We recently stayed at Arenal Hotel Inn and have mixed feelings about this place. We chose this hotel as they offered a room that can sleep 5 (3kids). The inn is set in a large lush garden setting. The staff were friendly and the grounds and rooms were clean. The large pool was a hit with the kids. A breakfast buffet is included and everyone was satisfied. Arenal Hotel Inn is an 8 min walk to the town. There are several restaurants closer by. El Sato Rope swing is a 5 min walk from the hotel. The beds were uncomfortable and squeaked loudly with every turn, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately our room (25) was nestled between 2 others rooms. The walls between the rooms are thin and we could hear our neighbours talking. Additionally, the doors to the bathroom squeaked loudly, adding to the overall noise. There are standalone bungalows on the property I’m sure they would be better from a noise perspective.

This hotel was unlike any hotel I have stayed in the past. There are so many positives. Nothing is all good. I was allowed to check in early which was wonderful. Staff was welcoming on arrival. I booked through **********. I was asked about my welcome drink and massage discount. I don't know if this was a mistake on the booking website. Never had this happen before. There isn't an elevator on the second floor. The rooms use traditional keys. The safe uses a key too. The room is spacious with a nice balcony. There is a refrigerator and a small coffee maker. The wifi in the room is spooky. It usually works on the balcony. There is a nice trail at the hotel. There is a nice pool and spa. The breakfast opens at 7 am. Some activities pick you up by 7. The breakfast has a lot of choices. There is an omelette bar. For the most part, I didn't really like the breakfast. It's about a 10 minute walk to other stores or restaurants. It isn't far but there isn't a sidewalk. I didn't care for the food in the restaurant ( it's usually empty). Plan accordingly. The bed is comfortable. You are surrounded by beautiful nature. You wake up to chirping. It is serene. The housekeepers make animals out of your towels. I have only seen that on cruises. That was a plus. The front desk will help you with tours. I had a tour I booked cancel last minute. They called and got me set up for another tour. This hotel is really unlike any hotel I have ever stayed in. I am glad I came. No place is perfect.

Hotel located close to La Fortuna Waterfall and the trail to Cerro Chatota (lake where once was the crater of a volcano). Excellent option for those who want to go on the trail, as non-guests need to pay a fee of 15 dollars to enter the property (the trail starts within the hotel grounds). The trail is not for everyone, the difficulty level is high. Old but functional rooms. Friendly and helpful staff.

Great hospitality, cool property, with lots of fun areas and a coworking space for the digital nomads. Monica at the tours desk was really helpful- if you have no clue what you want to do when you arrive, she will help you find and book all the tours for you. All the tours that I booked with the hostel and were very well guided.

Thank you to the hotel front desk for patiently helping us book bus tickets.

I arrived at night so had no idea of the paradise. I had entered into... in the morning. I was knocked out by the view of the Volcano, the beautifully kept gardens. The staff are lovely and friendly. The breakfast is freshly cooked and very tasty. I discovered a sloth nature trail. about 2 minutes walk from the hotel which I thoroughly recommend and also the Restaurante Rodriguez a couple of minutes walk up towards the downtown area.

I loved this hotel in which we stayed as a family for seven days. The views are breathtakingly beautiful (website photos don't do it justice at all) and everything is just so easy because of the exceptional help of the hotel staff who will take care of anything you could possibly need. The tours organized in partnership with this hotel are extraordinary and we did almost all of them. The beauty of the place and the accommodations (living and service) were exemplary. To testify further, when I left, it seems I had forgotten my laptop, and before I had even realized this and fallen into complete panic, the hotel staff contacted me through what's app to make arrangements to currier it to me in the hotel in San Jose we would be staying in the night before we catch our flight back to Canada. Thank you Jocy for saving me! I would have been lost without my laptop and you and the entire staff were truly exceptional. This place is spectacular. Don't miss it.
