Hotel Arenal Lodge

The hotel was amazing along with the staff. The grounds and views were beautiful! An authentic beautiful place. The view from our junior suite was the best I’ve seen in Costa Rica. And the massages in the spa were fantastic.

My family love the hotel, thank you guys!

The lodge itself is beautifully placed amidst the cloud forests of Arenal. Lovely views from the top and all over the well maintained property. Very pristine and spiritual feeling. Staff was very courteous and welcoming, the restaurant has great views over their infinite pool. Even though we only had one night stay, a walk around the whole property gave a very good feeling of being in a forest. If you want great views from the top of the mountain choose Chalet rooms, we had a family room which was two bedrooms setup and living room. I would have given 5 star, it’s an 4 star only because of the access road which could be better maintained and paved, it will make it so much easier to reach there. But then many roads in Costa Rica are known for giving you the CR massage and the country is going thru a huge construction boom. Overall great stay !

Very unique one of a kind hotel. Great to see a family run business with actual members working daily to make it a sucesss. The view of the volcano and surrounding natural beauty is unmatched.

The place was a dream vacation for my kid who loves nature. The nature trails were so family friendly.

Pros: The staff was excellent and the view was incredible. The property grounds was also very beautiful and there are 2 beautiful, short hiking trails located on the property. My room was big, extremely clean, and had a gorgeous view. The hotel was close to Arenal. Cons: The wifi was terrible and completely unreliable. The food was mediocre at best (if you're a vegan there is VERY little for you here). There is no sound proofing in the rooms and the family next to me was very loud starting at 6am. La Fortuna center is about 25 minutes away (where most restaurants are). Would I stay again? Probably not because of the unstable wifi. If you don't need wifi and have a renral car, I would stay again.

My wife and I came here for the first few days of our honeymoon and had a fantastic time! BEAUTIFUL VIEWS. Great food! Free breakfast, nice walks, jacuzzi, and much much more! You get way more than what you pay for here! Highly recommend for any couples or families!!
