Arenal Volcanic Villas

La Fortuna

"Omg 10/10. I had a blast staying here. The hot tub came in handy after going hiking. I went during the wet season so the volcano was covered by clouds but I’m sure during the dry seasoning the view is beautiful. Everything was well-kept. The villa itself was nice and elevated inside. Would stay here again. The villa is very nice but it’s also fairly new so there’s a dirt road that leads to it, so when you uber or are using a shuttle make sure to advise them to come to the end of the dirt road....

"We had a fantastic time! Orlando (the owner), his family, and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming! We really enjoyed the thermal longevity circuit, plus we went tubing down the river which was a blast too! On day 2 we did the cultural coffee, chocolate, tortilla demonstration and we also went on a short hike through the trail where Orlando helped us spot a sloth! We had the pizza at the resort the first night, so then we wanted to try out some authentic Costa Rican and he was able to...

"My partner and I booked this property however when we arrived at 7pm, there was a large gate blocking the entrance and no one was there. We tried and tried to call and message the property and never received a response. La Fortuna is somewhat out in the country without many on the spot lodging options. It took us until 945 pm before we were able to get a far from desirable accommodations. We were preparing to sleep in our car by that time. We have yet to receive a refund or response. There...

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"Rooms were extremely nice and clean. Restaurant food and staff were awesome. Location and view were no douth the best in Costa Rica. 100% recommend this to my family and friends..."

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ **An Extraordinary Rainforest Retreat** Our stay at Noah's Forest by Tifakara exceeded every expectation and has become one of the most memorable travel experiences we've ever had. From the moment we arrived, we were captivated by the stunning surroundings. The resort is beautifully integrated into the rainforest, offering a peaceful and luxurious escape where nature and comfort exist in perfect harmony. Every morning brought the sounds of tropical birds and wildlife, making it feel as though we were living in the heart of the forest. Our room was exceptional—spacious, beautifully appointed and immaculately maintained. Every amenity had been thoughtfully considered, creating a perfect balance of luxury and comfort. The private hot tub was an absolute highlight. Relaxing in the warm water while surrounded by the sights and sounds of the rainforest was an experience we'll never forget. The food throughout our stay was outstanding. Every meal was beautifully presented, bursting with fresh local flavours and prepared to an exceptionally high standard. Whether it was breakfast, lunch or dinner, each dish reflected the passion and care of the talented culinary team. What truly sets Noah's Forest apart, however, is its people. Every member of staff greeted us with genuine warmth, kindness and professionalism. Their passion for ensuring guests have an unforgettable stay shines through in everything they do, creating an atmosphere that feels most welcoming,"

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"This was one of our favorite stays. The check in was easy. The rooms were beautiful. They are two story building with two rooms in each building. They were equipped with shampoo, conditioner, body wash, lotion, and hand soap dispenser. They had a pool with 3 hot tubs. Towels were provided. We enjoyed the trail where we saw a strawberry dart frog. A staff also took his time to point out a sloth that was on the property. Everyone seemed friendly. We were close to sodas and restaurants. The breakfast was delicious: rice, a meat, pancakes, vegetables, breads, yogurt, cereal, ham, cheese, fruit, and drinks."

Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views

10/10 Excellent

"My family of 5 enjoyed our 5 night stay here very much. The pools were nice to soak in after a day of hiking, ranging from 80.6 degrees to around 105 I think. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and everything seemed very clean. We enjoyed the included breakfast in the mornings before starting our day, and ice from the bar to fill our water bottles. We were disappointed that the Ficus coffee bar didn't open until 3, but after about the 3rd day we realized that the bar inside the restaurant served almost all the same drinks and they were open all day. The views of the volcano (in good weather) are spectacular from the rear of the property."

Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was pleasant. The staff was friendly. We enjoyed the swim up bars. The only recommendation for improvement would be to have an adults only area. Even though there is a kids pool, we found that older kids would often come up to the areas of the swim up bars. A place to enjoy a drink and relax without the presence of loud teens would be nice. Other than that, everything was amazing!"
