The views are spectacular. I wasn’t expecting to be able to look out of my window and have such a clear view of the volcano. It was really amazing. We did not have hot showers during our stay and that was the only downfall. The front desk staff said that it was not a normal occurrence.

This hotel was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. The staff were incredibly nice and would check up with us whenever we ran into them. They were extremely accommodating to our needs and also helped us plan different activities. Overall amazing stay but just keep in mind that walking up the road to the hotel is intense and you should probably have some sort of transportation going up!

Beautiful property with Lake and Volcano views (weather permitting ;) and restaurant (many selections), pool, hot tubs and trails, gym, lobby (with garden and games). Up/down a winding road, we rarely drove after dark. Helpful front desk, especially the gentleman with (grey?) glasses, who connected our young family with a lovely zipline and hot springs experience. Would stay again! Possibly closer to amenities in rainy season.

Property sits in a very quiet area. Away from the city. I enjoyed the stay even though we had a few hiccups with the AC leaking. It caused the floor to have lots of water I almost slipped. Told front desk and response was “make sure the doors and windows are closed while AC is on and don’t put at a low temperature.” Okay.

The hotel was amazing along with the staff. The grounds and views were beautiful! An authentic beautiful place. The view from our junior suite was the best I’ve seen in Costa Rica. And the massages in the spa were fantastic.
View from room 308- a junior suite for a great price!

Great stay.
We loved the trails, restaurant and most definitely the chalet. The window view of the volcano was incredible. No one told us we needed a ticket fir check-out. The gentleman at the gate, only do his job, refused to let us leave. It was 545 in the morning. No one was available to tell him to let us out. I ended up getting mad and he let us go. It was sad that our goodbye was like that. The front desk should have told us. Poor guy was just doing his job.
