Genial
Pros:

Es un sitio muy acogedor, tal cual puede verse en las imagenes. Tiene sodas y restaurantes cerca pero ya está un poco alejado del municipio, lo cual le da más encanto. El jacuzzi es excelente para cuando llegas cansado o la lluvia no te permite salir.

Cons:

Todo bien

Mooi verblijf in prachtige tuin
Pros:

Prima kamer met leuk zitje buiten met uitzicht op de vulkaan, als deze tenminste zichtbaar is (tijdens ons verblijf bijna de hele tijd in de wolken). Prachtig aangelegde en goed onderhouden tuin waar de mooiste vogels rondvliegen. Een ruimte waar je zelf koffie en thee kunt zetten. Aardig personeel.

Cons:

Wij vonden het bed te zacht, maar dat is persoonlijk

Pros:

Le cadre de l'hôtel est paradisiaque, les animaux, les plantes et la vue sur le volcan créent une atmosphère unique. Nous avons logé dans une des constructions récentes et tout est très bien équipé, propre et spacieux.

Such a lovely stay would recommend to anyone going. 10/10 thank you so much to all the staff :)
Pros:

Staff were all lovely, rooms exceeded our expectations. Using uber with the designated pickup point right outside the hotel gave us easy access to all the attractions. Pool and hot tub were excellent and the games room was a lovely touch and gave us something nice to do in our down time. Good breakfast and affordable, animals on site were a fun bonus! Saw an unexpectedly good number of wildlife from the hotel itself.

Best Nature Property in La Fortuna
Pros:

This hotel is the best kept secret in Arenal - La Fortuna.
It is divine. I spent all day enjoying the lush green nature in my veranda while looking at the volcano from my room. It is a hidden gem. I planned to stay 1 night and extended 3 nights

Cons:

Pillow covers could have been ironed in the first room.

Pros:

Ubicación, entorno y todo en general.

Cons:

La única pega es que el desayuno empezaba a las 06:30am pero el día que nos íbamos, a esa hora aún no estaba preparado y nos tuvimos que ir sin desayunar.
