Great place to stay to visit Arenal volcano. A bit away from the noice and the traffic of la Fortuna which is good.

Room was large and comfortable. Food was excellent, bird watching was very interesting. Other services including a cold pool and a pool table were available but we haven't used it. A nice place to stay. Tours at reasonable prices are also available.

Good service, friendly staff, good area, a bit noisy from the other rooms and the front office, a litte ugly smell in the room and the water pressure at the shower is a shame

Lovely view of Arenal volcano from the dining area. Definitely have the reception desk book all your excursions and transportation for you. They are very helpful and can get you good rates. John was very helpful in making travel arrangements for me. Just 3 short blocks from central zone of town.

Loved breakfast (not included) and bird watching in the mornings, the sloth tour with Armando offered through the hotel was amazing and well worth the price. Location was great, short and safe walk to town (bring a flashlight or phone light). Beds weren’t the best and the sheets were musty but we slept so well and weren’t bothered by any noise.

Centrally located but receptionist tried to get us to pay in cash at a higher rate than listed on Expedia

Fantastic place! Tucked away on a dead end road, so very quiet, with wonderful views of both the volcano and great bird watching at the bird feeding stations. We can’t recommend the Sloth tour with Armando enough. Make sure you do it if at all possible!

Great staff! Solid location just in town but bordering natural area. Local staff took us on a little frog walk to show us frogs on the property. The breakfast and dinner area is a nice terrace with a stunner view of Arenal and some areas for birds to come eat fruit. Very pleasant. Overall a great stay!

The manager Jose did an amazing job! They have an onsite restaurant which has an amazing view of the volcano. To top it off there are about 200 birds that come for the morning while you eat to feed on the fruits they hang. Also they offer us a " mini night hike" for free ( we tipped of course) around the property which has a bunch of frogs , toads and insects to see which we wouldn't have been able to see otherwise. The room was "huge" and our kids loved being in a separate room from us. Very close to everything!

Beautiful hotel in a quiet location but still near the center of town. Wonderful property where I saw birds and other kinds of wildlife. The rooms were a little older but we didn't mind. Highly recommend the breakfast with a view of the volcano.

This place is amzing, especially for the price. Rooms are large and clean. Close to town so you can walk in for dinner. Very helpful in booking tours and their tour prices are cheaper than anywhere else we saw. The back deck overlooked undeveloped land and the bird feeder attracted many interesting birds including tucans! We would definately stay here again!
5.0 / 10.0
The staff were top notch. Very friendly and extremely helpful. They welcome you with a refreshing cold juice.
The location is next to the nature reserve so you can actually see some wildlife if you are lucky. Also within walking distance to the town center without all the noise and chaos.
Room was big and full of amenities, including coffee and a jar of cookies. Ample parking space.

This is a great hotel, the location is perfect. The effort they put into attracting an amazing array of birds makes this the best place to stay in the area, and the great breakfasts make you never want to leave.

The staff was very helpful with giving us suggestions of activities and directions. This is a new hotel. I would like to give some suggestions. A trash can in the kitchen area would be very helpful. The toilet seat was for the wrong size toilet and there is no sound barriers. We could hear the conversations in the office In our room. Also we could hear other people in other rooms and outside. I still give this place a high review. We would stay again.

Staff amazing. More geared toward locals, foreigners may find it a bit rustic or basic but overall is VERY NICE. The gardens, the property is upkept very well. Will definitely come back and be surrounded by nature.
4.0 / 10.0
Very cheap hotel (21US$/night) for the location and very close to restaurants, grocery store and shops.
Staff very friendly and helpful with many choices of activities.
Bogarin trail right next to the hotel (100meters) with discounted price (8US$) is a must, we saw many sloths and birds!
Hotel is still in construction but will sure become awesome.
Room had AC, fridge, cookies and coffee machine which was great.
Room was spacious but a strong urine smell when we arrived (we had to let the door open few hours)!
Overall enjoyed our stay and recommand!

This hotel was very good value for money and the staff were very friendly and helpful. The room seemed to have a damp smell initially but this went once the AC was on. Room had a fridge and filter coffee machine and nice cookies other wise fairly basic. Great for the budget conscious traveler who just needs a place to sleep while exploring the area during the day.

The staff always go above and beyond to ensure you have a great stay! The hotel property borders a park so it’s an amazing place to watch birds.

We definitely recommend the room for the money. It‘s a fair price and the rooms are big and clean. Only the shower/toilets could be cleaner but it was ok. Would return.

Very acceptable lower cost lodging. It worked well for our family of 6 adults for 2 nights. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit with a kitchenette. I think if 6 people are allowed, there should be enough glasses,plates and utensils for 6. Otherwise it was as described and convenient for visiting the nearby area..
2.0 / 10.0
Most staff were very friendly but one time the only person at the front desk was new to CR and did not understand English so could not help with recommendations.
If you are a no-frills person who simply wants a clean, safe, quiet, spacious, very convenient location and very economical place- this is a perfect place! A 5 minute walk to town but feel like you are in the middle of nowhere. We would definitely stay here again.
However if you are looking for anything like a Holiday Inn, definitely not the place for you.
Very little room service (we stayed more than one night) just made the bed but no new towels etc. (although probably would have given them to us if we had thought to ask) nothing for breakfast (although there are very reasonable priced and delicious restaurants nearby costing approximately $5), once inside your place, the walls between bathroom and between rooms does not go completely to the ceiling, so no privacy in your apt/within your room and not completely dark in your room until all lights are turned off. However full privacy between guest rooms etc
2.0 / 10.0
I did not like the Cleanliness, and also there were small holes in the floor, which led to lots of bugs in the area. Extremely dissatisfied with my choice of this hotel. Also, the location of the hotel was behind the whole town, which was a bit freaky because it was all alone.
