This is a very low budget resort. We were without hot water for the entirety of our stay. The breakfast offered was nothing to talk about. The thermal springs and pools was the nicest part as it allowed us to be outside our room that was so poor to even stay in. The nicest thing was the springs cat that stayed outside and greeted us.

Great hotel and hot springs

My girlfriend and I stayed at this awesome hotel at the base of Volcano Arenal. Our check in was super easy and the office staff was friendly and helpful. The bartender, Jose, provided conversation and incredible drinks. Our hotel room was clean, food was good. Views and hot springs were perfect. We would love to stay here again.

We stayed for 5 nights. I like the early check in to be able to use the amenities fro the whole day. It is an older resort, however it was really clean and the staff were absolutely lovely. The multiple pools were great, nice to be able to move around to different ones with different temperatures. I liked the location of the resort, easy access to all the activities.

Nice hot pools and one cold pool for swimming. The shower did not always have hot water and the light over the toilet did not work. Housekeeping service was great and the room was kept clean. Reception checking in and out was slow. Breakfast was a little too salty. Good location close to town.

We loved our stay here. Ariana was very welcoming on our arrival and all the staff were very helpful. Breakfast was a nice buffet style with good food. We enjoyed the friendliness of Jose, at the bar, even thought we don't drink. Molly the resident puppy is very sweet. Being able to park right by your room is great. The showers don't get very hot, but it was okay. We loved sitting in the warmest pool after a day of hiking. There were toucans around and we loved watching them eat the palm berries.

Smaller budget friendly resort with hot springs

Very nice staff. Small grounds with great views of Volcano. Boutique size place, maybe only 10 rooms and nice but small pool deck and 4 hot springs. Great breakfast, very convenient in and out location with a car. Not a fancy big resort place but was absolutely fine and budget friendly, would recommend no problem. Other "grand" volcano hot spring resorts were actually sold out so I picked this one and was very happy, and was lower cost overall with a great breakfast and very friendly staff. No restaurant for evening meals FYI. Not that kind of resort place. I liked the larger hot spring by the bar with music playing and in the sun with a view of the volcano, I spent an afternoon hanging out there in the spring and talking to people, looking at the volcano and getting drinks from the bar.

This property is not worth the money. It is as same as any motel service. No proper check in, no chafer service, rooms are dirty, breakfast served late, not a good breakfast. Overall, I would not pay hefty amount that they are charging for, it is worthless.
