Great staff and service. Distance is a little far from LA Fortuna, but there is a lot to do on the property, and it is not too much trouble if you have a rental car already!

If you’re looking to be in nature this is the right place to be. You can definitely enjoy the fresh air a good walk in the morning with the sound of the birds. Enjoy a good swim in the pool with a breathtaking view of the volcano. The staff is very nice.

It was remote with beautiful grounds. Horseback riding onsite was a highlight of our vacation. Friendly staff and good included breakfast. A bumpy, twisty 15-minute drive to leave the property so we only went in and out once a day.

The staff at the hotel was very friendly, and the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the Casado with chicken, one of the local dishes. The beef meals were also very good. Desserts, the coconut flan and brownie with ice cream, were fantastic. Exceptional view of the volcano and there are tons of birds on property. We really enjoyed seeing them when eating and around the pool. Rooms were clean with air conditioning, and lots of amenities.
