Had an excellent stay here in November for our honeymoon. Check in was friendly and we were greeted with cool towels and a cold drink which was lovely after a long drive. The hotel has incredible value with thermal spa. Our room was beautiful and clean. We enjoyed the breakfast every morning at the on site restaurant, one thing I will note is that there were not a lot of vegan options for breakfast and the espresso machine did not have a non dairy option. However, the servers were very accommodating and made me a separate coffee and got me avocado so I could make avocado toast which was very nice. We also really enjoyed having dinner at the restaurant at the thermal spa and the cocktails at the thermal spa were incredible as well. Overall, incredible hotel, we can’t wait to return one day!

This was one of the best Hotel stays I ever had! All the staff were superb! Everyone was professional, welcoming, friendly and nice! The room had a sunning view of Arenal Volcano. I enjoyed the 6 course tasting menu at Toucan’s Restaurant and it was soooo good! The breakfast buffet was well worth the price. The jewel of the resort was, of course, the hot springs! They were phenomenal- a cascading river of hot springs with about 20 pools of varying degrees. The top of the springs was called Shari-La and is reserved for hotel guests only. This is where you will find the hottest spring. There are cabanas and bar service right there at the top. Located within the spring area is a spa where I had the most awesome, relaxing massage by Brian. The massage took place in an open air cabana surrounded by jungle. I was lucky and there was an awesome rain down pour during my massage and it was truly relaxing listening to the sound while getting massaged, I totally zoned out! The other restaurant located at the spring area, Aves, was also very good, more casual and you could soak in the springs and then have dinner in your robe. The grounds are meticulously landscaped with gorgeous flowers, green shrubs and trees everywhere. The place was so clean and spotless. I loved this place and will definitely return someday… hopefully, soon!
