Top Cerro Chato Lake Hotel Reviews

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

8/10 Good

"I stayed with my partner for his birthday and we had a great time. The property was clean and the pools were refreshing/relaxing. All the staff was very nice. Only complaint was I wish they did more for birthdays. I booked a dinner months prior with a note for birthday and also called before my reservation to remind them, but still had to ask for a dessert in which they brought out as if any other plate. Didn’t really make my fiancé feel special. But other than that everything was awesome!"

Hotel Faro Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"El servicio fue excelente! Las facilidades muy lindas y el sitio muy tranquilo."

Tifakara by the Waterfall

10/10 Excellent

"I cannot say enough good things about Tifakara. Our stay was magical. From the wildlife off our back balcony (the rare treat of seeing a whole troop of monkeys!), the frog tour was thrilling, the daily included breakfast delicious and a perfect way to start a day of adventures in La Fortuna, to the luxurious accommodations (I’m forever spoiled by the remote controlled bidet toilet). All that would have been more than enough. But by far the best part about Tifakara is the staff. They were warm and accommodating and attended to us without feeling obtrusive. Everyone was beyond friendly and the warmth and genuineness was palpable. We loved every moment of our stay at Tifakara and if we’re ever fortunate enough to return to La Fortuna we would stay nowhere else."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"Amazing hotel, with an incredible staff of people. The facilities, the view and experience were the best"

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff were amazing and very knowledgeable about the area and all of the services offered and best tours to book. The tours directly through the hotel were staffed with interesting people who were very knowledgeable about their speciality as well as the country…very impressed with the whole experience!"

Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas

8/10 Good

"Lo que mas me gusto fue el lugar. La vista es espectacular. Las habitaciones enormes, asi quiero mi proxima casa jajajaja"

Villa Laurel: Located on a livestock farm on the foothills of Arenal Volcano

10/10 Excellent

"Don’t hesitate to book. This is a five star property."

5 BR Rainforest Retreat 5 Minutes from Town!

10/10 Excellent

"We could not be happier with our stay at Casa Armonia! The house is incredibly spacious and as well equipped as any rental I have ever stayed in. We saw monkeys almost every day from the backyard, and walked a minute down the road to a night tour, where we saw a sloth, snakes, frogs, and more! The rooms are massive and the beds very comfortable. We travelled with our grandchildren, and the trampoline and swing set in the backyard kept them busy! The hot tub was icing on the cake for colder or rainy nights, where we could relax while watching spider monkeys jump from tree to tree.The hosts were friendly, quick to reply, and made great recommendations on what to do and where to eat. La Fortuna has become one of our favorite vacation destinations, and it all started with Casa Armonia! Thank you Silvia for hosting us, and we will absolutely be back!"

10/10 Excellent

"The location is extraordinary - El Castillo is c. 40 min from La Fortuna. Although it rained consistently, the views were stunning when the weather cleared. We enjoyed local restaurants and exploring the area from a more relaxed setting. We were not able to connect with the on-site concierge, so we are not able to comment. Comments in the guest book affirmed her helpfulness. The property was spacious and well-appointed. We found it good value for money."
