The property and staff were absolutely amazing! The views are stunning. Dinner was so good and the upper heated pool is more like a hot tub. The spa services were equally amazing! I can’t wait to come back!

Best ever from the minute we arrived. We got lost into a peaceful experience watching nature from our balcony and an always changing view of the volcano. Set a goal to bring the whole family here, and not too far from the action in La Fortuna. Wonderful on every way!

This property was a dream. We loved the beautiful view, the rooms were clean, large outdoor patios with 2 chairs, the staff was polite and accommodating. It’s about a 25 minute drive to downtown Fortuna so close enough to visit during the day, but far enough that you aren’t in the middle of the hustle and bustle. Everything was just wonderful

This was an amazing resort with the best staff ever! Food was great, room view amazing, good hike on the property. The rain at night made for some great sleep and well as the birds and critters singing all night! I would recommend 10/10 to anyone!

This hotel is AMAZING! The view and atmosphere is unbelievable. It is on a mountain so there is some climbing to do but so worth it! The staff are friendly and helpful. It is a little ways from the town so I recommend a rental car. I would stay there again!
