Pics online are minimum 10 years old. Room sizes are not accurate either. All rooms are way smaller than advertised. We stayed in a one bedroom suite that was supposed to be 1000 square feet. Barely 400. Think state park cabin. Not suite. It was very private and other that typical tropics rust in stuff the room worked. The whole resort is very run down though

The hotel is conveniently located near La Fortuna Waterfall, making it a great choice if you want to stay close to this popular attraction. Breakfast is decent, but don’t expect a large variety — you may need to pay extra for additional items like eggs. If you enjoy being surrounded by nature, this is a wonderful place to explore; however, if that’s not your preference, you might want to consider other options. We stayed in a room for three people but were only provided with two towels, and the staff was noticeably unfriendly upon our late arrival. There was no bottled water, coffee, or other basic amenities in the room, and the toiletries (shampoo, soap, etc.) had an unpleasant smell. Additionally, the property has high humidity levels, so keep that in mind when planning your stay.

We stayed in the private villa, which is gorgeous and is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. But, by virtue of coming to this part of CR, you’re in the rainforest and the house has glass doors and a cabin feel so there are and will be largely harmless creatures finding there way in. It was fine for us—2 families with a total of 4 kids—but if you’re squeamish and don’t like a little nature inside, stay somewhere else! Otherwise, this place was amazing and is right off the El Chato hike (which is tough but incredibly rewarding).

The staf was very friendly and helpful. The villa we stayed in was a climb, which I was not expecting. We are great full that we did not get one that was higher. It appeared that would have required the assistance of a mountain goat. Lol Seriously, it would have been too difficult fir us to access. The room was roomy and open. It is in need of cleaning and paint. The deck is small with two chairs, and not room enough to move them for a better view or to sit together. The doors require a key on both sides. So, leave the key in the lock in your room, incase of an emergency and won't need to be searching for the key to get out.

Clean, breakfast was good, staff very friendly and eager to assist. Working hard to improve the grounds. Excellent for the price range. not the Hilton, nor the price, so very good for the price range. Need a vehicle if you wish to go to town as too far to walk. La Fortuna is a great place to visit, lots to do and many restaurant choices in town..12 min drive. Nice pool area, hiking and waterfalls at your door step.

Arenal Waterfall Lounge is close to many restaurants but you need a car or uber to get to many of them. The hotel is near the waterfall and very convenient of that is something you want to see. The property was clean, the breakfast good, and as some others have mentioned it is in need of some upgrades and renovations. Overall, the stay was adequate.

Nice quiet place to stay and relax. Mostly see people only during the breakfast. All 3 days we enjoed the pool by ourselves. Meaning if you do not want just relax and watch wild life there is nothing to do. Bar/Restorant is closed, only serves limited breakfast

This was a more rustic property, not updated at all. The rooms were barebones and the water pressure spotty. The pool was in disrepair in areas, but clean. The breakfast service was great. Nothing to do in the area and we needed to drive to anything we needed to do. Overall it was just fine for a few days.

The view from the pool overlooking a rain forest valley was fantastic. Breakfast includes 3 options with very small serving sizes. The food was good, just not enough. We purchased additional eggs for $1 each to make due. The rooms are much better in the photos. If you like to watch TV prior to going to sleep, bring your own, the rooms do not include TVs. We were there celebrating our anniversary and the walls are paper thin. We could hear quiet conversations in the adjoining rooms and hallway. And the bed was the loudest, squeakiest bed I have ever slept on. This did not improve our marital status. Also, room cleaning is not standard and must be requested 24hrs in advance. We would get new towels as needed by going to the front desk and seeing if anyone was there to get us new one. 50/50 if the desk was manned. Overarching, the property needs a major overhaul to be competitive in todays market. I would give the location 4 stars, the food 3 stars, the facilities 1 star, and the staff 1-2 stars.
