Property was clean, spacious and it had all you needed in regards to toiletries. Breakfast was delicious and contained variarity. It was served in the balcony which was a nice touch. Now, what we did not like was that location was difficult to get to, description never mentioned you needed a 4x4 to get there, which fortunately we had. GPS was not accurate (not the hotel fault). Also internet was not working all 3 days we stayed. And yes we where on vacation,but due to the location of the property we did not have any cellphone connection, we relied on wifi. Peace of mind in case of emergency. I do have to add hotel was kind enough to allow us to check out one day early and refunded the money for that night.

We loved the view of Arenal volcano and all the birds that were visible from our deck.

An absolute peaceful and romantic place to stay. The only downfall was that you had to be on the patio to have wifi and there is no cell towers for data.

When we checked in and Arith took us into the room there were dead bugs all over the floor and many more still flying around. He went and got a broom to sweep up the dead ones. Later that night I realized a bunch of tiny ants on the wall and was going to let Arith know the next day. The next day the ants were everywhere and covering my computer and my cpap machine. Just hundreds all over everything and I messaged to let Arith know. His response was he had some insecticide. I messaged to see if he was at the office and after 15 minutes I walked over and found him outside. He gave me a can of insecticide and then said that were in the wildlife and ants and bugs should be expected. Ive stayed at a few hotels around Arenal and this was the first time I have ever dealt with so many bugs and staff not willing to do something themseleves to correct the issue. Also, I was supposed to get breakfast daily but he only ever gave me one pass. I didnt want to deal with him anymore after the whole bug issue.

The property and rooms are fantastic, secluded in a picturesque setting. If the clouds break up, the view of the volcano is stunning. Getting to it, however, proved treacherous, as the property is approx. 1 mile off the main road, on a dirt/gravel road full of pot holes and small boulders. There is also a very steep incline which my rental car had difficulty climbing, losing power on the ascent. I had to coast backwards to get a running start at it both days we were there, ending up in the ditch the first time. A powerful, high profile vehicle is necessary to access this property safely.

The suites had a beautiful view and were in a lovely area. The only downside is the rocky road and distance from the town of Fortuna. I definitely enjoyed my stay here, the sunrise was amazing to watch from bed. Getting in contact with them was very easy on whatsapp, and they were more than helpful. A tiny aside is that I wish there had been an option to deny housekeeping, as I don't like to waste resources.

Secluded Resort
Suite was very nice, secluded and private. 35 min from town, 20 from Tabacon. Great views of Arenal. Close to a hanging bridge activity and canyoning activity. The suite had a kitchen for food prep as there is no restaurant on site (mini fridge, hot plate, one pan, one pot, silverware set, cutting board, toaster, small coffee machine). The closest restaurant was 10 min drive down the dirt road for breakfast (included with the stay - 3 options - fruit, continental, or traditional Costa Rican). Downside - the road was quite rocky / rough - you will want to arrive in daylight to navigate. The other downside was the hot water was VERY limited - the in suite jacuzzi was great but we had to take over an hour to fill it (stop/start to get hot water).

Endroit merveilleux !
exactement comme sur les photos ! Endroit propre, confortable, calme, tout pour un excellent séjour. a noter toutefois qu'il faut faire 4 km sur une piste pour accéder à l'hôtel
