    Staff very very friendly. Quiet relaxing atmosphere. Stunning views over the volcano, lake, mountains. We saw Tucans directly in the tree next to us. The yoga lessons with Aurelio are also great. Quietest nights we have had in Costa Rica so far. Good breakfast with good vegan options.

    El Volcán

    Las vistas del lugar son espectaculares, tiene lindas instalaciones y extensas, puedes dar paseos en el medio de la naturaleza y ver muchos animales. Es ideal para desconectar ya que se encuentra alejado de La Fortuna.

    La habitación no tiene aire acondicionado ni ventilador, como tampoco refrigerador, no pudiendo guardar comida o bebidas heladas y era necesario!! Además, el primer día una huésped se puso a cantar y tocar un tambor alrededor de las 10pm al lado de nuestra habitación, deberían tener política de ruidos!! Amiga ubicate!

    Amazing experience

    All members of staff were very welcoming. The food was great, flavourful and fresh. We were able to identify more than 30 different species of birds just by sitting on our porch.

    We had one issue during our stay and the staff and owner were very receptive and made it up to us. Do not hesitate to come here, you'll have a restful time!

    De locatie en het uitzicht zijn fantastisch. Erg vriendelijk personeel We kregen een upgrade van een tent naar een huis zonder extra kosten

    Het eten was niet zo bezonder, maar smaken verschillen. We hadden graag wat meer keuze uit eenvoudige maaltijden gehad.
