We stayed here for our honeymoon and really loved it. The vibe is tropical and intimate. It was very romantic. The staff are extremely friendly all the time and the spas are incredible. Awesome if you are looking for the jungle side of Costa Rica near the Arenal Volcano.

Villa with Rainforest Pool and view of Arenal Volcano was beautiful. Staff was amazing in every department. Food was great at all restaurants we tried.

We had a wonderful stay overall and truly enjoyed the property as part of my husband’s birthday trip. The resort is beautiful, the accommodations were excellent, and we appreciated the peaceful setting. Unfortunately, our experience was impacted on the final day due to a miscommunication regarding our airport transfer. I had confirmed transportation the day before and was instructed to be at the front desk at 7:20 AM. We arrived early, but it became clear that the request had not been properly relayed to the team. As a result, we departed nearly an hour late and came very close to missing our only nonstop flight home—which would have significantly disrupted our schedule. While this was a frustrating end to an otherwise lovely trip, we do hope to return. Next time, I will be sure to double-confirm any arrangements made with the staff to avoid similar issues.
