We had a great stay here. The rooms were clean and had everything you need, including a/c. The property itself is very lush and beautiful. It is very walkable. You can take a short walk to La Fortuna where you can find any type of food you desire. I loved the area and my stay at Arenal Montechiari.

Arenal volcano view, the area , walking distance to restaurant and bars, the nature surrounding it. We were looking to stay in a cabin but were a bit hesitant (safety) reasons. However, this hotel worked out amazing !

Lovely hotel with little cabins on a beautiful property. Great birds and even s sloth on the property breakfast is traditional and good. Service was great. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. It’s walking distance to the town and restaurants but perfectly far away to feel like your in nature. Would highly recommend.

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The views and continental breakfast were great. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. You do start to hear alot of nature throughout the night which made it difficult to sleep and there is no wi-fi in the cabins. If you are looking to unplug, this place is amazing.

This property delivered in all aspects. It was quiet, beautiful gardens, and cozy cabin. The staff were accommodating to some small requests we had. It is close enough to town to walk, which is very convenient, and the walk felt safe even at night. Free breakfast was convenient, though after 5 days we did get a little tired of having the exact same options; this is just a minor point though. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

This place is beautiful and the staff was friendly. It's walking distance to the town square. The rooms have air conditioning which is nice because it can be so hot outside so nice to walk into a cool room. My son loved the pool. Breakfast was yummy and served buffet style. It also changed slightly each morning. The staff even showed us the ice machine which was nice to fill up our water bottles. I found this place by a recommendation from my friend and I would recommend.

They have a pond like area not maintained.
Electrical panel main box was exposed, no covers. I stayed in cottage 42. Lights need upgrade to more brightness inside home. Need trimming of leaves at entrance.
