so relaxing and peaceful - Arenal Paraiso Hotel

This hotel was very luxurious and what made it so great was the service and the staff who really want to please. The hot springs are well maintained and the pools were too. Beautiful landscaping and wildlife, mainly birds. The food in the restaurant was very reasonableand delicious. Our only comp...

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....

Volcano Lodge and Gardens - Comment #2

We thoroughly enjoyed 2 nights at Volcano Lodge. The spacious bungalow (we loved tghe overed porch), the beautiful and well kept grouns the delicious breakfast buffet, and most of all, the WONDERFUL and HELPFUL front desk staff all helped make our stay there very enjoyable. We moved on for our thi...

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...

Fabulous hotel - Lomas del Volcan Hotel

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...

Wow! We loved this hotel! - Arenal Lodge

This is the third time I stay in this hotel. I love this place. The view is fantastic. The people are fantastic. The service is wonderful. Yes, it is difficult to get up the mountain; but that is the price you pay for a beautiful view. We took the horse tour, the jungle walk, and just loved ev...

Beautiful Hotel and view - Miradas Arenal Hotel

Unfortunaly we were only able to stay 1 night at the Miradas Arenal Hotel. We would have love to stay longer. The view fro our room and breakfast area of the volcano was beautiful. Room was clean and service was perfect. I defiantly stay here again and for more than one night....

Fantastic! - Miradas Arenal Hotel

We loved the Miradas, more specifically the family who owns it. They were so very nice and fixed us the most wonderful breakfasts each morning. They were very personable and called us by our first names each time we saw them. The room was always clean and the grounds were spectacular. It rai...

Arenal Kioro Suites and Spa - Comment #1

A fabulous and beautiful hotel. The best view we ever had.

Loved the place - Los Lagos Hotel

Spent two night at Los Lagos whilst on a 7 night rainforest tour and loved it. Even the low clouds and non-appearance of the the volcano could not detract from our enjoyment. Really comfy, clean rooms and the dreamy hotpool wet bar with the slide was so much fun. We were there in late November 2011 ...
December 30, 2011, by Mark & Heather Berry (Great Britain)

awesome place - Los Lagos Hotel

Stayed 3 nights with three friends. Had the room with 2 queen beds and two pull outs. The pull outs are like trundle beds with a full mattress that slides from underneath. The pools are inviting and fabulous. The hot spring has clean clean water that leaves you refreshed. I took the onsite canop...

An awesome view! - La Pradera Hotel

We recently stayed at La Pradera Hotel in one of the cabins and absolutely loved it! This is one of the places we would stay at our next trip to Costa Rica. The grounds were lush and green, the cabin was spacious, clean and have a wonderful front porch for relaxing and enjoying the view of Arenal....

Pleasant surprise - La Pradera Hotel

We had just come from Arenal Observatory Hotel which is much more higher end, but we were extremely happy with the room and with the food. I would definitely go back. We were there at end of March. The weather was almost perfect. We did not need a/c so no comment on how it works. Good location close...

Beautiful premises - Arenal Volcano Inn

We loved staying at Arenal Volcano Inn. Everything within one's reach, swimming pool, jacuzzi, restaurant. Beautiful garden, free internet for guests (important) Quiet environment. The rooms are spacious, very clean and lots of comfort: airco, fridge, coffee setting facilities, large bathroom with g...

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...

Great place to stay!! - Arenal Observatory Lodge

Observatory lodge: The place where it all began - with the orignal seismograph still working! Comfortable, unpretentious accomodation - I appreciated the absence of a TV. Friendly and competent guides, interesting tour offered. Great hot tub and pool. Well oriented Rooms , good view of the volcano. ...

Loved our stay at Arenal Springs - Arenal Springs Resort

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 ...

Romántico y muy muy cálido... - Arenal Manoa Hotel

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

We had a fantastic stay at La Selva Adventure Resort. The hotel is located just a few kilometers outside of La Fortuna and has fantastic Volcano views.

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...

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...

A true paradise - Mountain Paradise Hotel

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....

spectacular view!! - Linda Vista del Norte Hotel

Easily the best place we stayed during our trip to Costa Rica. The view of the volcano from our room was breathtaking. There were floor to ceiling windows and when you opened the curtains, the volcano was right there! Beautiful, clean rooms tastefully decorated with a wonderful on site restaurant. I...
