El desayuno muy rico, muy buena ubicación, la habitación en lo personal me gustó muy amplia y limpia, solamente que el olor a humedad me afectó mucho las alergias, estuvimos en la habitación Termal y la piscina privada fue muy buena solamente que me hubiera gustado un poco menos hirviendo el agua, no podíamos mantenernos más de 30min dentro por lo caliente

Absolutely beautiful resort. The bathroom is fabulous. The bed is comfortable and the fireplace takes a chill off in the evening. The food in the restaurants is good with lots of choices. The grounds are very well maintained. The view is awesome and the park is amazing.

Had a great time with the family inc young kids. Lots of pool time and beautiful views of the volcano. It rained a lot, as expected, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves at all. We kept most of the activities to the AM and hung around the property in the PM.

We had the absolute best time the second we arrived! We arrived after a 3 hour drive from San Jose and immediately greeted by reception with 3 refreshing welcome drinks that were delicious! We were then shown a toucan with a telescope by the pool which was such a nice way to begin the trip. We ate lunch at the Bosque restaurant until our room was ready and enjoyed our lunch, drinks and desert! Once we checked into our room we were all in awe as this was by far the top 3 room/properties we have vacationed in. We enjoyed the heated pool and jacuzzi and after jumped into our amazing shower! The property offers nightly nature walks at 6:30pm to see all the reptiles and animals who are immersed around the property. We enjoyed breakfast on property every day as this was also included in our stay. Overall this was an amazing place to be, we highly recommend, we also have a lot of inspiration for design to bring back into our homes. Lastly, I was able to enjoy a relaxing 90 minute massage and facial mask which was again an amazing experience, especially as you can hear the nature and rain in addition to spa music. 100/10 would recommend, we did stay in the jungle luxe tent for reference.

This is my second visit to the hotel. The first time, I was only there for two days and always wanted to come back. The hotel is magnificent, the villas are beautifully located in the jungle. Everything is perfectly clean. The view of the mountains and the city from the hotel is stunning! It's paradise! The staff is highly qualified, very polite, and pleasant. I'd especially like to mention the spa. Absolute rest, relaxation, and pleasure! Thank you so much to the manager SPA, Lucy. I also want to highlight the professionalism and skillful hands of Irena and Deymi, who performed various treatments for me! You girls are the best! I have had the opportunity to lie down and relax so much! I will definitely come back again! I highly recommend this hotel—it's paradise.
