Carol WhetzelSeptember 22, 2018This is my favorite place in the entire country. Beautiful views, amazing service, and incredible hospitality. You could easily spend a week here and never get bored.
TriciaMay 2, 2016Beautiful views and sunsets, trails in good condition with lots of animal sightings. Rooms large, but no AC. Food better than expected. A great stay!
- The longer trails are great. Amazing wildlife spotting. If you need a second place for more wildlife in the Arenal area I recommend the peninsula.
Niels LindbergFebruary 14, 2013Great location for hikes and bird watching, but terribly far from La Fortuna. There are no tour pickups at the lodge, so you'll have to get a taxi or shuttle.
Valentin GuerinJanuary 3, 2016Nice view from the deck, but the trails are not great. A bit too touristy.
VeronikaJanuary 7, 2018Отличный отель. Множество птиц, зверушек, есть где побродить - много трейлов по парку. Только к вулканам не пускают близко
Denise JozsefJanuary 5, 2020Lugar lindo, que merece ser visitado. Biodiversidade enorme de plantas, bichos, opções de trilhas e uma cachoeira.
Iris HernandezAugust 25, 2015No olviden el repelente! Disfruten del recorrido y naden en la catarata!
Carlos RodriguezJune 12, 2012Las habitaciones Smithsonian son grandiosas, básicamente todo el frente de la habitación es un ventanal con vista espectacular al volcán. El lugar esta bastante retirado pero hay mucho que hacer.
