Vue et petit déjeuner extraordinaire
Pros:

Vue extraordinaire sur le lac. La propriétaire est très gentille, souriante et avenante. La terasse est très agréable le soir pour voir le couché de soleil qui est à couper le souffle.

Cons:

Malheureusement la journée il fait très chaud dans la chambre même en laissant les portes/fenêtres ouvertes. Mais on s'y habitue... Dommage nous n'avons pas eu la chance de pouvoir tester le restaurant car il n'était pas en service juste peut être le préciser car nous étions venus surtout pour tester le restaurant :-)

Creo que lo pudimos haber encontrado un mejor hotel en Costa Rica en la zona de fortuna. Mi esposa y yo quedamos con gan
Pros:

En un hotel, lo que más deseas es que el servicio y la atención sea extraordinaria y eso fue exactamente lo que vivimos una experiencia extraordinaria. En ningún hotel del mundo nos habían servido un desayuno de la calidad, la variedad y lo exquisito de este hotel.
Las habitaciones lindísimas. Le doy un 10 de 10.

Una experiencia que supera cualquier expectativa
Pros:

Una experiencia realmente maravillosa. La ubicación es excelente, a tan solo 300 metros de la laguna, pero sin duda lo más espectacular es la vista desde el balcón: un paisaje imponente que se disfruta desde el primer momento y que invita a quedarse contemplando la belleza del lugar.

El alojamiento es moderno, hermoso e impecable en cada detalle. El desayuno es toda una experiencia gastronómica, delicioso y preparado con dedicación.

Ana, la anfitriona, se luce con su calidez y atenciones, haciendo que la estadía sea aún más especial.

Definitivamente… volveremos.

Cons:

Todo nos gustó!

Pros:

The view and the breakfast were amazing!

Cons:

No AC which is fine but all screens falling out so when we left things open to stay comfortable mosquitos and a cat came through screen doors and a cat slept on our clothes.

Pros:

Remarkable view. Can’t beat it.

Cons:

Hotel was mostly quiet, with the exception of the property owners’ dog barking outside of our cabin early mornings (6am ish) and waking us up. This is a vacation and we go to unplug. People should be mindful. No air conditioning. There were periods late night and early mornings when the temp dropped, but it was relatively warm outside of that.

Espectacular. Muy recomendable
Pros:

La ubicación y las vistas espectaculares. La atención y hospitalidad de Ana fue espectacular con sus recomendaciones y súper desayunos. Súper recomendable. Ojalá volver algún día!!

Cons:

En la llegada al alojamiento hubo falta de comunicación y al llegar nadie salió a nuestro encuentro y un perro en la entrada nos asustó. De todos modos, al final conseguimos contactar con Ana y pudimos hacer el check-in

A fantastic stay in a contemporary styled setting
Pros:

A stylish, well-designed modern hotel located on a hillside above Lake Arenal, offering breathtaking views and bird-watching opportunities. The hotel features a group of separate contemporary bungalows, with convenient parking and well-lit paved walkways. Our bungalow was quiet, clean, and fully equipped with a spacious modern interior, a comfortable bed, furnishings, a large bathroom, and a furnished outdoor deck. The hosts and staff were very friendly, and the breakfast was excellent, featuring a wide variety of food and drinks in an open-air dining area. It’s definitely on our list of places to stay again.

Incredible views, serene and very welcoming
Pros:

Everything about the property, staff and owners is excellent. An incredibly welcoming place. The breakfast and dinner compete with any high end restaurant. Being asked what we’d want for dinner the day before felt like luxury. The views from the room were incredible and there was so much wildlife to be spotted from the balcony. Special place, we plan to return in the future.
