Top Arenal Hotel Reviews

Recent Reviews in Arenal

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"Had a great time with the family inc young kids. Lots of pool time and beautiful views of the volcano. It rained a lot, as expected, but that didn't stop us from enjoying ourselves at all. We kept most of the activities to the AM and hung around the property in the PM."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location & Property: The hotel is located between the town of La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano National Park. It is well connected and right next to the main road, making it easy to get around by car. The property is a large resort consisting of several buildings surrounded by gardens, which gives the whole place a welcoming and pleasant feel. Room: Our room was spacious and bright, located on the ground floor of one of the buildings. It looked new and very well maintained. It was clean, and the beds were large and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries. Breakfast: Breakfast was served in a large restaurant and was excellent, with plenty of choices, both hot and cold. The quality of the food and drinks was probably the best we experienced during our entire trip around Costa Rica. Facilities & Surroundings: What really made me wish I could give this hotel six stars, though, were the thermal pools. There are around a dozen pools, with different temperatures ranging from hot to cool, so there is something for everyone. Our kid had a blast going down the water slides, while my husband enjoyed a piña colada at the bar inside one of the pools. And the views were amazing: from the pools, we could see Arenal Volcano, including its crater and fumaroles. Overall: In short, this is an extraordinary place to stay. It feels much more like an experience in itself than simply a hotel stay."

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"The place is nice Is pretty cool you in the middle of the rainforest. We love the place only thing is I wish they had more lights, it gets pretty dark at night not enough light."

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our best stay while in Costa Rica. Big breakfast buffet, six pools (one big one, one small one, and 4 semi-private pools), tons of birds hanging out in the beautiful landscaping, close to La Fortuna waterfall, rustic but comfortable rooms with big balconies, good off-street parking, WiFi worked fine. Mini-bar was a little expensive, but what hotel's isn't? Staff were a little stiff, and they shut off the AC in our room when we were gone for the day, but other than that, pretty fantastic."

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"Second time staying here, first time with our 18 month old son. The thermal rooms were perfect for relaxing while he was napping or after he fell asleep and he had a lot of fun in the kid pool."

La Mansion Inn Arenal

8/10 Good

"We had a one night stay at this hotel and it made for a good stopover. The chalets were comfortable. Ours had a double and twin room connected by a bathroom, and had a sofa and fridge. The beds were comfy and with netting over the windows, you could open them to let a breeze in and hear the frogs without worrying about insects. Each chalet has a private terrace with a beautiful view of the lake. The swimmimg pools were a real highlight, with an amazing backdrop of the lake. The warm pool was a real treat. Breakfast was basic and we decided to go elsewhere for our evening meal. Don't bother with the path down the lake, it is a bit underwhelming and litter-strewn and was very boggy in places after the rain!"

Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The hot springs and the area around it are amazing!"

Nayara Gardens

10/10 Excellent

"Is nice resort and nice staff, we love to stay, will be back next year."

Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Muy bonito el lugar. Nos atendieron bien. El front desk nos orientó y el personal excelente. Recomendado. Saludos desde Puerto Rico."
