Amazing eco resort with lush surroundings. Everything is top notch from the cabins to the food. There is a river slide, waterfall hike, gorgeous surroundings.

It’s about 25 to town, so very remote. The “hot springs” are misleading. There are a series of rock pools that are warm, not hot and are not fed from hot springs. Still fun to be in and the pools are next to the bar.

It is great to be in the forest, sounds of nature and river, overall good access for reduced mobility persons. Nice hot springs, but access could be better. Nice area with many things to visit. Without car perhaps a bit isolated feeling.

Staff, notably in restaurant and bar seemed somewhat uninterested in their job. Food quite expensive and not particularly good (the local dish was the best option we thought). Very little fruit for breakfast, while the country is abundant with cheap fruit. Pop music at the lower (outside) bar was annoying. I come from far to listen to nature, not to pop.

This hotel is in a perfect location in the rainforest. Walking the trails you can see a range of animals (howler monkeys were amazing) the staff are all so friendly and go the extra mile to help you with whatever you want; Gabriel took us around the trails and showed us a variety of animals. We said we wanted to go on a longer trek which he spoke to a company and arranged for us on his day off. The bungalows are so spacious and it’s so nice having a deck area to yourself with a hammock. The whole place is so peaceful and relaxing.

The hot springs could have been hotter, it rained for a few days and the pools dropped in temperature to below 30C (at a guess) The breakfast is very good quality but slightly small; although they don’t mind you ordering two meals to yourself :) The lunch and dinner is very expensive (3 times more) compared to other restaurants in chachagua or la fortuna but as the stay is good value we didn’t mind paying this.

The grounds are beautiful and secluded. The rooms are comfy and you really are nestled in the rain forest!

We found the food at the restaurants to be a bit expensive and the food overall was mediocre. It is difficult to go elsewhere to eat as it is so secluded. The additional costs to have the hotel book your tours and arrange for a pick up were significant

The 200 acres were fabulous to walk on. It was so incredibly beautiful and we loved being in the Hot Springs. It was not crowded at all, even though it seemed every bungalow was full.

There was really nothing that we did not like about the property.

We flew into Liberia and the next day Chachagua had their Car waiting for us with josimal who was a wonderful driver and super nice...it was amazing going through the mountains and seeing how much greener the whole forest keep turning..it was a long ride but felt short just looking at everything. Once we got there we fell this was the beginning of a wonderful trip..Brayan welcomed us at the front desk and took us for the welcome drink at the restaurant by the beautiful Natural Hot Springs. we had a snack and then went to our beautiful Bungalow with two nice comfortable beds, nice bathroom, closets, and an amazing very private deck with seats and a hammock all sorrunded by beautiful vegetation...lots of birds and Guatins. We stayed here 8 nights and were able to explore every trail..we found the Cappuchin monkeys, howlers, birds, bats, guatins ...it was living inside the rainforest. We also enjoyed going to the river and having a few beers there while we bathed...All the staff were super nice..our clean boy Josue was always smiling and did an amazing job with cleaning the room and giving us things we needed like extra coffee or towels. All the waiters and bartenders were amazing, Arlen, Jeffrey,Anthony, Keylin, Krystel,Manuel and the hostess Nicole... even Ricardo the guy that cleans the pool was great.. they changed the water twice a week because they use natural water and no chemicals.. Johnnie at the front desk was also great and helpful. glad we had enough time to enjoy this wonderful place and can not wait to come back. Alex and ted.

Amazing family villa completely emerged in green, endless pool with rainforest shower, huge rooms with very comfortable beds. Hotel grounds with beautiful hot springs and a trail, very nice restaurant and bar area. Highly recommended!

Breakfast offer could be further improved/expanded.

The slide into the river and natural swimming area in the river was awesome. Nature hike with Neney, who was very knowledgeable about the rain forest around us. Each cabin has a covered outdoor space with comfortable seating and hammock - enjoyed time relaxing there. Beds were comfortable. Restaurant staff was very friendly and accommodating, especially Arlen. The resort is away from the heavily touristed areas around La Fortuna.

Restaurant menu could have more variety. I would have liked to see more fruit in the morning and something more in the way of salad options in the evening. Overall, not a complaint, but a suggestion.
