The hotel and staff were great, it was very quiet and a great view of the volcano. Little further out from town but worth it if you want a quieter stay.

Beautiful property up in the clouds. On clear days you can see the lake. Staff was excellent, front desk was very helpful with recommendations and best ways to see the area. The property is well kept for its age. The major draw back is the road to the property is rough especially at night. There was absolutely no lighting for 2 km until you get up to the property itself

The property was nice. I liked the hot tubs and pool for the kids. The restaurant was convenient and loved the included breakfast. The staff would leave fruit scraps out for the birds in the morning and it was lovely to watch the birds at breakfast.

We had a quick stay here so didn't get to enjoy many of the amenities. But the hot tub was nice and the restaurant food really good. Our rooms was charming. The only drawback was a huge rain storm overnight. We could understand hearing the rain on the roof, but there was something banging from the wind that kept us up a bit. Otherwise the hotel is in a great location to everything.

It was very quiet and beautiful, and the staff were kind and helpful. The room was a good size and it was nice having a seating area at the front patio. However, the room was dark and there was no fan in the bathroom, so our room felt damp alot of the time.

The property is beautiful the view of el arenal is gorgeous. The drive up to the actual hotel is pretty wild especially at night it felt so scary through the dark winding road like if you were in a Jurassic Park movie. During the day the ride was much more manageable but definitely not for an unseasoned driver. We came during dry season yet there was a lot of rain making the drive scarier. However the view and property ambience was worth it. Property could use some extra amenities to make it top notch, specifically you can hear every creak through the walls and floors. Overall our family had a very nice time. The staff at the restaurant was lovely. Pura vida!

The jungle trail on the property was great. We saw a lot of wildlife and plants. The food at the lodge was very good and breakfast included was delicious. We stayed in the Chalet and had amazing views. Overall the property was great but highly recommend checking in during the day due to the 2km drive off the main road to the property.

Arenal lodge is much further than the main town of La Fortuna so transporting is harder. Most tour companies charge extra to pick/drop from this location. The rooms are outdated and we also felt like there were some unnatural activity like ghosts on the property. One of the nights we stayed, we kept hearing the doors slamming and stomping upstairs. The doors were not visibly slamming so not sure what was going on. We also heard people talking at night but there weren't any additional guests in the area we were staying at. The second night, thankfully, it wasn't so bad. Otherwise, the property is very nice, there is a jungle trail which honestly was so much fun to explore. The reception guy in the AM was very helpful, the guy in the PM was not.
