Great place!
We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano right from our porch. Very quiet place with lots of birds. The gardens were beautiful on the property. We had a car so it was a short 5 min drive to La Fortuna.

Love and care from the owner of the property shows. We particularly like the fact that the property is 5 min drive away from busy downtown. Tucked away in nature. Enjoy beautiful sounds of wildlife, garden, and some bird watching. Breakfast and dinner options offered are delicious with local ingredients.

Great cabin for family of 4. It’s nicely situated a few minutes from town, away from the busy La Fortuna. The grounds are incredible. Beautiful landscape with lots of nature. Lots of birds and a nice hiking trail right on the property. We loved our stay there and would gladly return.

The hotel grounds are beautiful with many tropical plants, flowers and birds including a parrot and a toucan. The hotel advertises a restaurant but it is only open for breakfast.

We loved that the property was in a quiet area with amazing views of Arenal volcano. The grounds are lovely and there is a rainforest with a trail adjacent to the property. We saw hummingbirds, toucans, guans, and oropendula each morning. The staff was friendly and housekeeping kept our porch tidy and rooms clean. Overall, a great experience.
