10/10 Exceptional

Stayed 4 nights in the Amatista villa. Beautiful views of the lake and a the volcano. Twice sure our stay after the rains vibrant rainbows would appear across the lake. Rooms were very clean and comfortable. Staff was very friendly and helpful. Excellent restaurant on site for breakfast and dinner, breakfast was included with our stay. Found it to be very windy on that side of the lake but would definitely recommend for those looking for somewhere a little quieter but still fairly close to attractions.

The grounds and the view are exquisite as well as the staff are excellent, but the cabin bathroom requires repairs, i.e. detached sink and gaps in window seems.

Beautiful hotel

We were passing through the area staying at the hotel for one night, so sadly we didn’t get to enjoy all it had to offer. The hotel restaurant served wonderful pizza and pasta, the grounds were stunning and the room was comfortable. Thanks for a memorable night!

Awesome

Barbara was AWESOME and gave us great suggestions for activities during our brief stay. My only suggestion is to offer a better coffee in the morning.

A unique and lovely property. The staff was attentive. The menu and wine list needs more diversity. Cindy in Spa was over the top.

10/10 Exceptional

In spite of the fact that the clouds were low and glimpsing the volcano was limited to a small percentage, the grounds were beautiful with varied plant life laid out well. It was wonderful to begin the day looking out on so much beauty. Every breath was filled with peace and beauty

Its absolutely mystical property. The staff were exceptional. So friendnly and caring. The daily breakfast was one of the best i have had. The natural pool was a daily stop for me and my kids. We sat on the outside chairs and enjoyed the amazing breeze and lake arenal views. On a clear night we would watch stars. It was soo relaxing.
Venkat, 3-night trip

2/10 Poor

Our flight was delayed and we couldn’t reach them by any means to change our reservation. I was terribly disappointed in the lack of customer service. It’s also a treacherous drive and I feel someone should have checked on us when we didn’t arrive.

Muy bonito, buena ubicacion, buen servisio y actitud de los empleados. Para nuestro caso, fuimos para una actividad de ciclismo de montaña y habiamos muchos huespedes en el hotel que ibamos a lo mismo. Creo que el hotel no se preparó para esta actividad y faltó personal para el area de restaurante.

Calme mais dans la basse saison trop calme. Service impeccable! Nourriture excellente. Aimerait des déjeuner différents, car toujours pareil...mais super bon!

8/10 Very good

Staff was great. Grounds were beautiful, room was clean. Only problem we had was that the internet in our building was not working. I complained about it to 2 people the afternoon we arrived and one more the next morning for breakfast. To our knowledge, nothing was ever done since it never worked in our building and no one ever checked if it was working or if we had any issues. We were there three nights!!

Le personnel est attentionné. Chaque soir il font un petit feu dans le salon. De bon vin Italien. Le domaine est propice pour le détente. Petit inconvénient nous avions l’habitation dans la jungle et celle-ci se trouve prêt des éloniennes. Le mouvement rotatif de celles-ci peut être dérangeant.
