Whitewater was excellent especially our guide Roberto
Arenal Hot Springs Hotel was amazing as were all our activities there.
Manuel Antonio Karahe Hotel is very dated but a beautiful place outside of the rooms. Our guide on the hike through the National Park was beyond spectacular

Disappointed especially after Arenal Hot Springs. Too many steps to get to the room. Food selection/quality was not good. Pool was loud with a bunch of kids. Hard to relax. Courtesy transport was very good. Disappointing

Rooms are dated and need an upgrade. Property needs a facelift. However, the grounds are beautiful. The pool was fun as was the bar/restaurant. Needs mor food selection at breakfast. Stunning beach.
