Luxury Suite Bliss

I stayed in the luxury suite, and it was nothing short of very nice. The balcony with the jacuzzi was my favorite spot, offering stunning views of the Arenal Volcano. The room was beautifully decorated, clean, and the firm bed made every night of sleep a dream.

Delicious Breakfast Buffet

The breakfast buffet was a daily highlight! With an array of fresh fruits, eggs, and an absolutely amazing hot chocolate, it set the perfect tone for each day. I especially loved the attention to quality in every dish served.
