Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
We checked in to our room and found it heavily infested with bugs in the seating areas, curtains and bathroom. At least 50 to 60 insects. When we complained of the problem the staff sent someone to spray poison all over the room. When asked to switch rooms, we were told there was no other room available unless we paid an additional $120 per night. Staff refused to refund the unused night and the Manager refused to speak with us without a significant fuss. Terrible service and staff! Expedia did not refund the stay. We left and went elsewhere. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

Our family loved our stay at the Volcano Lodge. It was close to Fortuna and had an incredible view of the volcano. The pool and the 3 thermal hot springs areas were magical. The swim up bar in the hot spring pool was very unique. Breakfast was very tasty each morning and the staff was super friendly. Our bungalow room opened up on a patch of forest where we’d sit on chairs and watch a parade of exotic birds and butterflies fly by. We would highly recommended it!

Very nice property, lots of greenery and very nice feel to it. Overall a nice stay other than a few things. If you need internet go somewhere else. It was very inconsistent, on and off and frustrating. They sent someone to fix it right away, restarting the router, but it didn't help. Staff is nice but the management isn't, conveniently unavailable multiple times when I wanted to discuss a possible fix to the internet that didn't involve then coming into my room every day multiple times. And then no hot water. Also the food in medicine at best. Oh, and paper thin walls and the hotel needs serious updating to the rooms and pool. But nice grounds and hot spring pool on site.

Such a beautiful property! Absolutely loved staying here and experiencing this area of Costa Rica. The room was nice and clean with air conditioning. The property it self was stunning with all the plants and walking to breakfast was peaceful every morning. The included breakfast was delicious! They switch a few things up each day which was nice and even had someone making omelets or waffles. The hot springs are in multiple areas and one has a swim up bar attached which was really relaxing. Did not use the sauna but also saw that on the property. Over all very lovely staying here and everyone was very kind. I would go back!

It was nice to have the hot springs.The onsite restaurant had a very extensive menu and decent prices. The grounds were lovely with so many flowers, trees,animals and well maintained. We had added an extra night on our stay a week before and had arranged with the reception staff to have the 2 reservations combined but sadly that was not handled and our room key cards quit working at a inconvenient time. And then instead of the staff being apologetic about their error they were rude. It was inexcusable. They also had the annoying towel card system. We were required to wear paper bracelets to come to the breakfast buffet. If this is a must then utilize the bracelets that are also the room key. We did feel that the hotel is overpriced especially if you have to deal with petty things like towel cards and paper bracelets to get your breakfast. Mexican resorts are far more advanced and user friendly in these areas.
