Beautiful property offering a free traditional CR breakfasts. Property is about 20 minutes from downtown La Fortuna and 3.5 hours from San Jose Airport so the travel is a little hard. The showers had great water pressure and the view of Arenal Volcano was great when the weather cleared. The only thing I would recommend is having a setting area to eat food at, which you can bring food back from town or order room service. We had a relaxed day at the spa with the rain hitting the roof and the sound of the river. It was a great property and the staff is incredibly kind and friendly!

The natural beauty surrounding the resort is stunning. Views of the volcano from the balcony were spectacular. We spent each morning on our balcony with a cup or two of coffee. Toucans paid us a vist twice. The staff did all they could to ensure our needs were met, and they're friendly and polite demeanor was so very much appreciated. A special shout out to Adrian and Nicole at the reception desk and all the restaurant staff. Plenty of activities in the area kept us busy. Animal sightings were good with sloths, monkeys, iguanas, bats, coaties and crocodiles all spotted. The hiking trails within the resort are other worldly. Just a fantastic time!
