What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences
Very nice Dining Experience
Every meal we had at the lodge was simply fantastic. Although some dishes felt rich due to the cheese, everything was delicious. The dining area offered stunning views, especially during sunset. We looked forward to happy hour at 5-6 pm with affordable drinks. Enrique, our waiter, was incredibly attentive and made our experience even more enjoyable.

Stunning Room Views
We stayed in a room facing the Arenal volcano which gave us amazing views every morning. The room had a lovely patio where we could enjoy watching birds and other wildlife. The ambiance of the room was serene, and we loved waking up to the sounds of the forest. This experience was truly magical.

Relaxing Pool Area
The pool area was exquisite! We spent hours enjoying the cold pool and relaxing in the jacuzzi afterward. The grounds were well-maintained, presenting a beautiful backdrop of nature. After a long day of hiking, soaking in the warm water was the perfect way to unwind.

Fantastic Hiking Trails
The lodge had an impressive network of hiking trails directly accessible from the grounds. We hiked for over two hours and saw a variety of flora and fauna. The guided walk was insightful and allowed us to appreciate the natural beauty and diversity of the area. It is paradise for nature lovers!
