8.8/10 Excellent! (88 reviews)
Great staff, a family feel type of hotel. They have a restaurant on location which makes meals convenient. Uber does not operate in this town so transportation is a little tricky if you don’t rent a vehicle. Best night sleep in Costa Rica! Plus the views of the Arenal Volcano are unbelievable!

It was a unique place to stay, not far from Fortuna but it was away from the large groups of tourists. The ducks that lived on the little lake there were good at patrolling the property.
