The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Spa Bliss

I had a truly lovely experience at the spa. The open-air bungalow provided a perfect jungle setting, enhancing the overall ambiance. My massage was one of the best I've ever received, thanks to the very nice therapist, Laura. The combination of serene surroundings and quality service made it a highlight of my stay.

Breakfast Delight

The breakfast buffet was a culinary delight! It featured a fantastic variety of dishes, including fresh local fruits, an omelet station with herbs you could cut yourself, and the best 'chorreadas' – a must-try! Every morning was a beautiful start to my day.

Luxurious Orchid Room

Staying in the Orchid room was a dream! It boasted stunning views of the Arenal Volcano, and the room was beautifully decorated and perfectly maintained. I loved the cozy bed and the relaxing glass shower that allowed us to enjoy views of the surrounding jungle.

Charming Bathroom Setup

The bathroom was equally impressive with its large glass shower that overlooked the jungle, providing a unique and relaxing experience while bathing. The spa-quality toiletries only added to the luxurious feeling of the room.
