Whilst this is technically a hostel, it is far better than some hotels we stayed in! Rooms are great (good air con, hot water, good storage); facilities superb (pool, business lounge, kitchen/food prep area, pool table, great bar); well organised trips (the zip line followed by hot springs is a must!); very helpful staff; and the food delicious (tuna steak with salad delightful)
My tour operator booked me at Magic Mountain for the weekend on the last part of my trip after I came from Monteverde by ferry in Lake Arenal. The receptionists for all the days were great to me and helpful. My room was taken care of each day. A fridge was available to keep my drinks cold. The room had air conditioning when you need to turn it on. The bathroom had what I needed in fresh towels and a hair dryer, but my one criticism which I already let the receptionist know on my last day is that there needs to be a soap/shampoo/conditioner rack or holder in the shower as the only place to put these items is either on the floor or in a window ledge above you which is not ideal. The balcony view of the back of the hotel was really something when you can see Arenal Volcano in the background on clear days. The swimming pool area (with a bar right beside it) and hot tubs were nice to relax if you were not going out and wanted to hang around the hotel. Their restaurant is a nice place to eat if you did not want to go out, but at least the breakfast choices and service such as asking for a chef to make custom omelettes were very good. I think that sums up what I remember since a week ago. I can say overall I enjoyed my stay at this hotel.
From the picturesque landscape to the Arenal volcano as a backdrop, Hotel Lomas del Volcán is worth five stars. Our room was in it's own bungalow, clean, comfortable and cozy. We had a large, spacious bathroom and balconies to the front and back of the bungalow. The grounds were impeccably manicured and the lush greenery and flowers just brought the paradise vibe. It was tranquil and just made me feel so much in harmony with nature. The front desk staff, tour scheduler, restaurant staff, porters were all friendly, polite and helpful and readily available. They always asked if you spoke Spanish and most could easily switch to English if necessary. The food was amazing! There was a wide variety of foods for breakfast and the wait staff there were smiling and bubbly. This is a dream location and our experience was top of the line. It was one of the best places, I've ever stayed at. Certainly value for money!
Nayara Gardens is one of the best places I've ever been. We went on our Honeymoon, and were able to spend the whole week at the resort. From exciting and adventurous excursions to excellent choices in dining, Nayara Gardens blew us away! The staff was friendly and attentive all week long, and we even had some special treats along the way to recognize our honeymoon. The view of the volcano is magical, and it is so deep in the rainforest that you can see all manner of critters just outside your window. The whole team at Nayara communicates very well. The tour guides that we had were very knowledgable and went above and beyond to make sure we experienced the best that La Fortuna had to offer. I would recommend Nayara Gardens to anyone who wants a relaxing or romantic getaway that doesn't involve the coast. This is one place I know I'll have to go back to!
great place with wonderful views of the arenal, rainforest, and close to the trails. We stayed for 4 days. rooms were a decent size. Breakfast is great, and the food options are plenty. So is the food option for lunch and dinner; however, the town is only 4 km away. plenty of option there for food. This is also about 10-15 kms from the Fortuna waterfall. the hot springs on the location are great. the hottest at the top and getting slightly less warmer at the bottom. Our favorite activities are the canopy trails and the horse back riding. Both are available onsite. Michael is so good. He and another person (forgot the name :(; very good as well) made the canopy zipline a great experience. Horseback ride to the waterfall was great afternoon activity. we are going back for sure. the only complaint is the shower pressure. it is seriously low.
京京城糖炒栗子下午抵達了位於哥斯達黎加的地址:13 km oeste del centro de La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela, Costa Rica.塔巴康度假村及水療中心(Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa),他是全世界最棒的溫泉酒店之一,號稱七星級的溫泉度假村酒店非常舒適,房間乾淨,枕頭很舒服,被褥也很軟,贈送兩瓶玻璃瓶的純凈水,我住的蘭花房很舒服,一打開窗帘就是火山,含有免費早餐,早餐也很不錯,衛生間很豪華,雙水池,最重要的是服務也很好,有免費健身房和游泳池,但其實這些都不是重點,最大重點就是室外的溫泉,人與自然合一的地方,需要打成酒店班車大約3分鐘抵達,不行也就一刻鐘,住酒店的可以享受VIP區域,區域的名字竟然用中文寫的香格裏拉,溫泉古香古色,很多瀑布從山上而下,你最重要的就是享受生活,這裏白天人多,到了晚上人就少了很多,泡在溫泉裏感覺星空,火山很美很舒服,還有潺潺的瀑布聲,如痴如醉的感覺,溫泉還有酒吧,自助餐等為大家服務,這裏也可以洗澡,如果外麪人要去大約是100美金左右一人,其實還是住房 溫泉比較划算。酒店大廳也很漂亮,服務員的服飾很正規,這是我此行住的最好的賓館了,如果開車出去吃飯,大約20分左右車程有家中餐廳也不錯的。

VVerified MemberThe staff were all great, especially all the restaurant staff. I especially appreciated the hotel making special arrangements to celebrate my birthday. However, some of the shortfalls included the very slow and inconsistent WIFI at our building (500), the bathroom door couldn’t be kept closed, and the in room jacuzzi never got hot. But on the positive note, the in room AC was very good, the room, bathroom and shower were spacious and had hot water.
P.S. I was underwhelmed by my undercooked tomahawk during dinner.
訪訪客用戶Very enjoyable experience. The hotel is in an idyllic spot. Lovely but small infinity pool and look outs to lake and volcano. Breakfast was OK and staff all very good. We were lucky enough to check in a few hours early, the staff prepared our room as we arrived earlier than expected. Many thanks. Rooms a bit tired really but great views from large windows and cleaners very good.
SSiriusSkier23Stayed here for 9 nights and loved the relaxation! Wonderful hot mineral springs on the property. Amazing property with jungle trails that are rich with wildlife. This is a bird watching paradise with many frogs as well. Sloths can be seen from the hot springs! Very nice restaurant on-site. Nice staff that were very helpful. It is close to other hot spring resorts including Eco Termales which is splendid. Also, incredible views of the volcano. Such a pleasant and relaxing place!!!
