanging bridge hike here and skip the crowds at the Mistico Hanging bridges. Additionally, the hike up to the waterfall is amazing - definitely bring your swimsuit and swim at the base of your own private waterfall! We had 2 kids (10 & 12) and 3 adults. The hike might have been a little tougher for young kids, but was fantastic for ours. The coffee, breakfast, and dinner were delicious, as well! We had some snacks from the supermarket, and that was all we needed for lunch between those meals on-site, even for the kids. We stayed in the family room, and could have easily fit more people (4 double beds), but we talked about coming back and trying one of the domes if we only had 2. I cannot say enough about how wonderful this place is to relax and see Costa Rica! I can’t think of anything they could improve? Maybe more counter space in the bathrooms?
• Flora (10/5): Exeptional accomodation in close proximity to animals an volcano. - Exeptional location. The little house was in a private property next to the Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges and close to Volcan Arenal National Park. On site there is a frog sanctuary with red eyed tree frogs, the view from the private little hanging bridge to the volcano is beautiful. Coatis, capucin and howler monkeys were just before our door. Hummingbirs were flying around the flowers. We saw here more animals than in the Mistico Park. Loved our little house, it was well equiped, bed was comfortable, good quality toiletries were provided. Welcome smootie was delicious. The owner and the workers were very friendly, and helpful. It was a memorable stay. They provided dehumidifier in the house against the high humidity. The whole area was very safe. The trails inside the property would need more maintenance. The steps down to the Arenal river were partly demolished, as well on the upper part of the property on the way to the waterfall. It is not recommended for elderly or someone with mobility issues.
• Kamala (10/5): One of the best experiences ever (and I am a frequent traveller) - Outstanding host (Johnny) and staff (Rachel). They were so warm and caring. Johnny went the extra mile to make sure we had a wonderful experience. He organized custom meals to meet our special needs. He helped with logistical arrangements (not part of his job) and acted more like a good friend. We stayed in Harmony Dome, which was great. We were surrounded by the forest and had interesting animal and bird visitors every day. The property has great trails that we could explore without a crowd. I cannot praise the place enough - a total gem. Johnny is interested in conservation and in living in harmony with nature, which I think is a big plus.
• Michal (10/5): Wonderland - It's a wonder to have such a "private" place in the hyper-touristic El Arenal Volcano area. Just imagine waking up surrounded by colibri and with majestic volcano in front of you. All enjoyed from the comfort of your bed OR hiking the private trails. The owner and his staff are caring for you and fulfil all your needs and wishes. Making sure you enjoy your stay to the fullest. The night trip is a must! No worries about the food - excellent kitchen on site! nada
• Reena (10/5): Exceptional -
• Olivier (9/5): We spent two nights and would have liked to stay longer. - The surrounding: the facilities are a small part of the property, the domain is 46 hectares and visitors are free to explore the domain. Tracks are available, it is well indicated and relatively easy to walk in the forest around the facilities. The staff and the manager are very kind and professional. This is a new resort. We slept in a room foreseen for a family or a group and not in an individual accommodation. For the time being, there are only two places for couples, it is foreseen to build a few more. I would have liked to pat in bitcoin with the Bitcoin Jungle application, which is common in other places in Costa Rica but not yet around lake Arenal.
• Martin (10/5): Exceptional -
• Elsa (10/5): Exceptional - AMAZING experience, coming here, is like experiencing the real Costa Rica. The staff was amazing, Johnny made sure we had the best time! The food was very good as well, we were 2 vegans and we always had plenty to eat. The location is far, yes, but that's what this place is all about. We saw all types of animals, and it gave us the most peaceful experience to be surrounded by so much nature. Better signs for trails, offer some snacks within the day, pick up options could be nice given the distance from the town
• Martin (10/5): The trials in the park are longer than on it looks on the map, the night tour was also great. - Amazing location with more than great service. You can have a perfect accommodation, great scenery but in wellness park we found something more- very nice people. Great stuff supported by on of the owners Johnny who communicated from the reservation and was so helpful in person when we arrived. Thank you having so perfect stay.
• Melanie (10/5): Peaceful place surrounded by nature. - We loved our stay at the Wellness Park! The Peace Dome is surrounded by nature and you have complete peace and quiet. It's nice to fall asleep with the windows open and the sounds of nature. The park itself offers yoga decks, a frog sanctuary and various hiking trails, e.g. to a small waterfall or a viewing platform and more. And all that you can enjoy almost to yourself, even in the high season. And Johnny and the other staff were so nice and helpful. Thank you again! The park is a bit remote, about 30 minutes outside of La Fortuna, I would recommend a car so that you are flexible. We were there without a car and Johnny was very helpful with organising transport.
• Maikel (10/5): Exceptional - Peace, middle in the nature, your own private spot. Extremely friendly an dhelpfull staff and owners. Good diner and breakfast. On top, so many private walks on the property. We saw many wildlife including special frogs. To summarize, this place is a must visit.
• Jean (10/5): Best Nature retreat with great views of Arenal Volcano - The trails and the perfect volcano view. Our room was brand new , it was great . Johnny and his staff were so hospitable and made sure we were always happy. Felt like a very private retreat in the rainforest with food 💚 Izzy and Chef Mario always made my birthday dinner special and sincerely welcoming . Housekeeping might use a bit of improvement ( we stayed 8 days and had to ask for room to be cleaned twice, would be nice if made routinely , at least for longer stays).
• Jan-philipp (10/5): Extraordinary pice of Costa Rican rainforest with beautiful trails and views to the volcano. - Even though the "peace dome" is quite small, it has enough space for 2 persons, if you handle your luggage well. It's a really romantic place, if you are in company and very calming too. The property is huge and really quiet, except many many nature sounds, I enjoyed a lot while falling asleep :) Thank you for this nice stay and showing me the red-eyed tree frogs, which I love so much and never saw before. The "peace dome" didn't include breakfast, which is 10 $ extra, in case you want to have some coffee, fruit and toast with some egg. But the small kitchen of the accomodation provides everything you need, to prepare your own one :)
• Steven (10/5): Must stay here if you are looking for a glamping-style experience in nature. 5 stars! - This place is amazing. If you are looking for a typical hotel experience, this may not be your place. If you are looking for something off the beaten path more about personal wellness and being in nature, this is your perfect choice. The place was amazing with great hikes and waterfalls directly on the property. The food was excellent. Everything was very clean and the wifi worked well enough. This place offered a great combination of feeling like you are secluded in nature but also providing you with modern day amenities. There arent many guests staying there and at times we felt alone. The owners and staff were incredibly friendly and helpful. Pretty much any reasonable request will be granted. Thank you Johnny and EZ for a wonderful time! Nothing really. The room we were in was brand new. It still needed a few final touches, but I'm confident the owners will address them asap.
• Karan (9/5): Excellent room - Great room and shower. Grounds could do with some upkeep, but they're getting there.
• Severine (10/5): Exceptional - Fantastic location Away from crowded places Staff super welcoming The waterfall trail and the mirador are a must You feel alone in the jungle We recommend !
• Karan (6/5): Good grounds, peace dome wasn't great. - The grounds, the staff. We stayed 2 nights, 1 in the harmony dome which was great, and one in the peace dome which was well below par. The room was stuffy, small, shower was not pleasant. Food was also average, with salmon very over cooked and other items lacking flavour
• Joe (9/5): The perfect escape from a busy life - The location. The solitude. The park trails. The wildlife. The views. The accommodation. The hosts. Not staying longer
• György (10/5): Exceptional - It was very cosy and a nice retreat. You wake up in a park with hummingbirds in front of your door and a great view of the volcano. Then you can hike the Park trails (ca.3h) and experience a hidden jungle, waterfall with a lot of fauna. Also there is a cool viewpoint where you can get a photo of the volcano and the jungle.
• Christina (10/5): Perfect! - I loved everything about the place 👌🏽
• Zheni (9/5): Total immersion in the rainforest - I liked the fact that there was so much to do at this property. It is very isolated, which we liked. There is only one other domo in the whole property so that was a huge plus for us. I still recommend the domo further away from the reception for total immersion in the environment. Make sure you check the longer trail on the property and the waterfall along the way. You can take a dip in the waterfall as well. That trail was my favorite part of my trip to CR! Maybe I missed the memo but for 3 nights our room was not cleaned even once. I also had to ask for towels twice and pick them up myself from the reception. Just minor things that could be easily fixed, in my opinion. And a suggestion: when guests are having breakfast, i think the dishes can be washed after the guests have finished their breakfast. We are there to enjoy peace, quietness and stillness, and not the juggling of silverware.
• Mattlloyd12 (9/5): The place is bursting with wellness, adventure and peace with amazing sites and feelings. - The location makes for a peaceful natural experience where the only noises you get are from the animals and nature itself. But you do get the experience of waking up in the jungle in the Peace Dome where we slept with the windows open to hear the monkeys and frogs and insects and birds, etc! There are alot of nice trails to hike however someone who is not confident in hiking in the jungle may feel a tad lost due to the lake's efficient signage. It is almost impossible to get lost but it would make it reassuring for those who lack experience.
• James (10/5): Amazing - We were immersed in the jungle, and were the only people in this jungle as the other cabin was not occupied that night. The property had many points to explore including a river and waterfall which we loved. Very isolated but so worth it and was so relaxing. That I didn’t stay longer. There was so much to see
• Vera (10/5): The hidden gem of Arenal - Domos en Wellness Park is really a hidden gem of Arenal! When we arrived, we couldn’t believe our eyes, how beautiful is the view (see the attached pictures). The place is so huge, that you don’t even need to go to any national park, you can just spend the whole day just exploring it (what we did eventually). In Wellness park you’ll find: beautiful view on Arenal volcano from the reception and from the hanging bridge, frog sanctuary which is great to visit at night when frogs sing (we even saw a giant bull frog there), a designated area for practicing yoga and meditation, a labyrinth, a trail leading to mountain river, where we swam in the cool water, a really long and beautiful trail along the fields, hills and mountains leading to a beautiful waterfall where we swam as well. You’ll also definitely see wild nature there (we saw a lot of monkeys, toucans and a coati). They also have a wide choice of spa procedures, but unfortunately we didn’t try as we had a little time. 100% we’ll stay there again when we arrive at Costa Rica next time! You need to watch your head as the house itself is not for tall people)) but it’s ok, you just need to get used to it.
• Veronika (10/5): Exceptional - The best, and beyond!:) Be carefull, because from here you don't want to go other places in La Fortuna. Just be here. I loved the sounds of the jungle at night, the view to the vulcano, the flower gardens, the colibris around there, the river and the creek, the paths in the jungle, the small, calming waterfall. The breakfasts, the people around here. Thank you for everything!❤️🙏
• Armin (10/5): Magical! Will come back, for sure! - Wow, having a cute little private cabin in the rain forest several hundred meters away from others, is truly magical.
• Nathania (8/5): Very good - It has a waterfall,hanging bridges,frog pond,trail hikes and more.Very good if you want to sleep in nature’s lullaby.
• Laura (10/5): Absolutely peaceful and beautiful! - Absolutely amazing place! Peaceful and surrounded by nature, with the property having its own trails and waterfall. The views from the Arenal volcano were stunning...specially from our bed inside the Domo (Harmony). The hot plate for cooking was great to have. Nothing...this place is perfect!
• Lisa (10/5): Exceptional - This is an amazing place! The houses are scattered through the grounds, so your only neighbours will be hummingbirds and monkeys. The room was spotless clean, comfortable, and equipped with everything you need, including a small stove and some essential ingredients (oil, salt, pepper, coffee). The gardens are beautiful, with wonderful views of the volcanoe, frog ponds, a small labyrinth, and several shaded seating areas. Best of all, there are a few trails leading through the forest, one of which goes by a small waterfall in which you can bathe. As it is on private grounds there are not many people around, I had the trails all to myself. I absolute loved it and would have stayed longer if I could!
• Joe (8/5): Elequent and peaceful stay - secluded area with lots of space and trails to walk on. amazing view of the volcano. felt like I was the only person there too. you’ll love this if you want to feel like a part of nature. There are no shops nearby so definitely bring food with you. The dome has a fridge, coffee machine and kettle which helps make food as well as heating stove etc in the cupboards.
• Nikolas (10/5): Private and connected to nature - The rooms are super quiet and private located within a very large estate which was formerly a farm. They are comfortable and have everything you need. There is even a small cooker and some kitchenware if you want to prepare your own meals. You have access to the entire estate which includes large parts of pristine jungle to hike through on well maintained paths, a river, fields with horses, waterfalls for swimming and little mountains. The views of the volcano are stunning. There is also a labyrinth and various spaces to meditate or do yoga or get massages. The owners are very friendly and assist with everything including great tips of where to eat and what to do in the area. You can also spend a lot of time just at the property as it is so large and there is a lot on it to discover and relax. The place is very new and I am looking forward to see how it will evolve further. Definitely a place I want to return to.
• Paula (9/5): Superb - The small bungalow was perfectly set up when we arrived. It has everything you need, Coffee maker (although they have a better one in their kitchen), fridge, lanterns for the night (trust me, you need them as the bungalow is quite isolated from the reception, which make it more private and excepcional). Everything was great, Mark took very well care of us. We did not have car and he took us to a restaurant to be able to have diner as everything is quite far. He also recommended me a night tour and enjoy the day so much. Willing to go back with close eyes. Everything was great, but if I have to say something, maybe the humidity you feel at night in the room, I guess is something they can not control, has to do with the clima in La Fortuna. Location is very isolated, but for us was great as it was exactly what we wanted, maybe for others take it into consideration.
