Guest Reviews
- Michelle (9/5): -
- Emmanuel (9/5): Excelente servicio al cliente y ubicación. - Aunque la habitación se sentía un poco vieja, el resto de los aspectos de este hotel no permiten que eso sea un impedimento. Las vistas al volcán son excelentes, el servicio al cliente es excepcional y las áreas del hotel son muy bonitas. El desayuno es buffet con platos mayormente típicos, recomendado. Nos brindaron late check in y late check out, el segundo por un costo adecuado. El único punto negativo en mi caso es que el hotel no permite mascotas.
- Ana (7/5): - Los trabajadores muy amables, las piscinas, el desayuno y la ubicación genial La puerta de la habitación no cerraba bien, y la habitación no estaba nada aislada. Teníamos lagartijas dentro, y escuchábamos a los vecinos de al lado como si estuvieran dentro de nuestra habitación. Las almohadas eran muy incomodas a parte de tamaño cojin.
- Ariana Guido (10/5): - Las instalaciones .
- Julia (10/5): -
- Alexander (9/5): - Haben den Aufenthalt genossen. In den heißen Quellen mit Aussicht auf den Arenal. Gut gelegen.
- Batts (9/5): - Continue the good service having containers for the ice would be nice
- Henry (6/5): -
- Karen (10/5): -
- Haregewoine (4/5): The only issue was where it is located, and I feel it was intentional - The location The room was isolated and animal noise was disturbing.
- Iván (10/5): -
- Patricia (9/5): Fabulous property - What a gorgeous hotel. The swimming pools were perfect for kids. We really enjoyed staying here great facilities, lovely restaurants and generous breakfast. Through our own doing we had to move rooms during our stay. Our first room was superior double and I would recommend that as they are at the back of the property. When we moved we were closer to the road and it was a bit noisy.
- Isabel (9/5): - Las piscinas termales son una maravilla. El desayuno muy bueno y variado. El primer día nos dieron una habitación al lado de la carretera y no pudimos dormir bien. La chica de recepción, muy amablemente nos cambió al día siguiente a una mucho mejor.
- Aitana (7/5): -
- Alex (5/5): Passable. Rooms old and tired but hot springs are lovely - The hot springs are lovely, a great feature after a long day of hiking. The pool and bar area are also very nice. The room was old and tired. The seals on the shower door were cracked, there was some sort of electrical box hanging in front of the TV so it wasn't watchable, the unit housing the refrigerator was supposed to be attached to the wall but had come loose and wobbled alarmingly. The hook for the towels in the bathroom had been placed directly above the toilet roll holder so if the towels were hung up, the toilet roll wasn't accessible. The restaurant was bleak and not welcoming, a bit like a cafeteria with folding chairs (this may have been due to them adding extra tables as it was a busy weekend though).
- Victoria (6/5): -
- Jesus (10/5): Awesome - Amazing location . Beautiful views A bit dated.
- Sara Patrícia (3/5): Muito para melhorar - Localização razoável e espaço exterior bonito Pouca higiene, quartos sujos e com baratas! Pequeno almoço horrível.
- Nizar (9/5): - On site hot springs are a nice perk
- Peggy (8/5): - Staffs and the hot springs The bathroom doesn’t have much ventilation
- Inna (10/5): Amazing - Very clean well-maintained territory.
Good breakfast.
Nice chilling music around hot springs.
Each room is in the separate building.
Enjoyable atmosphere Really nothing
- Sergio (10/5): -
- Ernesto (10/5): -
- Marta (7/5): -
- Andrey (7/5): - Vistas al volcán.
Piscinas con aguas termales.
Tranquilidad. No querían hacer late check out, aun que tienen esta opción pagando extra, y hotel estaba medio vacío.
Cucaracha en el baño. Desayuno pobre y no de la mejor calidad.
- Kane (8/5): -
- Guest (8/5): -
- Nelly (7/5): Un lugar bonito - La vista y el personal. En la habitación el AC sonaba extraño mucho ruido, difícil conciliar el sueño.
- Karin (8/5): -
- Richard (6/5): Incredible setting. - Incredible setting, great staff, and the most stunning pool bar ever. The bungalows are just a bit tired and need some TLC. Ask for a property away from the main road:
- Juan Carlos (10/5): -
- Katia (10/5): Excelente estadía - El personal muy amable, el desayuno bastante decente.
Me gustó el detalle de que la vegetación tenía sus infografia.
- Roumiana (9/5): - La amabilidad de todo el personal La calidad del café en las habitaciones puede mejorar.
Algunas mesas en el restaurante reciben sol directo durante el desayuno y obliga a pasarse de mesa.
- Neeraj (8/5): Beautiful resort but dated rooms - Beautiful landscaping throughout the property. Good volcano view. 10 minutes drive from the town. Awesome staff. Our room and furniture was dated and it didn't feel like a resort room.
- Hector (5/5): - Location and scenery Water pressure and temperature in the shower fluctuates too much.
- Heidi (7/5): Nice location for a short stay in Arenel with friendly and helpful staff. - The hot springs and view of the volcano are amazing. Laundry available on property same day. The rooms are a bit dated with limited bedding. Fixtures were loose, safe didn’t work (they came and replaced it) and very dark rooms (not enough)
- Hemant (9/5): -
- Daniele (7/5): Ottimo per le terme, buona posizione - Il vero valore aggiunto della struttura è il percorso termale, molto bello da fare soprattutto la sera dopo una giornata di trekking. Il contesto è bello e la posizione è ottima per ogni tipo di escursione si voglia fare nei pressi. In generale si è stati bene, ma con un po’ di delusione per la camera. Le camere sono molto basiche e vecchiotte, il bagno era veramente datato e non aveva la luce vicino allo specchio. È capitato che facesse freddo una notte e a parte una copertina non c’era modo di scaldare la stanza. Il cibo del ristorante è pessimo e costoso, meglio uscire e cenare altrove.
- Guest (8/5): -
- maria (10/5): Estancia agradable con todas las comodidades e instalaciones cercano a los tours que realizamos - Hermoso el lugar disfrutamos de hacer el conopy con muy buenos guías y todo el equipo de seguridad
Igualmente disfrutamos de los termales del hotel y el desayuno muy completo
- vithal (9/5): - Calm - hot springs and cleanliness Food options
- Aaron (10/5): -
- Xochitl (9/5): -
- Victor (8/5): Great place, awesome view. Excellent services. - Everything Order room service and they didn’t have an specific menu. They should improve that.
Beds should be bigger.
- Florentina (10/5): - Veldig fint! Mange forskjellige hot springs og mange fasiliteter.
- Lindsey (8/5): -
- Stephanie (10/5): Vistas hermosas y personal amable. - El alojamiento está sobre la carretera principal, tiene una vista espectacular hacia el volcán y las piscinas súper limpias y bien cuidadas. El desayuno súper delicioso y el personal muy amable. Fui con mi hijo y mi bebé y todo súper bien. Todo estaba bien.
- Heather (8/5): Friendly staff, great food. - The steakhouse was delicious! Really good bar and view of Arenal. This is a very kid friendly property. The property is dated and the hot spring pools small.
- Amarilis (9/5): - La comida era exquisita y la atencion excelente El baño no tiene piso antideslizante y las toallas de baño son de tamaño pequeño.
- laura (10/5): - Las piscinas, las instalaciones, el desayuno La conección del internet
- Almir Barros (10/5): -
- Alejandro (7/5): -
- Maria (10/5): -
- Marjorie (10/5): Toooop - Les bains l’emplacement le personnel la piscine avec le bar Petit déjeuner bruyant
- maya (5/5): Two and a half star experience. - Some of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room and facilities were so basic and old that I would barely say this was a 3 star hotel, let alone 4 star. I can only attribute this to ownership ir upper management; it’s not because the workers on site aren’t doing their jobs. Our cabin had an actual dump next to it.
- paola (10/5): Naturaleza y relax - Excelente ubicación, el entorno hermoso, muy cómodo, el spa es fantástico Bárbara excelente profesional me relaje muchísimo, restaurante y bar excelente con mucha variedad, las piscinas termales maravillosas con vistas hermosas y avistamiento de aves, ardillas, iguanas, etc. La atención de todo el personal fantástica hacen todo para que tu estancia sea espectacular.
- Nicole (7/5): Was good for a last minute booking - Really cute bungalows and the property has everything you need. Super friendly staff from the cleaning ladies to the servers in the restaurant and the reception. Spacious and clean rooms. The facilities definitely need upgrading as it doesn’t justify the price.
- Petra (9/5): -
- Rodriguez (10/5): Pura Vida! - The property stands out for its exceptional friendliness and outstanding customer service. The staff went above and beyond to assist us, especially after we made a mistake in our reservation. Their unwavering support helped us feel confident and at ease throughout the entire process. This level of care and dedication truly makes the property a lovable and top choice for anyone seeking a welcoming and accommodating experience. Nothing they did everything wonderful
- Edwin (10/5): We had a magical stay primarily because of the excellent staff, excellent facilities, and excellent location - This was an entirely magical property.
- Petra (9/5): Moderate Ausstattung, schöne Parkanlage - Lage und Gelände mit Aussicht auf Vulkan, schöne Bepflanzung und hot pools Sehr kommerziell
- Alejandro (10/5): I would come back again - Amazing views of the volcano. We got room 259 which was very conveniently located close to the hot springs, pool and restaurants. The pool restaurant despite being comfort food, was good quality and convenient to have dinner quick after getting out of the pool. Everyone in the staff was kind and nice. We had dinner in the main restaurant once and it was disappointing.
- Jerome (8/5): -
- Leon Gomez (10/5): Maravillosa - Excelente todo ,el lugar acogedor, hermoso, el trato de todo el personal fue de lo mejor No hubo nada
- Varun (9/5): - Perfect location. Friendly staff. Hot springs were nice. Great breakfast and close to everything in La fortuna.
- Paola (8/5): Bueno precio / calidad - Ubicación, precio - comida Termales un poco descuidadas e instalaciones, la pintura de la entrada estaba un poco descuidada
- veronique (9/5): - Le jardin avec les bassins d eau chaude. Le cadre est très joli, + piscine, restaurant avec vue sur le volcan. J ai adoré mon rapide séjour. Très relaxant apres plusieurs excursions dans la région. Les chambres sont jolies et le lit très confortable. Les chambres ne sont pas du tout isolées au niveau sonore.
- Daniel (7/5): - Camere mari cu vedere la vulcan, terasa cu balansoare, multe păsări pe prprietate.
Bazine cu ape termale
Peisaj frumos. Chiar daca am rezervat din timp am primit o căsuță departe de facilități, la marginea proprietății. Hotelul nu are halate de baie. Am fost nevoiți să folosim mașina până la bazine.
Toaleta a scos zgomote tot timpul, deranjant mai ales nopțile. La final toaleta s-a stricat.
Căsuță din lemn este veche cu crăpături exterioare. Căsuța din lemn și instalațiile trebuie reparate.
- Neussa (8/5): 100% recommended - Everything from the cleanliness and welcoming staff to the pool and awesome volcano view. The surface around the thermal pools was a little slippery.
- Liliana Rosa Fabbian (10/5): Excelente - El parque, las instalaciones, la ubicación, la amabilidad del personal, todo. Nada
- Carole-Anne (8/5): Bel hôtel mais un peu cher pour les prestations et la chambre en elle-même - Les bains d’eau chaude, l’emplacement juste en face du Volcan La décoration de la chambre
- Marc (8/5): -
- Rodolphe (9/5): -
- Claude (8/5): Bien - Emplacement confort et parc eaux thermales Petit déjeuner ou on pousse à partir à 8 h15 2 émission jour pour libère salle et absence d œuf omelette le premier jour dans notre salle
- Emilie (6/5): -
- Eduardo (7/5): Fue buena - Las instituciones muy buenas No funcionaron las aguas termales y ese era nuestro objetivo principal
- Carole (8/5): - Les sources chaudes intégrées, la piscine, la vue et la proximité des toucans La proximité de la route pour notre logement
- Ralph (8/5): The pool, restaurant and warm thermal pools were very satisfying. - Good location, nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast. I don’t recall disliking anything.
- Darlene (10/5): Amazing experience - The view and staff was amazing
- Yaiza (1/5): CALIDAD DE LA HABITACIÓN PÉSIMA - Lo único bueno el personal que esa súper agradable, especialmente los del restaurante. Las zonas comunes son muy bonitas pero no sirven de nada si por una noche te cobran casi 200 dólares y me tengo que lavar el pelo en el lavabo de manos porque de la ducha sale un chorro de agua de nada. Para gastaros ese dinero iros a otro con mejores condiciones en la habitación. No pudimos ducharnos, cortaron el agua toda la tarde sin avisar, lavándome los dientes y las manos con una botella de agua que había comprado yo misma, al día siguiente salía un chorro de agua de nada y tuve que lavarme el pelo en el lavabo y por supuesto no hubo compensación de alguna manera.
- Sarah (10/5): -
- Kinville (9/5): Overall it was great and I would come back but plan on eating lunch and dinner out. - location, concierge staff were helpful with helping me make choices and reservations for tours, hot springs pool, room, on site horseback riding was challenging and fun. The food was fair, nothing special. American dishes were the choices. I would have enjoyed more authentic Costa Rican dishes.

- Nick (5/5): Great location but co dated - Location great Dated
- Silvia (10/5): -
- Lynn (10/5): - Lovely hotel and the thermal pools were amazing, reception staff very helpful. One waiter was rude and over bearing.
No tea one morning !!
- G (9/5): Schöner Aufenthalt / gute Lage - Nettes Personal. Guter Service. Sehr gutes Frühstück. Schöner Blick auf den Vulkan Etwas hellhöriges Zimmer
- Dharmendrakumar (8/5): - hot water spring
- José Miguel Bolaños (10/5): Great value for price - amazing staff - Location is excellent, as it is close enough to city center for availability of any needs. Has amazing views of the volcano. Is one of the few hotels that actually has hot springs within premises at an affordable price. Staff was incredibly accomodating and very helpful. Food was very good, even if slightly expensive at the bar, although it is a touristy area. Everything was kept very clean, specially the walkways which are important to not slip and fall given how much water is around the hot springs. Lighting at night was a little low, specially for walking from the cabins to the restaurants. This could maybe be improved, as it seems that the lighting is based on solar energy perhaps. However, it is the only minor flaw I can think of.
- Lester (9/5): Beautiful grounds with wonderful thermal pools. - Beautiful grounds. Room was clean , comfortable and quiet. Staff was friendly and helpful. Included breakfast is superb. Last day of our stay the tour busses rolled in.
- Alexander (8/5): Nice hot springs - Location All was ok
- Noni Figueroa (9/5): - Las vistas son increíbles. Desde cualquier punto tienes el volcán justo al frente, por lo que puedes desayunar, bañarte en las aguas termales e incluso levantarte viendo el volcán. Es algo mágico. Es un sitio de mucha paz rodeado de naturaleza y jardines preciosos, para desconectar totalmente y descansar si vienes de días agitados en el viaje. El desayuno riquísimo y muy completo, y las habitaciones grandes y cómodas. El baño es enorme y hay una nevera en la habitación que considero, es un extra super útil. Ademas si vienes en coche, puedes aparcar justo fuera de tu estancia. Recomendadisimo!!
- Carolina (9/5): Ótimo hotel sobretudo pela comida localização e simpatia dos funcionários - A comida, simpatia dos empregados e a zona de águas termais. Pequeno almoço bom, no bar da piscina pratos rápidos, no restaurante pratos mais elaborados. Tudo com muito cuidado, sabor, ótima culinária local!
Localização muito boa, a meio caminho das várias atividades que realizámos na região. Quarto já a merecer renovação, casa de banho pequena para 4 hóspedes.
- Derek (7/5): Great place but constant pressure to TIP everyone. - Hot springs Constant pressure to TIP everyone.
- Avi (10/5): -
- Valeria (8/5): -
- Yglesias (9/5): Hotel com piscinas e jardins maravilhosos, com ótimo pequeno-almoço e excelentes vistas para o vulc. - O hotel está muito bem localizado. Funcionários excelentes e muito prestativos, jardins lindos e muito bem cuidados. As piscinas termais são muito boas e rústicas com água a diferentes temperaturas. Pequeno-almoço almoço muito bom e variado. Só não dei nota máxima porque o quarto é a casa de banho são antigos e já mereciam uma modernização. Mas nada que nos tenha estragado a estadia porque todos os outros serviços e equipamentos eram ótimos. Quartos precisam de modernização.
- Jerome (8/5): Good for the thermal baths - The thermal baths. The rooms The installations are not in perfect condition.
