We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Arenal Rabfer! The staff are super helpful—a big shout out to Fernanda and Fernando on the front desk, who were a huge help in booking activities (there is so much to choose from!) and transportation. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, the pool is lovely, the food in the restaurant is delicious, and the location is fantastic: less than a block to restaurants, a bank, a fresh fruit store, and anything else you might want. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The pool was nice. The breakfast was OK - several options at the restaurant next door. The biggest negative was that the AC was right above the bed and blew cold air directly on us at night.

The staff was always helpful and courteous. The complimentary breakfast was great. Location was convenient to downtown and the city square and restaurants. An item was lost from my suitcase and the staff was extremely helpful in locating the item and went out of their way to return it to me.

Pleasent hotel just 2 blocks from the heart of town. Good onsite resturant that had a scrumptious fixed menu offering for breakfast. Room was comfortable with working AC. Staff were very accomodating of requests.

The hotel is clean. I really like the upstairs community room that had sofas and a work table with plug-ins to charge your phone or plug in a computer. It is open air with Windows so you can see outside and it is on the second floor. I enjoy relaxing there and watching the people on the street and enjoying the nice fresh air! The front desk reception was very helpful and accommodating when my tour left right when breakfast started. They offered a cold breakfast option that I could pick up the night before! Since my tour started a little after breakfast started the receptionist scheduled a to go breakfast for me! The hotel is in the center of La fortina so the shuttle tour buses pick up from the hotel.

My daughter and I stayed at Hotel Arenal Rabfer for 8 days. Our stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The customer service here was exceptional and my daughter and I loved the breakfast. Roberto was very kind and treated us like family. Fernando (the lady with the pretty eyes) was very personable and sweet. Everyone was supper nice and made us felt welcome. I would definitely come back or recommend this hotel to my friends.

We had exceptional service. Fernanda was fantastic and arranged for us to have breakfast to-go because we were checking out super early before breakfast was available. The room was basic, clean, everything you need. Walkable to everything. Pool looked nice though we didn’t use it. Would stay again if passing through la fortuna.

Clean small property. Nice friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel did not provide any information regarding activities. Although they were easily available once you were in the shopping area. We used Uber for transportation.

The photos shown are not exactly how it appears. We were given a room that was so dark and with an outdated tv, no fridge for medication. There was. Very little parking for rental. However it was very near shops and restaurants.

8/10

Hotel is good in downtown La Fortuna but still one lane away so not very noisy although you can hear vehicles at night. 4 options for breakfast - and they are all good. I tried their avacado toast breakfast twice and it was good. I also had their rice beans eggs breakfast and it was good too. My wife had the fruit bowl and it was great too. Good coffee too. Hotel lobby has water dispenser so you dont have buy water but can use their filtered water. Hotel attracts good birds. Very close to mini mart and also to downtown which has many restaurants. Uber is always available and is always only one minute away due to proximity to downtime. Highly recommended.
