“Secluded within a private nature reserve, this hotel impressed me with its dedication to immersive rainforest experiences. I particularly appreciate the option of unwinding in mineral-rich hot springs after exploring one of the hiking trails. With family villas and rainforest bungalows on offer, it's an ideal base for exploring Arenal Volcano National Park.”
