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 The lodge itself is a little outdated but we somewhat expected that due to the location.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
I left a week ago and can’t stop thinking about this amazing place. We were in room 904 on the second floor and could not have asked for a better view of Arenal. The room was amazing. The walk to the pool was beautiful with all the plants and animals. The staff were all so kind, happy, and helpful. The food was delicious and everything was clean. The hot springs were more like warm springs but we did not mind. We took advantage of the complimentary shuttle and visit to Titoku Hot springs and found them to be too hot for us to stay in too long. We saw monkeys, sloth, toucan, and coati on the property. Can’t wait to go back. Pura Vida!
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 is truly a 5 star Hotel . The all around Service is outstanding ! From the moment we walked out of our drivers vehicle we we treated as if we were the only guests staying on the property. All the staff went above and beyond taking care of all our needs the detail service is exquisite and that includes Bell Boy, Front Counter Staff, Restaurant Wait Staff, Pool Bartenders, they always addressed us by our names they always remained Professional and friendly while never compromising their detailed service . I must mention the Daily Breakfast spread was the best I’ve ever had . The selection of the fresh squeezed juices were delicious. We will definitely be back to be pampered in this amazing property and the next place we vacation will have very big shoes to fill. 💜💜💜
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.
