Disliked: Property conditions & facilities
Room tub and faucets were old. There was no hot water. There were bats and insects in the bathroom
Great spot to hang out for a day and stay the night. We got to see a lot of wildlife around the property and an incredible view of the lake. The beer was cold and delicious with lots of options for everyone. Dinner and breakfast at the onsite restaurant were super tasty and very filling. The staff was very friendly and approachable, especially our bartender which elevated our stay and made us feel very welcome.
I liked the friendly staff and the amazing views of Lake Arenal from the dining area. The restaurant features 8 different artisanal beers that are brewed on the property.
The pool is a decent size for swimming and the hot tub grotta felt very relaxing. The hotel also features fun games including pool billard etc. and other amenities. Overall a fun and relaxing experience.

Liked: Staff & service
We had a nice stay but poor weather. The staff were great. Very friendly. The property was very tropical and diverse with great views and wildlife.
The property is dated decoratively ,and room rates relatively expensive , although the views are spectacular. The team members we came across were very friendly. The draft beers were fine but quite expensive. Breakfast was a choice of four dishes , which were very nice , but there was no fruit on offer.
The main problem for us was that we were two of only four people staying as it's out of season , so there was no atmosphere at all , and because it's isolated , there wasn't anywhere else to go.
Very old property without A/C, hot tub or coffee before 8. Friendly staff, nice walking/hiking path, views and wild life such as monkeys, toucans and parrots in jungle like lake view setting. Food only offered inside so if you prefer eating or drinking outside you need to carry it out and back. Poor quality not worth the value. Couldn’t sleep well because of missing A/C or poor airflow. Bathroom was pretty gross needed lots of maintenance and saw a couple of roaches. Plenty of spiderwebs in corners but those were fine since they’d at least get the mosquitoes. Had to ask for pool towels and coffee cups. The staff was very friendly and accommodating but management could offer a lot more so customers would return. Great place to visit but I wouldn’t stay overnight again
We had a great stay here, wish we could have stayed longer. The beer and food were delicious, the monkeys and birds were fun to spot around the property, and the pool was comfortable.
Beautiful location with incredible views. The staff is always kind and helpful. Make time to take the horseback riding tour! So worth it! Amazing views of the lake. End the day with a relaxing massage from Tia. She is so sweet, you won’t regret it.
We booked a night here to break up the drive from La Fortuna to MonteVerde. But turned out to be great find - what more could you ask for besides a hotel WITH a brewery?? Well how about your morning serenaded with all sorts of crazy birds (toucans, parrots, hawks), and monkeys literally crawling all over the trees. Great view of the lake and pretty remote, so no sound of traffic, just nature. And btw, don’t park under the trees in the front lest you want your car “decorated” by the monkeys :-)
