“Tornarem”

The spot is amazing—one of the best places we've visited in Costa Rica. The service was incredible. We messed up and left a sign at the door saying not to clean, yet they still came later when we realized we hadn't. They provide umbrellas, prismatics… and the views are brutal. Free access to both the hot and cold pools. The food is pretty pricey.

“Gerne wieder, absolut prima!”

The resort is super beautiful, very clean, simply wonderful! The restaurant is too expensive, and there’s no proper bar. But it wasn’t busy season, so there were hardly any guests. Maybe a bar will open when there’s more traffic.

“Amazing views, beautiful hiking opportunities, and exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff — a truly wonderful experi”

I really enjoyed the rainforest and hiking trails on the property. The hotel staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and the restaurant offered a great variety of choices. The beautiful surroundings and peaceful atmosphere made the stay very enjoyable, and the opportunity to explore the rainforest right from the property was definitely a highlight. Overall, a wonderful place to stay and a great experience!.

The hotel is beautiful with well‑maintained facilities; all the park paths are perfect, even during the heavy rains we had. But the best part is the staff—so kind and attentive, everyone is exceptional. On our departure day it rained so hard that the access river flooded and the staff couldn’t get in; the hotel team helped cover breakfast needs. The restaurant prices are very high, the hotel itself is expensive. It rained constantly during our stay, we never saw the volcano, it was always covered.

“Paseo familiar”

Spectacular spot with a view of the volcano. Trails and plenty of activities to enjoy. Excellent staff service. Nothing to complain about, everything was fine.
