"PLUSES: Surroundings are gorgeous and lots of trails and things to do; full of birds for Birders, and various other animals. The staff was (mostly) professional, knowledgable and friendly. The grounds and rooms are very clean. The included breakfast is quite tasty with a variety of options. CONCERNS: The property is isolated, as it is 40 mins w/ no traffic or road issues to La Fortuna and other activities outside the property. Some may love this. Dinners were more of a 3/5. Something I overlooked is that there is no air-conditioning, though this is on me for not realizing. During the warmer "dry" season we would have preferred air-conditioning. PS: For all of the Arenal area (not just the Observatory) if driving from the West (say from Tamarindo beach area), once you hit Lake Arenal, it's about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to the Observatory, and 2 hours+ to La Fortuna, and this is with no road issues and little traffic."

"This place is unbelievable. We loved it."

"very pleasant place for a relaxing vacation."

"Loved this place everything top service "

"Beautiful views of Arenal Volcano throughout the hotel and pools, and a convenient location near La Fortuna center. Rooms were well maintained overall, though there were occasional drain odors and signs of mold around the sink. The pools were excellent, and staff consistently delivered attentive service poolside. Overall, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and courteous, making for a very enjoyable stay."

"We enjoyed the whole stay at this property. It’s absolutely beautiful, friendly and a perfect location to enjoy the nature."

"Great property. I would stay here again"

"Great buffet for breakfast. Lots of fresh fruit!"

"I stayed here with my parents and boyfriend and just had the most pleasant time ever. The workers were extremely accommodating to every single plan and idea or question we had. It’s the rainforest, the drive to nearby things is not troublesome in the slightest either. "
