The nearby karaoke bar was a bit loud at night. Bring earplugs if a light sleeper. Could definitely use more shelves in the 'kitchen' area and our room had just the one sink for the bathroom and kitchen area. But it was nice to have the small fridge and coffee maker in the room.

Genesis was very nice and responsive to all our requests and questions. This is a lovely location, The rooms are simple but more than adequate. El Castillo area has more to offer than I thought and nice to be away from the overcrowded La Fortuna. The breakfast was very good, with 2 choices.

I had to go upstairs, but it worked out fine.

The hotel is in a beautiful setting, overlooking Lake Arenal. The staff was very helpful and the breakfast was excellent.

Bathroom could do with being updated.

Fabulous location. Great views of the volcano when the clouds cleared. Friendly helpful staff

No A/C, but that may not bother most people.

Location is amazing, though the fact it's more remote also means a bit longer to get to various activities. Very quiet, good view of the Arenal volcano, good breakfast. Large room. Last but not least, very pleasant host.

The room was a bit damp and musty

There was no mirror above the sink, which you need when shaving, but this is just a minor problem.

The room was spacious and the bed was good, from the terrace a nice view of the Arenal volcano. The breakfast was okay.

It's far from the main street/town area of La Fortuna, so unless you have a car and are good to drive around everywhere, it's not super worth it because uber's/didi's will not come pick you up.

The property is beautiful, it's clean and you have a great view of the volcano. The breakfast is delicious, and the host is so sweet.

The room itself was quite dated and although the surfaces appeared clean, there were ants in the kitchen area of the room. The room was quite humid and had very little airflow other than an old fan that didn't blow very much air.

The couple that ran the place were very kind and were able to accommodate us at the last minute when our camping plans changed quickly during an intense storm. The view early in the morning from the breakfast area was incredible. It was still pretty cloudy from the storm the previous night, so I can only imagine how beautiful it would be had we been there on a clear day. The hotel is located about 200m away from La Ventanita, a super cute restaurant with great food that also has spectacular views.

We were in the room beside the office and the airflow was poor. There is no AC, only a fan, and the room got very hot and uncomfortable for sleeping. Perhaps one of the other rooms would be better, but be aware that it is a very humid area.

It is a very basic accommodation, but clean. The host was very friendly and helpful. The included breakfast was excellent. It’s a very small property, and felt very “homelike”.

Street noise and shutting the window or curtains made it hot and stuffy

The bed and pillows could be a bit more comfortable but it wasn’t horrible either. The location is not in the city center . But it’s much smaller and quieter area with a beautiful view of the arenal volcano.

It is a beautiful location . The breakfast was good . I liked our room as well. It came with a small kitchen area (minus a stove ) with coffee maker and breakfast table. The owner is really nice and accommodating

Very nice little hotel. Great view on the Arenal vulcano. My room was simply, just everything you need for the night, and clean. Esmiralda runs the place and was very friendly to me.
