Mediocre stay. Some definite downsides

dated room overcrowded pool

The grounds were really beautiful. That's definitely a plus.

I found the room quite dated. It reminded me of stepping back in time, but not in a good way. the furniture was sparse and not very inviting. I really missed having a comfortable chair. also, the number of day passes they sell really detracts from the experience for hotel guests. The pool area was constantly overcrowded and quite rowdy, so there was no relaxation at all

relaxing stay amidst nature

lush plants hidden places balcony view

from the time i arrived, i found the grounds were beautiful with lush green plants. i explored many hidden places and saw birds and lizards during my walks. i enjoyed drinking coffee on the balcony each morning, listening to the jungle wake up.

the pool area sells many day passes and there is no dedicated area for hotel guests, i feel.

amazing thermal experience

beautiful grounds volcano view warm water

i found the grounds fine (volcano views!). i drove to the lookout point and found a road to a lake and a costa rican park. the pools have different temperatures, ensuring i found one i liked. i could sit and chat with friends while soaking in the warm waters.

i thought the bar was a little too loud at the pool, with many guests drinking heavily and talking loudly. this affected the peaceful atmosphere i had anticipated.
