we heard it most in the morning when people were eating an early breakfast

breakfast was fresh, filling, and provided a great variety

to top it all off, we even had the incredible experience of sharing breakfast with some curious monkeys

loved the craft beer bar and watching the wildlife from the restaurant balcony

we also loved the coffee bar in the room and the wonderful smelling soaps and lotions

great staff. great location. delicious breakfast. very comfortable and clean rooms.

too many great things to list but food, drinks, evening activities for adults and kids, recommendations for excursions, private agunti preserve access, etc

in any bookings or questions you have small resort feels personal great room and amenities decent breakfast

the poached eggs for breakfast were perfectly done, pancakes were light and fluffy

breakfast is included and is way above the average you find in the area

very good breakfast, very friendly staff

delicious and extensive breakfast with plenty of options

if you are traveling with kids, there was plenty of room on the grounds for kids to run about

were no hooks or laundry rests in the bathroom or elsewhere in the house which made it very difficult to dry our

breakfast is excellent

for breakfast they had this amazing homemade marmalade.the shower was very big.

room was big, breakfast was good, staff were friendly and helpful

laundry is done very quickly for 10$ per kilos

delicious breakfast nice rooms and surroundings great location - just perfect

we also had our laundry done through the hotel - i'm sure we could have gotten a better price if we'd taken it to

the kitchen staff made a lovely breakfast and were friendly

only down fall was the kids staying across the hall would wake us up every morning

their laundry service was fast and affordable as well

and common areas to relax, read, watch the parrots and other birds fly by, or play cards with the kids

she even booked our dinner reservations and managed our laundry service

pool so clean

wifi in the room at night

wifi was excellent

new, beautiful, very clean, modern, good breakfast, highly recommended

there was a fully equipt kitchen with fridge

wifi& tv service could use some improvement.

spa tub, outdoor spaces for relaxing, and everything we needed in the kitchen

- well prepared, organic, vegan meals - open plan so you can see the chef cooking in the clean kitchen - welcome drink highly

pool needed to be cleaned.

near the small house there is a small pool filled with cold water, ideal to relax on a hot sunny day

no kitchen towels and scarce kitchen supplies

i would highly recommend essence arenal and spa to anyone looking for a great experience with nature

two rooms, one had a king bed and the other had two twins, perfect layout for my family with two kids

) in the bar and restaurant was great at his job and so personable and funny he made us want to go

the food was delicious--breakfast would have been better if it had been hotter--need more thermal burners under food

laundry

families (4 adults, kids ages 12, 12, 12, 14, 14) stayed here form 7/3 to 7/6

breakfast was tasty and varied

the restaurant at the hotel: breakfast is good. the dinner is dissapointing. and overpriced.

the children loved the swimming pool and we all enjoyed the warm swim up bar in the evenings

the wifi was very slow and only working on the balcony

it would also be nice to have a small meditation room at the spa and maybe some some yoga classes would be nice

highlights of the stay is homily breakfast, cooked at host kitchen every day and what a real home coming feel and thank you for the

wifi was not dependable but it was adequate
