The staff was very friendly and professional. We loved the farm, the thermal pools, and just everything about the place! One of the farm hands came out and talked with us personally and shared information about the various plants. We used Google Translate to help our limited Spanish-speaking skills. He was just a delight!

The place was quiet and peaceful, and so beautiful. The breakfast was delicious. I had the Gallo Pinto every morning. Their fresh juices were so delicious, especially the pepino, apio, manzana verde, jengibre, y jugo de naranja (cucumber, celery, green apple, ginger, and orange juice)!

At breakfast, the grounds keepers would place fruit slices in the trees nearby, so we could watch the variety of beautiful birds eat their breakfast.

We took a raft float trip on the Penas Blacas River, and hiked the Mistico Bridges in Arenal National Park. We had dinner at Selva Rustico, which was wonderful.

In short, my hubby commented he thought this could have been Eden before the bitten ;)
the landscaping was simply beautiful, with the walkways, cabins and buildings blending in nicely. Other than the occasional cocadoodledo or donkey heehaw (lol), it was a serene & lovely place away from busy Fortuna. As others have mentioned feeding the unbelievably beautiful variety of birds with fruit rinds on trees in the morning was memorable, the hot springs great after long days exploring the area, and we opted for a couples’ massage which was excellent. Would not hesitate to stay hear again if lucky enough to have the time and money to return.

We spent four nights here and we wish we could have stayed longer. The staff were fantastic, the property is beautiful, and the farm was a great bonus. The farmer was very friendly and he gave us a great tour of the farm. We did a lot of excursions in the area, so this was a great place to relax during our down time. We often had the hot pools all to ourselves after a full day of exploring. The hotel has fruit feeders near the restaurant which attracts dozens of colourful birds every morning. Also, the fruit trees and flowers growing around the property have many different species of birds around all day. One evening we even saw an armadillo as we were walking to the restaurant for dinner. The cabin was comfortable and we loved having Koki the donkey eating grass out behind the cabin everyday. We also loved our visits from Bella the pig as she wandered the grounds cleaning up any fallen fruit. We love to see birds and animals so this hotel was absolutely perfect for us!
