Great Hotel in best location *

Enlarge letters A A Downsize letters A A

The lodge offers the best view of the Arenal. If possible, you should choose a room with volcano View, then you have to look not every time, after a good prospect, if it grollt. The entire lodge is nicely laid out, the staff was very friendly and the rooms big enough. Everything was clean and neat. One should perhaps more than a night, because there are lots of things to see and do (water falls, bridges, river-rafting, Arenal-Lake and so on). Furthermore, you have to see as well as a greater chance, the Arenal with its eruptions completely.
