We loved it so much for its location at the foot of the Arenal Volcano, its views, and for its services, its people and the comfort of the hotel!! WE WOULD RETURN!! There are animals, hikes, waterfalls, a hanging bridge, an observatory to climb as a lookout!! We would not have left.!! The food and breakfast were excellent!! There we also saw the colorful frog that is so famous in Costa Rica!!
