They have a pond like area not maintained.
Electrical panel main box was exposed, no covers. I stayed in cottage 42. Lights need upgrade to more brightness inside home. Need trimming of leaves at entrance.

We had a great stay here. The rooms were clean and had everything you need, including a/c. The property itself is very lush and beautiful. It is very walkable. You can take a short walk to La Fortuna where you can find any type of food you desire. I loved the area and my stay at Arenal Montechiari.

The bad......The lights were dim, she shower fluctuated a lot without moving the setting. Pillows and beds were worn out, not enough pool chairs, no place to set toiletries or clothes.
The good......people cleaning everywhere, pool was clean, sheets were clean, conveniently located, good breakfast, a/c worked well.

The property is old. The bathroom is small. Shower was good but the toilet and sink were finicky - had to operate them just right so they didn't drip. We were assigned a cabin right next to the heavily trafficked area so got noisy at times. There were empty cabins away from the reception area but not sure why we were not given those. Breakfast was good. Wifi only works near the reception and breakfast area.

This place is beautiful and the staff was friendly. It's walking distance to the town square. The rooms have air conditioning which is nice because it can be so hot outside so nice to walk into a cool room. My son loved the pool. Breakfast was yummy and served buffet style. It also changed slightly each morning. The staff even showed us the ice machine which was nice to fill up our water bottles. I found this place by a recommendation from my friend and I would recommend.
