Don't waste your time or money. The rooms are completely loaded with bed bugs! The hotel staff said that this was normal and started cleaning and dusting the rooms. Our tour group refused to stay overnight in bed bug infested rooms and changed hotels. Not sure whether or personal belongings are not infested as they were in the rooms for a while. Disgusting.
It's rustic.. but your in the woods. This place has tons of potential with the grounds and views. The good: location, staff, view, grounds. The bad: rooms have huge gaps in construction, lots of access for critters, rooms could use air, general cleanliness of the rooms, poop and blood on linens. Food was good, staff was friendly but for tourists, it still needs a little work depending on what you are use to.
Amazing nature...great location for touring...but very rustic...bugs have lots of access to the rooms and there is no A/C--wifi is spotty Service was good--food was good--pool is prettier than it is clean. Think of staying here as more like camping than a hotel stay and you will feel more comfortable.
I just stayed here for two nights with my students on an EF tour. It was NOT a great experience. While it is close to the Arenal Volcano, it is NOT worth the money. There were bug infestations in many of the rooms, keys didn't work in many of the rooms, there was no hot water in ANY of the rooms, and the pool is in need of some serious repairs. The staff was nice, but that didn't make up for the property.
As long as you're good with gecko poo on your bed and pillow, then this hotel is perfect! Oh - and the water for the showers are solar heated - so if it's cloudy or early in the am - you're not going to have hot water. There are also some very weird wood carvings in the hotel lobby.
