Fantastic hot springs

The grounds are beautiful and view of the volcano once the clouds cleared was amazing. Great breakfast. Shuttle service in the rain was great. Seemed understaffed however and a few things needed repair.

We liked the overall grounds and hot springs. The staff was very good. However, it needs updating. The last night for dinner we ate early and it was raining. We were seated right under a roof leak, in a near empty dining room. But the food was great and our desserts to go were presented artistically.

Loved the hot springs on site. Friendly staff and excellent location. My only complaint is the mattresses definitely need to be updated. But, for the price, this was an excellent stay, I would book again.

The grounds and views of the volcano were amazing. The villa was spacious and comfortable. We did have a leak after heavy rains and reported it but never heard back. A TV viewable from the couch would be nice and lower priced food options in the snack bar would be good. The hot springs were relaxing. Beautiful property.

This was a nice hotel and experience. Absolutely loved the access to the hot springs which were pretty hot. We didn't have good weather so we could not see the volcano rom our room unfortunately. The breakfast was delicious and the staff were all very helpful and nice. It was a quick drive to the city and close to many restaurants. We did enjoy our stay!

I traveled solo and felt so peaceful and safe! All the staff is a delight - especially Roy who always remembered my name, Fabiana who gives the best massages and Christian the tour guide. Town is 10 minutes away and Baldi Hot Springs are 5 minutes. Would definitely stay again!

Beautiful hotel with an amazing view of the volcano. Property is beautiful l, well maintained. Really liked the different hot spring pools with different temperatures. The wet bar was pretty nice. Liked better the breakfast than the lunch but very good food in general. Room looked old, specially the bathroom. They would need to take care of that. Overall a very nice hotel with friendly staff, good amenities, beautiful infrastructure and a great view of the volcano.

The reception is supposed to be 24 hours but they don’t answer you if you call them on What’s app. The staff also doesn’t take into consideration noise complaints. The room next to us had a squeaky pipe sound that was happening for 2 days. I brought the issue up on What’s app but I got ignored. I had to go in person to the reception to talk about it. They still ignored me and didn’t take care of the issue. I didn’t sleep well for two nights because of this. The reception staff also said something to her coworker about me in Spanish while I was standing in front of her. I felt uncomfortable knowing that they are talking about me rudely.

Due to flight cancellations and delays we were physically unable to make it to the resort for our two night stay. Originally, when our flight was canceled and postponed to the next day, the resort agreed to refund our night upon checkout from our second night’s stay. However, when we were delayed yet again and unable to make it into a city until 4 AM the following morning, the resort refused to refund ANYTHING! Stuck in the United States with no way of getting there due to airline travel, they were unaccommodating and not sympathetic in the least. We intend to travel back to the area next winter but will most certainly pick somewhere else to stay. If you are traveling from outside the country and could possibly face travel delays, DO NOT BOOK HERE!

This is our second time staying at arenal paraiso. It is right in the middle between fortuna and arenal, great location. For the price you cannot beat the property with hot springs, individual cabins and free breakfast. The restaurant is ok…but there are amazing food options convenient nearby.
