Top San Francisco Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"So much to love here! The breakfast was amazing with so many options for all members of our party, the grounds were gorgeous, the hot springs made for perfect evening entertainment and the wildlife around the property was so much fun to see! Only need to know is that the rooms are a little older- they were clean though and worked fine for us! Overall a solid value!!"

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

8/10 Good

"Property is beautiful and luxurious. Our vacation included The Springs, Nayara, mi Amor, Tabacon. Liked...the big rooms with view of volcano from bed. The vast manmade pools as well as the water slide are highlights like a waterpark. The activity center seems engaging, we didn't do many besides the big cat feeding. It was a spectacular experience seeing with the animals. What we didn't like... feels like staff here was lacking around the pool area and never left their bar nest. Also compared to all these other 5 star properties breakfast was not included, $30+ avocado toast +this and that tax:) just felt like the springs tried to squeeze every single penny out of their client. Staff was very professional just didn't look happy to be there, if that makes sense."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay was truly special in every way, the privacy of our bungalows nestled in the rainforest that kept us connected to nature but close enough to all the amenities we needed was amazing. The view of the volcanoes from breakfast and the pool, breathtaking, and the drive in and out so scenic, we cannot wait to return again someday!"

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"Unbelievably amazing stay! The 2 bedroom villa exceeded expectations. It was luxury mixed with lush tropical plants everywhere. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. The drivers and tour guides added to our great experience. We will definitely go back!!"

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"We enjoyed our stay! The staff was helpful planning our excursions and transportation. We were also glad to stay on property and walk the trails, see the lake and use the hot springs and pools. The restaurant had beautiful presentations with every meal I ordered."

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

8/10 Good

"This resort is amazing and the staff is great. My only complaint is that the bathroom in the room has a permanently open small window. This makes the bathroom extremely humid and uncomfortable. You have to keep the bathroom door closed so that the room does not feel the same."

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,"
