Hotel Arenal Lodge
4.1/541 Reviews
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 The lodge itself is a little outdated but we somewhat expected that due to the location.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!
Hotel Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa
4.5/542 Reviews
The views are absolutely stunning and the hot springs marvellous but the facilities need an upgrade. Here are my suggestions: Improve ventilation in the bedrooms: - There is mildew/fungus growing on the walls in the bathroom - proof there is no ventilation, - Get rid of the hot tub/jacuzzi in the bedrooms - I doubt people use it given the hot springs in the park, yet they're an additional source of humidity and take up a lot of space. - Air the rooms so that they don't smell and feel like a cave. To facilitate this, install rigid nets on the glass window frames, to allow the outside air in and keep the bugs and insects out. I've seen this in plenty of other hotels. Improve the lighting in the bedrooms - the rooms are very dimly lit. Offer more reliable service - I requested a 6am wake-up call but reception called me at 6.23 am. The food is expensive for what it is. do not offer items that should not be served in an mountain area, for example the Caribbean seafood soup, which consisted of frozen seafood and was overpriced.
Arenal Paraiso Resort Spa & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs
3.8/547 Reviews
On a tour of Costa Rica with Gate1 travel we spent two days and nights here. WISH IT WAS MORE ! Instead of a typical hotel this resort features a restaurant, a shop for all kinds of things, several natural hot spa tubs, a pool with a swim up bar and more. No hotel here but quaint, beautiful separate cabins with an unbelievable view of Arenal Volcano. Everyone here is SO kind and helpful. My favorite was the crew at the pool bar of Roy, Victor and Dailyn. No matter has busy, they kept everyone served. If you are here ask Victor to show his juggling skills! Really a wonderful stay … unexpected and memorable !
The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort
4.7/543 Reviews
The Royal Corin was one of the best resorts we have stayed at. From the start, they were very communicative via email to confirm the reservation and make arrangements. Within a day of arrival, everyone knew our names and treated us like family. We made mention of celebrating a birthday, and the staff went over the top with making the week special. The resort was beautiful, hot springs were relaxing, and it was a very intimate feel. The breakfast was exceptional. The spa services were excellent, and location wise, everything in town was very close. We took advantage of the tours and private transportation, and it was effortless. We would recommend to everyone!
Paradise Hot Springs
4.5/541 Reviews
We spent 3 nights at this resort, which began our Costa Rica adventure. Upon arrival, we were given a complimentary upgrade to a junior suite! The room was large with refrigerator, balcony, sitting area, and a large bathroom (separate bathtub & shower). The hot springs were a welcome relaxation after days of hiking. The resort was an easy drive into La Fortuna. The staff was great - a wonderful beginning to our vacation!
The Springs Resort & Spa at Arenal
4.8/542 Reviews
We had an absolutely unforgettable stay at The Springs Resort in August 2024. If you’re considering whether to stay here, don’t hesitate – this resort is a true paradise. Surrounded by stunning natural beauty, relaxing hot springs pools, and breathtaking views of the volcano, everything was simply perfect. The staff were exceptionally friendly and accommodating, enhancing our experience. The breakfast area offered spectacular views, and the service at the main pool bar was excellent. One of the highlights of our stay was the horseback riding experience at their Activities Center. It was truly magical! Our guide led us through enchanting paths where we encountered various animals and birds we had never seen before. Costa Rican nature is truly magnificent, and The Springs is the perfect place to explore and enjoy it.
