Family Hotels & Resorts in Santa Rosa from AU$120

"PLUSES: Surroundings are gorgeous and lots of trails and things to do; full of birds for Birders, and various other animals. The staff was (mostly) professional, knowledgable and friendly. The grounds and rooms are very clean. The included breakfast is quite tasty with a variety of options. CONCERNS: The property is isolated, as it is 40 mins w/ no traffic or road issues to La Fortuna and other activities outside the property. Some may love this. Dinners were more of a 3/5. Something I overlooked is that there is no air-conditioning, though this is on me for not realizing. During the warmer "dry" season we would have preferred air-conditioning. PS: For all of the Arenal area (not just the Observatory) if driving from the West (say from Tamarindo beach area), once you hit Lake Arenal, it's about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to the Observatory, and 2 hours+ to La Fortuna, and this is with no road issues and little traffic."

"Todo hermoso"

"This place is unbelievable. We loved it."

"very pleasant place for a relaxing vacation."

"“We had a very good experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, and housekeeping did a great job. The staff was professional and responsive whenever I needed assistance. The location made it easy to get around,but entertaining which was disappointing. Adding more variety and better planning would greatly improve the overall stay.” 406"

"Loved this place everything top service "

"Beautiful views of Arenal Volcano throughout the hotel and pools, and a convenient location near La Fortuna center. Rooms were well maintained overall, though there were occasional drain odors and signs of mold around the sink. The pools were excellent, and staff consistently delivered attentive service poolside. Overall, the staff were welcoming, friendly, and courteous, making for a very enjoyable stay."

"The hotel is overrated for the price. It is not clean and the food was regular, even the food was with hair. They don’t have even a mini fridge for such as expensive hotel. You have to park far away from the room. It was a lizard inside the blender and the pool has a frog inside. The view is not like it is in the picture."

"Great things to say about the hotel! Phenomenal shuttle service (10/10), driver Mauricio was punctual/patient. Upon landing he was ready w/ a nice cool van & drink cooler. The 2.5 hr ride was long, but he offered stops for food, restrooms, etc. He was knowledgeable w/ lots of recommendations & my 10 y/o loved that he had WIFI avail. Beautiful hotel w/ cute rooms, friendly/helpful staff & many animals. Lives up to its name, like a peaceful jungle w/ no noise. There’s a big fun farm mins from the rooms (horses, pig, cows, birds & chickens), we got to pick eggs, milk cows & visit an amazing veggie garden. Suggestions: More space for belongings. An extra person joined last min, the hotel provided an extra bed, but it wasn’t comfy. Food was SUBPAR, not my favorite. Great bacon, chicken croissants & fruit at breakfast. AMAZING Hotsprings, didn’t have to leave the hotel & ordered drinks/food right from the bar. My daughter made friends at the pool & we took beautiful photos w/ the volcano right behind us at the hotel. They called us a taxi to “El centro” for a good food/souvenir selection & it was easy to find one back ($10). Tried "Don Rufino" restaurant (good service/food/prices). We also shuttled from La Fortuna to Samara beach. The 4 hrs went quicker than expected & Mauricio was the best, stopping for great scenery/animals (monkeys, etc) & we felt very safe. The hotel’s convenient for each excursion (horseback riding, zip-lining). I would definitely come back! "
