It was a nice stay! Wish they had more options for food in the menu. It was the same breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. The hot springs were not always hot and not all were working. The massages were amazing tho! Highly recommended.

It was our first time in Costa Rica and hotel Heliconias was a very good stay. It was perfect for the hot springs. It was very nice and the hotel rooms were like a treehouse. Service was good. The food was great. The traditional Costa Rican food, Gallo Pinto, is a must try.

We had a lovely time! Our room was very nice, as were the pool and hot springs. We booked one of the tours through the hotel and loved it! The only downside was the restaurant, which had very limited options for vegetarians and slow service.

We loved our stay at Hotel Heliconias. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. The grounds were beautiful. A sloth was right on the property. Beautiful flowers and birds. The restaurant had a wonderful free breakfast in the morning and great dinner options. The hot springs on the property were delightful. About 30 minutes from Arenal Volcano

Nature retreat and quiet atmosphere

The property is amazing for the nature lover. It’s a bit remote so no food options other than their restaurant around. Rooms are mediocre (cabin like). The staff is really nice and hard working. The thermal pool is lukewarm temperature not really hot.

A MUST experience. Staying in the treehouse is unique without giving up comfort, the surrounding area is lush and filled with wildlife, the restaurant serves good food. Doing the afternoon tour with Victor was great, especially his knowledge of plants, animals, birds and love of gardening for the restaurant.

Beautiful, well maintained grounds and excellent service. Every encounter with the staff from the reception desk, to the restaurant and hotel room was a pleasant experience. We travelled with families and rented three premium treehouse and all kids and adults loved it. Waking up to the sound of tweeting birds was the best good morning. We loved the peace and quiet and did not mind that it was 25 mins from La Fortuna or took longer to get to Arenal area. The free breakfast was delicious and lunch dinner (same menu) were generous portions. Will definitely come back again. We saw three sloths near the petting zoo and another in the hiking area. This was hands down our favorite hotel

Loved our stay. The place is kept beautifully, every one is very nice. There is one restaurant on premise, very good food. The big pool is refreshing, the hot springs are very cute. There are several sloths living in the property and the local guide was super helpful to show them to us. It was amazing to see them so close up. We stayed at la Iguana, real immersive experience and waking up in the morning in a quite and beautiful place was really nice. We had 2 kids under 10, and felt so safe. Also front desk was very helpful in providing information on tours and we ended up doing our own route as we had a rented car. We visited the volcano, around 35 to 40 min away. We all really loved our stay!
