Nice Facilities - Arenal Paraiso Hotel

Overall, we enjoyed our stay at Arenal Paraiso. The staff were all very nice and helpful. The rooms, restaurant, thermal pools and locker rooms were very clean. We enjoyed the landscaping, birds, sloths and the Paraiso cats! The mattresses in the rooms were VERY uncomfortable and need to be replaced...

average Room,Great view - Volcano Lodge and Gardens

Stayed one night. Loved the grounds,view and little patio. Didn't like fact we couldn't lock the door to the patio and that we had to fend for ourselves at breakfast when it came to coffee and seating...

Beautiful setting - Volcano Lodge and Gardens

We were impressed by the beautiful land scape of the hotel !! The rooms were nice and clean, and the view from our room was spectacular. The breakfast was plentiful. Don't expect a good value at the restaurant though....

not so good - Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort

One expects certain things of a hotel rated 5-star, even if it is in a difficult and remote location. None of those things are at Tabacon. Our room smelled bad (we couldn't even air it out since there were no screens on the windows), our "view" was a bank ten feet from the window as though we were...

Great Hotel Perfect Location - Montana de Fuego Hotel

My husband and I stayed at Montana de Fuego for 3 nights. The hotel staff was excellent, the hotel is in a perfect location. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay and would definitely recommend this hotel - we would not hesitate to stay there again. It was one of the highlights of our trip....

An expensive disappointment - Montana de Fuego Hotel

Although the location is good and the grounds are well kept, this hotel seems to be run for the convenience of the staff rather than the guests. The groundskeepers start mowing the grass with weed wackers at 8 am just outside your bedroom window. It's an unholy racket. There were noisy, smelly...

Awesome Hotel - Lomas del Volcan Hotel

we stayed at Lomas Del Volcan in January 2008 for 7 nights. It was an amzing hotel. The staff was so helpful and friendly, the food was excellent. The views of the Volcano were unbelievable. The rooms were always clean. We are planning to come back again in the next year and we will stay here a...

Great View - Arenal Lodge

Arenal Lodge is situated on a mountain above the Arenal Lake with a great view on the Arenal Volcano, even from the nice pool. We lived in a chalet, somehow 70ies architecture buildings, which offer comfort and great view, but somehow don't fit in the beautiful landscape. The staff was absolutely fr...

Very nice bungalowhotel - Miradas Arenal Hotel

We had a nice and quiet bungalow with a beautifull view. The staff was very friendly. We wondered why not every bungalow was occupied, but of course this added up to the quietness....

Lovely Place! - Los Lagos Hotel

A lovely comfortable place - La Pradera Hotel

We stayed at LaPradera for two evenings while visiting Arenal and area. It is a very clean and comfortable hotel. The gardens around the cottages and the hotel are so well manicured. We truly enjoyed the view of Arenal from our front porch. The staff are very friendly and most helpful. The extra tou...

Wonderful place to stay - Lost Iguana Resort

Our stay at Lost Iguana was absolutely wonderful. The rooms were spacious, beautiful and had the feeling of bringing the outdoors inside. The views were spectacular. Customer service was top notch all the way around; check-in, guest services, and dining. Once on site, there was no need to leave ...

Nice place to visit - Arenal Observatory Lodge

Located on what is consdered the 'backside' of the volcano you are secluded away from most things. The road there is really poor - about 6 miles of EXTREMELY bumpy road you can't do more than about 20-30kph or you'd really be pushing it. Road was so bad we skipped going out and exploring the area ...
March 15, 2012, by John Berg (United States)

beautiful grounds but not worth the $ - Arenal Observatory Lodge

Very "touresty" unfriendly staff. We wished we would have stayed in Lafortuna & did a day trip to Arenal. We paid for a smithsonine room but DID NOT look anything like the pictures. The waiters were the friendlyist...

Not nice... great!!! - Lavas Tacotal Hotel

The hotel has an splendid view of the Arenal Volcano. Although it was cloudy and rainy, it was a very nice day! It is very close to the small town of La Fortuna, where there is a bar with live music, good food, and nice beer. The food in the hotel was awesome. Well... Costa Rican food is always good...

A room with a view! - Lavas Tacotal Hotel

The hotel grounds and room were lovely - we had an end unit that looked towards the volcano. We were dismayed though that our room wasn't cleaned at all the 4 days we stayed there. It also was too far out from La Fortuna to walk so a taxi was needed each time we wanted to go into town. There may ...

En mi permanencia en el hotel, me sentí muy confortable, con una vista exquisita hacia el volcán. El servicio fue de lo mejor. Mis amigos, familia y yo quedamos muy satisfechos....

very impressive well-kept precinct - Arenal Manoa Hotel

the hotel precinct was overwhelming, the individual lodges as well and the view on the volcano is definitely impressive. The room (241) is very spacious, however does not invite to spend more time than necessary in it as the furniture is old-fashioned and not very cosy. As a whole we would recommen...

Beautiful Hotel - Costa Verde Hotel

Wonderful place to live while staying in Manuel Antonio. Our bungalow A11, was spacious and in a very pretty and natural setting. Beautiful wood used in the trim and furniture. Only disappointment was the bathroom. It was not updated and had lots of little ants. The setting of the hotel was lush, g...

Costa Verde Hotel - Comment #2

This is a wonderful place to stay-the rooms are great,the views fantastic, and there really are more monkeys than people . We saw more animals here than we did anywhere else in the area. I love Costa Verde and highly recommend it to everyone!...

Very nice hotel - Magic Mountain Hotel

We were in the Aranal area two nights. This is where we spent our second night. The room comes with all the modern conveniences, is spacious, and has a patio onto the lovely garden Magic Mountain Hotel keeps. It is about a mile from town center, close enough to be convenient and far enough out to...

Kokoro Arenal Hotel - Comment #2

Photos Don't do This Place Justice. - Arenal Nayara Hotel

The jouney to this hotel will leave you second guessing yourself. Just wait til you arrive. The gardens and rooms are just as depicted on their website, yet even better. You will not believe the views and the outstanding service. Highly recommended and a must see if you are looking to visit this...
April 05, 2011, by Phillip Summers (United States)

Exceptional hotel - Arenal Nayara Hotel

This hotel was probably the nicest we have ever stayed in. The room\'s view faced the volcano and the room itself, besides being enormous, had both an outdoor and indoor shower...not too many places have that to offer. the animals made from towels left on our bedwas an extra special touch. The grou...

convenient, modern, great hotel - Royal Corin Hotel

The hotel, although situated,on a main road managed to be very beautiful and private. The rooms are very modern and clean, the linens are soft, robes are waiting for you. We ate lunch outside by the pools and breakfast and the food was very good. The pools/ thermal baths were very warm and inv...

Great Hotel but expensive for value - Royal Corin Hotel

Great Hotel, clean, friendly staff, probably 4 star would be fine (I believe it is advertised and priced as a 5 star). The hotel does not have a gym, the restaurant staff is friendly, but not quite 5 star service. I would give 8 points out of 10. We paid $250/night, one king bed. The Four Season...

Peaceful, romantic, and view-laden - The Springs Resort and Spa

We spent 3 nights of our honeymoon at The Springs. The staff, especially Joey the manager, took wonderful care of us. The rooms are new, nice, and all have terrific volcano views. The springs themselves are a nice treat but are merely icing on an otherwise rich cake....

Great Hotel - Linda Vista del Norte Hotel

My 17 year old daughter, husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our stay in Cabin 28 at Linda Vista. The privacy was so wonderful and the tile porch facing the volcano and the lake was a pure delight.
