Staying at Hotel Amor Arenal was one of the best experiences of our lives! Upon arriving we were immediately given a warm welcome by the front desk workers Jogebeth and Andrey. Our room was a beautiful wood cabin buried deep in the jungle equipped with large glass panes that give you a stunning view of Arenal Volcano. The amenities such as the personal jacuzzi, large rainfall shower, and laundry service made for a very comfortable stay! Whether you are walking to the resort’s heated pool bar, fitness center, restaurants, or spa, you can expect golf cart ride offers from many of the hotel’s friendly staff such as Wilson, who also delivered sunburn medication to my wife and I when we returned from our beach day trip. For breakfast, we loved going to the main on-site restaurant where we were greeted by hostess Jogebeth and served delicious, fresh food by fantastic waiters Dilan, Leo, Tony, and Carmen. During breakfast, we watched the hummingbirds fly by with the Arenal Volcano in the background. For lunch, the pool bar, tended by expert mixologist Gustavo, was a great place to get an appetizer and drink while enjoying the weather. Come dinner time, we would often go back to the main restaurant and always looked forward to seeing the lovely and bright evening hostess, Dani (Daniela). After our meal, we loved when she showed us the red-eye tree frogs, western tree snakes, and other critters right outside the restaurant. Dani also convinced us to try the exclusive Chef’s Corner experience offered at the hotel. It was a stunning five-course dinner prepared in front of us by the friendly and hilarious Chef Kevin, who gave us insight into the ingredients and preparation of each dish. If it happens to be raining in the morning/afternoon, we highly recommend going to the spa where you can hear the rain echo through the mountainous jungle as you relax with massages from the talented spa staff. Every staff member of the resort always had a smile, was eager to improve our stay, and often punctuated conversation with the phrase “Pura Vida”. P.S. Big thanks to Jensy for answering all of our travel and accommodation questions before we even arrived at the hotel. Thanks and love, Greg and Alyson Petruncio
