We stayed here for 5 nights during our honeymoon and had a fantastic stay. Our room was so peaceful and we had a wonderful view of the volcano. They had left us some gorgeous chocolate covered strawberries for our honeymoon when we arrived! The pool area was great, staff all super friendly and helpful. The hotel is in a beautiful setting with so much wildlife around.

Amazing amazing amazing! I want to go back already! Hot springs were amazing, I love the option of having at least one of the hot springs open 24/7, they change it each night for cleaning purposes, they’re very strict on the towels, each one is literally accounted for otherwise there is a fee per towel, no big deal as long as you keep track, didn’t really need to carry a towel around anyway, the only downside I’d have to say was the Italian restaurant was much better then the buffet option, also the slides are pretty intense, I actually hurt my foot on one of them, but it didn’t stop the fun. Wish I were back there!

What can I say, this is the best hotel we have ever stayed in and we have been to Four Seasons and Belmont hotels before and this beats them hands down. The quality of everything is top notch. We stayed in a rainforest villa with plunge pool and the room was massive, double showers inside and out, queen bed and plenty of storage space, we were completely unoverlooked. But what really makes this hotel special is the staff. The attitude of every member of staff we encountered was most definitely “can do”. They were all so courteous and cheerful which was so nice to see. Everybody told us their names although we can’t remember them. We cannot praise this hotel highly enough. Would we return? It’s a resounding yes from us. They you to everybody who made this a very special stay for us.

We had an amazing time at Arenal Lodge! We traveled as a family of 4 and spent the first half of our trip at Arenal Lodge and the last half at an all-inclusive along the coast! This location was by far our favorite! On arrival, we were upgraded to a family suite - two connecting rooms, one with 2 queen beds and 1 with a king bed. The beds were quite comfortable. Each room had a balcony facing the Arenal volcano. We (luckily) had amazing views of the volcano each morning/day! The lodge itself is a little outdated but we somewhat expected that due to the location. The pool was not clean when we arrived but by the next day, it was clear! We were not as lucky with the 2 hot tubs – they remained dirty and unusable for our stay. However, they were not a necessity with the temperatures! Falling asleep to all the sounds of nature and animals took a little getting used to, but was surprisingly relaxing. We enjoyed a late-night rainstorm, which was amazing! The drive to the lodge from the main road is cobblestone, quite windy, and takes roughly 15 minutes. I would recommend renting a car for your trip. It is difficult to obtain a ride into La Fortuna, which is roughly 20 minutes away, and you will be charged an extra fee from excursion companies to make the trek up to the lodge for pick-ups. The lodge does have a transport van but this is for staff use on the property grounds. We ate in the restaurant each night – there was not a large selection of items but each item we ordered was good. The bar area has large windows that open and occasionally green tree frogs make their way inside! We spent time each day on the balcony, talking and enjoying the spectacular view, playing pool in the bar, and taking in a very different culture from our everyday life! It was an amazing experience, to say the least!

It’s a beautiful complex with many natural hot springs and pool to enjoy . The room is spacious and very clean, bathrooms is huge too . We were there for 3 days 2 nights , only wish we could have stayed longer. Because we had to leave very early on our departure day ( 5:30 am ) , we had a breakfast to go packed by the hotel staff . It shows a great service they offer to their guests and definitely added another wonderful experience in La Fortuna. !
