I would not stay here again.

When we arrived they told us that our room (prepaid through Costa Rica Anywhere) was not available because of a plumbing leak. They put us in one of the Chalets which are OK, but way up a very very steep hill. I noted the room charge difference (about $30/night for 3 nights) and they said they would just credit that ...

There are many cities I want to go, such as the city of Sails---Auckland, the city of Angels--- Los Angeles, traditional and modern Tokyo, Vibrant Sydney, romantic Paris, but the most mysterious Cairo is the first destination I want to visit.

The lodge has an excellent view of the Arenal Volcano, but little else. Despite being atop a hill, it was unbearably hot during the afternoon. The hotel has no air conditioning.

But with so many other modern hotels with a great view of the volcano, it is not worth sacrificing air conditioning.

The view is just superb!! Simply awesome to see the lava comming out of the volcano at night!!
