Amazing location overlooking the lake with beautiful grounds and over 1.5km of trails through woods and farmland. Saw lots of birds, and some brown frogs in the water feature out front. Enjoyed then jacuzzi and breakfast cooked to order Rooms could have used some attention - grotty toilet seat and cracked sink. Expensive food and served very overcooked fries which cost a small fortune.

My family of 4 with a toddler stayed in Apt 104. The accommodation was well appointed, very clean and the view from the balcony was great. The hotel is a bit dated (still) but the staff are very friendly, we enjoyed the pool. It was a lovely stop and 2 night stay.

What a unique place. Really cool landscape. The view is perfection. Food was fantastic. Beer was fantastic. It is such a unique place. We did really enjoy our time there, though short. Would have been an epic place 20 years ago when the skate park, tennis courts, arcade game, and air hockey were all in usable condition. Servers were nice, the beer was great, the food was amazing, and the restaurant views were so cool.

Good place to stay for one night if you are driving through to La Fortuna and need a stop before the longer drive. There isn’t much to do around this area, without a lot of driving. As a result, we abandoned our pre-paid second night to get closer to La Fortuna. The hotel is fine. No AC. No shampoo/condition. No hairdryer. The beer at the brewery was okay, but we live in a spoiled location at home with excellent beer. The free breakfast was great. Dinner was just okay: pizza eh, and curry chicken was rubbery. The indoor hot tub wasn’t running a filter and was not hot. It wasn’t at all appealing to get in, so we did not. The grounds are nice and charming. A little pig ran past our door with great delight to us. There were also 3 dogs on site that were friendly and adorable. Staff was very nice. We entered our room to a (large) dead bug surrounded by ants, which made us uncomfortable. Without air conditioning, the room was 100% moist and not comfortable for sleeping. I did not venture to unpack and kept everything off the floor. The water was not hot enough to my liking in the shower. Overall, location was convenient but uneventful. Staff was great. Room was not spectacular, even though the layout would have been stellar with 2 full bedrooms and a kitchen in the middle. We just didn’t want to spend any time in there. We did love playing pool while sampling their beers. Stay for one night.

Starting with the positives: we had a lake view room, and the view was excellent, everyone in the family really enjoyed it. The staff was also very helpful and friendly. The hotel itself is quite old and has a two-level layout, with one level below grade, which is understandable. However, the corridors are very dark even during the daytime, making the space feel gloomy. We also noticed a few bugs in the room. While some bugs are expected in a tropical rainforest setting, we’ve stayed at other hotels in similar environments that manage this much better. In Costa Rica especially, effective ventilation, lighting, and pest control are important. This hotel would benefit greatly from addressing these issues.
