Every meal we had at the hotel restaurant was excellent. The pool and oversized, covered hot tub was a treat. The grounds are beautiful. The staff are very friendly and made sure we had everything we needed.
The attentive staff can help you arrange day trips. The best reason to stay at this hotel is the opportunity to go on an excursion that cannot be arranged anywhere else. They have an arrangement with a local Costa Rican “Cowboy” who will take you on an 8 hour adventure into the mountains …initially on horseback, then by foot to a secluded waterfall in the rain forest. We had the swimming hole to ourselves and what a refreshing swim! Our guide, Nixon was very attentive and wanted us to have the best experience possible. We saw numerous Toucans in the trees, and on the ride back to the farm Nixon came upon a baby ocelot near the trail !!
This day trip was the most memorable day of our 10 days in Costa Rica. I should note that Nixon’s english isn’t great, but we got by. His dad cooked us lunch while we hiked to the waterfall, and it was “OK” but it was truly a meal that a cowboy would get on a trail, and the rustic shelter might put some people off, but the whole experience was authentic to the core.

Lovely hotel, Unique excursion option!
This beautiful hotel has charming individual cottages which are decorated very nicely, each one differently…We stayed in the honeymoon cottage, a one bedroom unit which was very spacious. It had a small heart shaped hot tub in it. The tile work is beautiful, and everything about the decor is very nice. Our secluded porch overlooked Lake Arenal and the surrounding mountains. We also looked out onto a hillside where horses grazed.
A wonderful hotel in an amazing setting.
A wonderful hotel in an amazing setting. Waking up to flocks of parrots in a large, private and well appointed bungalow is just the start. The Bistro and bar is staffed with friendly and attentive Ticos. I’ll definitely be back!
Just beautiful, very friendly staff, good food.

Absolutely Amazing!
We would highly recommend this place!! It is located a bit away from the town, but it’s totally worth it. The stunning views of the lake surrounded by lush greens. The cool infinity pool that overlooks the lake, and the very nice hot tub. Our cottage was charming & rustic. The grounds were well-maintained. Felt so peaceful & beautiful. The staff are all super friendly, warm and welcoming. In particular, Dahmien & Christopher were so helpful & so patient with our many questions before the trip, so it was great that we got to meet them in person during our stay. They were so fun & friendly that we felt right at home as if we’d been friends long before. They also went above & beyond to make sure we were comfortable, and that we enjoyed our stay with them. We had a little issue with our key the 1st night, but they came right away to take care of it. It was our parents’ anniversary on Christmas, and they helped arrange a surprise cake for after dinner. Also, the food at their restaurant was so delicious! We had breakfast & dinner at the restaurant each day during our stay, and we enjoyed all of our meals with them. We also took advantage of the 2-for-1 happy hour specials – the cocktails were great!! Absolutely fantastic, top-notch service!
Fyi, you are staying out in nature so yes, there will be mosquitos, bugs, and other living creatures (like geckos!) in the area. I absolutely cannot stand bugs but had no worries while staying here. Our cottage, the grounds, the pool, the restaurant… everything was well-maintained. We had bug repellent bracelets & we just made sure to open/close our front doors quickly at night so mosquitos wouldn’t follow us in. So if I can survive, you probably can too! Oh, and they also had pretty decent Wi-Fi considering you’re out in nature!
Thank you for making our stay so amazing!! We cannot wait to come back for another visit =)
Amazing
My husband and I spent 3 nights in this hotel. It’s beautiful, peaceful with a stunning view. A piece of heaven. The room we had was huge, comfortable and clean. Really friendly staff. Breakfast was fine, but dinner quite disappointing.
Would definitely return
ad a wonderful dinner at their Le Bistro restaurant. Enjoyed it very much, staff was terrific, and the view was wonderful. Would definitely return.
