Volcano Lodge - Comment #2

The Hotel Volcano Lodge was perfect for our trip to La Fortuna. The grounds were beautiful and well kept. The staff were very nice and attentive. The rooms were spacious enough for four adults, and each day were were greeted with a cute towel formation. We enjoyed the nice patio with chairs outside ...

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...

Family of 5 - Arenal Lodge

We thoroughly enjoyed the hotel. It was a great place for to stay as we did our activities around the area. Volcano was mostly in clouds and it is a bit outside of the city and the driveway is very long and steep. Overall great...

wonderful view - Arenal Lodge

I have stayed several places at Arenal and Monteverde. This was a great hotel. We had a master suite. The view of the volcano was magnificent ( when the clouds lifted). The room was clean and very comfortable. Also a nice butterfly garden and two hikes on the property, one through a meadow and one t...

Absolutely Fantastic! - Miradas Arenal Hotel

I stayed at Miradas Arenal Hotel February 19 to the 22nd. Don't let the two star fool you. The Bungalow's are basic, clean, safe, and have cable TV. The property is beautiful; the trees, plants, flowers, pool, and lawn are well kept. The location between Tabacon and La Fortuna worked well f...

Nothing better/sweeter than this! - Miradas Arenal Hotel

We travelled in Costa Rica for over 2 weeks. We went from place to place and saw a lot. Stayed in lots of hotels, and ... we stayed in Miradas Arenal Hotel. Altough it is an 2-star hotel, you get the feeling that you're in a 4-5 stars hotel. The reason is very simple. Thanks to the lovely host yo...

We had a great time - Los Lagos Hotel

Los Lagos was clean and the food was amazing. Breakfast was awesome. I enjoyed the fresh fruit and the combination of typical Costa Rican food with 'American' style food. We had a good time over there. The view to the volcano was beautiful also. The only thing that I did not like was that the bed w...

Great hotel for the money - La Pradera Hotel

Stayed here for four days before Christmas. The grounds are beautiful. Very well maintained. Literally dozens of hummingbirds to be seen every morning. Cabins are large and clean, with plasma TV's and satellite programming. Great restaurant on site. Only negative is that the rooms are sparsely decor...

Rigth place to stay - La Pradera Hotel

La Pradera hotel is a very beatutiful place with very friendly personal. It is located conveniently and pretty cheap. Five minutes from Baldi Hot Springs and 500 meters from supermarket.

Nice spot but noisy next to highway - Arenal Volcano Inn

The staff here are very friendly and helpful and the view of the volcano from the cabin we had on the hill was great. The pool wasn't clean, however, and as it is on the main highway, the noise from the traffic was loud. The room was very musty smelling unless the windows were open. The gardens...

great hotel - Arenal Observatory Lodge

We stayed at Observatory Lodge in Jan. Our room was clean, a beautiful view of the lake and quiet. The meals in the restaurant were delicious and the tour and guide the next morning, all we had hoped for. You can view beautiful birds, a coatie near the deck, and the volcano at its best. We could...

Not Rustic - Just Awesome! - Arenal Observatory Lodge

We had read that this was a rustic (read: low quality) old science station and we were prepared to rough it for the best Arenal views. The road going there did nothing to assuage our concerns but once we arrived - AWESOME! Nice lobby, great restaurant, hot tub, pool, amazing gardens and trails, wi...

Very Nice Hotel - Arenal Springs Resort

Lavas Tacotal Hotel - Comment #1

The good people at Hotel Lavas Tacotal took very good care of us during our stay at Arenal. When we needed a taxi, they found one quickly. When we planned outings, they set up everything. The cabin and the view were both fantastic. We hadn\'t planned to eat so many meals at the hotel dining room, bu...

Lavas Tacotal Hotel - Comment #2

Having 3 teenagers poses problems in finding hotel rooms big enough. Lavas Tacotal has large cabins with 3 queen size beds great for our large family. Breakfast off the menu were small portions for teenagers, but delicious. The friendly staff were always available to help....

Roaches, bars, cold "hot tub" and smelly - Villas Vilma Hotel

This was not a great experience for my friend and I. The title of this review says it all. We had a huge roach in our room one night and when we told the hostess about it she said that was normal. I can handle bugs but not a post apocalyptic roach that decided to camp our by the way. The bars on th...

Arenal Manoa Hotel - Comment #2

We stayed 3 days at the Arenal Manoa and were surprised by the spaciousness of the rooms layout and the extravagance of the bathroom�s design with the high ceiling. First we thought the pool and Jacuzzi are for the eyes only but after we found the water had therapeutic temperatures it was very relax...

Costa Verde Hotel - Comment #2

This hotel was okay. The ground of the hotel offer alot to explore, including nature trails, three pools, and three restaurants. The staff was also friendly and helpful. However, if you do not like having bugs in your room you might want to stay somewhere else. Our room had many red ants, they did n...

Exceptional hotel - Arenal Nayara Hotel

This hotel was probably the nicest we have ever stayed in.

The grou...

Great stay. - Mountain Paradise Hotel

The first 2 nights of our honeymoon were spent at Mountain Paradise, this is a very nice place. The room is awesome and the way the rooms are set up is very nice.

Did not deliver - Linda Vista del Norte Hotel

We reserved and paid for a superior room. When we arrived, we were put in an inferior room without explanation. When we complained we were given vouchers for a meager buffet dinner. This resort is suitable only for group adventure tours. It is noisy, huge and impersonal. Plus, you may not get what ...
