The bathroom in our room was run down and shabby looking. Breakfast was excellent. It is a beautiful location away from the busy and noisy La Fortuna, and so close to the waterfall. Staff were great!

It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.

La propiedad es vieja, y la electricidad es común que se vaya y vuelva enseguida. El staff como en todos lados de CR es muy amable y servicial en todo momento. Lo mejor son el staff y la cercanía a las cataratas.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom Villa. The beds were comfortable. The location was private and quiet - but there are significant upgrades needed. We had large beetles in the house and lizards. There is a limited breakfast and no other dining options. The reception was not friendly - like we interrupted his time.

When we first arrived, we were the only car in the parking lot. That had us a bit concerned but more guests did arrive later. Front desk staff was friendly. As soon as we checked in, the electricity went out for a few hours. The room itself was disappointing due to the musty, mildew smell. Luckily it was cool enough to have the windows open at night. However, we then heard barking dogs and very loud guests. I brought ear plugs which were helpful. The free breakfast offered was fine. However, the staff did not bother cleaning the table that we first set down at after I let them know it was full of ants. We obviously moved and I let the next party know so they did not sit there. The location to the Arenal Volcano and town restaurants is convenient. I would not stay here again unless I paid more for a private villa instead of a standard room in the main building. The grounds and the view are beautiful.

This property feels like an abandoned hotel. Yes it serves its purpose of shelter, but house smelled of garbage/sewage. Even outside sitting on pool deck. House just really run down.

There were rats/bats living in the ceiling so I did not sleep at all - there was a huge gap in the door allowing any animal in and we found droppings all over our suite. The overall conditions of the hotel are quite old and run down and the photos are quite deceiving. The landscape was beautiful and being right beside the La Fortune Waterfall was very convenient but not worth the lack of sleep. Our suite was not cleaned one time by maids and they did not care that animals were all over the room.
