The spa has an Indonesian-inspired design, and the property blends Balinese woodwork with local Costa Rican artwork.
“This hillside property distinguishes itself with Arenal Volcano views and private rainforest trails. The fusion of Balinese and Costa Rican design creates a distinctive atmosphere, and I particularly appreciate the multiple pools, including one with a swim-up bar. Its full-service spa and convenient access to La Fortuna's attractions make it a compelling choice.”
