For arrival, standard vehicle OK (albeit slow w potholes with some portions being unpaved roads), but 4x4 might be helpful. Highly recommend to get away from it all to chill.

The vibe is so relaxing. Access roads are not really suitable for small cars (4x4 required). Just a great place to unwind for a few days…additional, the restaurant is great and reasonably priced ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Steven May 22, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities After traveling on a dirt road with rocks, I arrived at the property, expecting it to be a resort and spar. I’m an older gentleman and they showed me my Accommodations and there was no air conditioning or television, and I walk with the brace and there were a lot of steps to walk up and down. I went to a beverage and salad. ##### Steven Stayed 1 night in May 2024 ### 2/10 Terrible #### Kristina Jan 12, 2024 Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service I wouldn’t recommend to stay here, most because the management is very unethical and overcharge you on everything, give inaccurate prices starting from their hotel menu to their booking activities, spas or transport. They charge triple the price for what it is, just be caution and double check everything you order from there, and always ask to see prices on the menu, they make stuff up. But really just recommend to avoid this place. The view from the property itself is beautiful and the only thing that made the stay manageable. ##### Kristina Stayed 4 nights in Dec 2023 ### 4/10 Poor #### Aimee Mar 1, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service Disliked: Property conditions & facilities Getting to this resort was incredibly difficult - if you’re traveling here, going through San Ramon is the ‘easier’ way but it’s scary. The resort is incredibly remote - more remote than I was expecting. It also looked to be run down and very little comforts for such a secluded place. Shortly after arriving, we were told by a couple that they had frequent visitors to dinner in the form of scorpions and tarantulas, and that each meal is pretty similar to the last. That gets old after a couple days. We ended up checking out an hour or so after checking in - it wasn’t what we were expecting and we didn’t feel like we’d be comfortable there for our stay.

A pesar de esto es un lugar al que espero volver y definitivamente recomendaría ##### Manuel Stayed 1 night in Jul 2022 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Mar 30, 2021 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Thank you!! Incredible views, staff and overall experience. The location is phenomenal -- surrounded by the mountains, looking out onto the jungle and the Pacific Ocean. Tip: regardless of where you are coming from, be sure to drive up the San Ramon side of Route 742 (there are portion that are unpaved on this route, but this is the very best option to get there). And once you arrive, so amazing and well worth the drive -- from the delicious fresh food, attentive staff, restorative activities (e.g., yoga, sound healing, forest bathing), and don't forget the spa, and so much more. I plan to come back again and highly recommend if you are looking for a magical experience! ##### Verified traveller Stayed 2 nights in Mar 2021 ### 8/10 Good #### WendyT, mp River Feb 20, 2020 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Loved the quiet off the beaten track area & the amazing view, but would be nice if they had shuttle service to town so those that didn’t have a car could get to the market. Spa & yoga are unreasonably expensive. First nite was greeted by a large tarantula in the dining area which kept trying to come back. No one kills them just moves them away. Apparently we were visiting in Tarantula season... good to know! Grounds are lovely! ##### WendyT Stayed 3 nights in Feb 2020 ### 8/10 Good #### Jacqueline, Sydney, Australia Dec 27, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities What a view. The outdoor pool was lovely, a bit fresh but it was nice to overlook the mountains. We were here for Christmas and enjoyed a nice dinner, the restaurant was very accommodating. Lovely place to visit. ##### Jacqueline Stayed 1 night in Dec 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Verified traveller Jul 16, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities The property is absolutely beautiful and very peaceful. Unfortunately we only stayed one night and should certainly have stayed longer to take advantage of more options. Staff was very friendly and helpful ##### Verified traveller Stayed 1 night in Jul 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Lisa Feb 20, 2019 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Wish we could have stayed longer This place is really amazing, just beautiful. From the accommodations to the food and the view. Every detail was thought of to maximize on the beautiful setting. My only recommendation would be to make sure that you arrive before dark as the drive to the hotel is on a sometimes unpaved and unlit mountain road. Also, and this is very important, take the 742 from San Ramon rather than the other entrance. ##### Lisa Stayed 1 night in Feb 2019 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Prila, Costa Rica Nov 5, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort Me gustó mucho mi estadia en este hotel. El personal es muy atento, la habitacion limpia y confortable. Las instalaciones son perfectas para relajarse y ponerse en contacto con la naturaleza. Lo unico no tan bueno es que los precios del restaurante son un poco caros. ##### Prila Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Stuart Nov 3, 2018 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort #### Amazing Vida mountain resort was beautiful peaceful, great facilities with a view to die for we arrived late at night and was greeted by Eric who could not be more helpful, and was for the rest of our stay as were all the staff. We woke up in the morning and as the mist disappeared it left the most amazing view. Lazed in the great pool and jacuzzi and don’t miss the fantastic breakfast or lunch for that matter. Can’t recommend vida more highly ##### Stuart Stayed 1 night in Nov 2018 ### 8/10 Good #### Dionisio Jun 28, 2025 Liked: Staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Dionisio Stayed 2 nights in Jun 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Xinia Gómez Sep 2, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Xinia Gómez Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Mark Feb 22, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities ##### Mark Stayed 1 night in Feb 2024 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-GreenLagoon-Arenal-Waterfall-Villas.h1823811.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Arenal Home](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Home.h106998039.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Family House](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Volcano-Family-House.h100387048.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Country Inn](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Country-Inn.h1309591.Hotel-Information) > > [Sibu Boutique Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Monteverde-Rustic-Lodge.h10561215.Hotel-Information) > > [Villas Playa Samara Beach Front Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/Samara-Hotels-Villas-Playa-Samara-Beach-Front-Resort.h888268.Hotel-Information) > > [Koora Hotel by Sandglass](https://www.expedia.ca/Monteverde-Hotels-Hotel-Aguti-Lodge-Reserve.h33594530.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Villas de la Colina](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-Hotel-Villas-De-La-Colina.h16015959.Hotel-Information) > > [Makanda by the Sea](https://www.expedia.ca/Quepos-Hotels-Makanda-By-The-Sea.h2328562.Hotel-Information) > > [Refugio Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Tamarindo-Hotels-Surf-House.h84012769.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Paraíso Resort & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Paraiso-Resort-Thermo-Mineral-Hot-Springs.h6612797.Hotel-Information) > > [Lands in Love Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/San-Ramon-Hotels-Lands-In-Love-Hotel.h1372764.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Monara](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Monara.h100643692.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Waterfall Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Green-Lagoon-Wellbeing-Resort.h6000473.Hotel-Information) > > [dream rest house](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Dream-Home.h34045315.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Las Palmas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Cabinas-Las-Palmas.h102212685.Hotel-Information) > > [Sueno Dorado Hot Springs Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Sueno-Dorado-Hot-Springs-Hotel.h93065344.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Relax & Hotsprings](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Relax-Hotsprings.h110402847.Hotel-Information) > > [Hilton Garden Inn Guanacaste Airport ](https://www.expedia.ca/Liberia-Hotels-Hilton-Garden-Inn-Liberia-Airport.h2211738.Hotel-Information) > > [Morada del Colibrí](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Morada-Del-Colibri.h95849383.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Cabinas Piedra Luna](https://www.expedia.ca/Aguas-Zarcas-Hotels-Cabinas-Piedra-Luna.h95878177.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Ribera La Paz](https://www.expedia.ca/Piedades-Norte-Hotels-Hotel-Ribera-La-Paz.h94667109.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Glamping](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Glamping.h76671841.Hotel-Information) > > [Maquenque Lodge](https://www.expedia.ca/Boca-Arenal-Hotels-Maquenque-Eco-Lodge.h4147006.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel Nosara](https://www.expedia.ca/Nosara-Hotels-Selina-Nosara.h32620956.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Poshpacker Boutique Urban Tropical Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-ARENAL-POSHPACKER.h68268780.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Orquideas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Orquideas.h16250520.Hotel-Information)
