The hotel was pretty and the thermal waters were super nice! The hot pools are small though so if there are too many people, it can feel crowded. Beds could be more comfortable, but overall we were happy with our stay.

Amazing stay. Our cottage had everything we needed, the breakfast was fantastic. But the thermal pools was the best part of our stay, so relaxing. We also booked a horse ride and it was by far the highly of our trip, our group rode on the Arenal river, unforgettable memories.

The people, except at check-in desk, were incredibly friendly, polite and professional. The food was excellent and the bartenders were amazing. The room was small, the TV very small. I could not access an electrical outlet anywhere near the bed. The mattress was firm and comfortable and everything was clean throughout.

Everything was great, the room, the breakfast and the customer service. The only feedback I have, is that pillows were not comfortable. I came with neck pain and my husband too.
