Our stay at the hotel was truly memorable! The breathtaking view of the volcano from the room was a highlight, and the amenities, especially the pools, were wonderful. However, we did experience a minor issue upon arrival with our room registration, which added some initial confusion that could have been avoided.

This hotel is a real hidden gem nestled in the rainforest, and I can't recommend it enough! The rooms are spacious, clean, and come with fantastic views of the volcano. The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a great experience, although getting a taxi back from town proved a bit challenging. The dining options were good, with tasty meals that sometimes exceeded what we found in La Fortuna. While it's a bit of a distance from town, it's centrally located for many adventures nearby.
