Reviews and Ratings
The hotel offers spacious rooms that feel like a basement apartment, needing renovation and more attention to cleaning. While the service is generally unfriendly, the staff are awesome, providing a great porch, delicious breakfast, and being extremely friendly and helpful. The location amid the rainforest is beautiful, but the dining experience, although okay, may not be worth the price. The facilities are decent, with two separate rooms allowing for privacy, and the proximity to zip-line tours, hiking the volcano, and a chocolate plantation tour adds value to the stay.
Staying at this hotel was a mixed experience. The rooms, although quiet, could use a deep clean. The service was pleasant but felt a bit scripted at times. The location amidst the rain forest was beautiful and well-kept. The dining options had room for improvement, although the Neapolitan pizza was a standout.
The hotel has a rustic charm with rooms in need of renovation and cleaning service. The staff members were somewhat friendly, but the manager stood out for their extreme helpfulness. The location is convenient off the main road but lacks a cohesive dining experience. The dining could be improved with more variety, although the fresh fish was a highlight. Facilities need more attention for an ideal stay.
The hotel is in a serene location surrounded by the rainforest, providing a beautiful and clean setting. The rooms offer a marginal upgrade with larger bathrooms but lack natural light on the bottom floor. The service, particularly from Gabriel and Doris, is exceptional. The dining experience is average with changing options, and the facilities are well-maintained.
The hotel had an amazing volcano view, but the rooms were not quite up to a 5-star standard with a moldy smell and outdated furniture. Despite this, the location in the lush jungle was incredibly relaxing, and the service was super nice. The dining options could be improved with more variety, but the Mediterranean food was good.
I found the hotel to be a bit of a mixed bag. The rooms were not as luxurious as expected but still spacious and comfortable. The service was good, but lacked the warmth I expected, especially in Costa Rica. The location was amazing, although the dining experience left much to be desired with overpriced and unappealing options.
