Food was not the best, plus the thermal water pool looked green and murky. It didn’t looked like the other thermal waters around the area. The room was nice but some how not well maintained. I found a spider web around the light next to the bed and bathroom mirror was little dirty on the first day. After that, the lady who cleaned the room did a great job on cleaning the room. The whole facility is beautiful.

We stayed for 5 nights and loved the location as it was quiet but close enough to drive to La Fortuna and to activities. It was very quiet all the time, which is exactly what we were looking for. The grounds are absolutely beautiful with a view of the volcano too. Not all the hot springs were open and not sure why but the ones that were, were so great. We enjoyed them in the day and after dinner. The pool was refreshing! The breakfast buffet was pretty good and had quite a few vegan options. We did have to ask for soy milk daily but we were glad they had it. We bought some granola at the grocery store and had it with the other items available. We had a superior room and feel this is where the hotel is not doing so great. The rooms are old and tired and really need updated, especially the bathrooms. The chairs on our deck were mouldy and really unusable. The rooms smell musty and are always damp, which isn’t really that surprising since it’s a rainforest but I think some extra cleaning and closing gaps in the doors and windows to outside could help with the dampness and also the bugs. The staff were friendly and always helpful. Overall, our stay was good but we wouldn’t stay here again, especially for how expensive it was.

The people, except at check-in desk, were incredibly friendly, polite and professional. The food was excellent and the bartenders were amazing. The room was small, the TV very small. I could not access an electrical outlet anywhere near the bed. The mattress was firm and comfortable and everything was clean throughout.

I can’t say enough about this property. It truly is Paradise. It’s a hidden gym in Costa Rica. You can truly amaze with What you get the value for your money. This place is pristine in the middle of arenal volcano, next to shops and other restaurants and other Springs. It’s very drivable. The property itself is Paradise. It’s beautiful. It’s big, it’s guacamole in the springs are located inside the property and also offer zip lining a horseback riding. It has two restaurants in the property as well.

Rude and brown water springs

Rude girl at the front desk. I asked about a possible upgrade due to platinum status and she rolled her eyes and said it would be $40. Didn’t even look. She was also rude when I came by the office for a local question. The hot springs are brown water. I realize it’s the minerals but other hotels in the area as well as Rico springs are clear. Swimwear beware!

We were very exited to come to this place . But Randy on the front desk was very rude and unpleasant to talk to . He give us the information about our room and every thing but his attitude toward us was like he was mad to be there . First time come to this hotel and were received in a very disrespectful way and we got a very rude person just to start our stay . No good for business .
