This hotel offers a lot of activities either on site or that you can book through the hotel, including zip lines and canopy tour, as well as rafting, horseback riding, etc. They have hot springs in a series of pools. At night these are not well lit, which is nice for privacy but can be disconcerting if you care to... more

The 2 person cabins were a steal and the perfect location to view and experience the volcano. The hot springs were a perfect place to relax. We also did the Wildlife Refugee Tour offered through the resort and had a wonderful time. I would recommend this Hotel to any person traveling through this area. more

I'm not generally a resort dweller but decided to stay here on a recommendation of a friend. Although the price was reasonable affordable for a resort, I've stayed in many cheaper places that had far more charm. The cabins are cookie-cutter and the restaurant was nothing special. We enjoyed the hot springs and the wet bar- those are what we... more

Hotel has fantastic views, own canopy tour (book this FOR SURE, highlight of my trip!) AND hot springs on site. Hot springs are warm, but not "hot tub" warm. More like bathwater temp. Swim up bar in one. Great gift shop, hearty breakfast buffet. Some rooms have own parking space for those renting a car. (We changed rooms to get... more

I went with my husband and our best friends in June of 08. We shared a cabin. The price was very resonable for the amazing views. The rooms were very clean and surrounded by beautiful gardens.The food was great, especially the breakfast buffet. The restaurant at the hotel is a bit pricy, so we took a taxi to town for... more

We had 3 standard rooms booked at Arenal Paraiso for 2 nights. We chose this hotel based on location, low price, and the 2 for 1 zip-lining offer. Two rooms had broken air-conditioners and it was a hot day making them very stuffy. We walked back to the front desk to change rooms and were told they only had 1... more

My wife and I stayed here as part of a Kuoni tour. This is a big hotel with lots of rooms. It faces the mountain but sadly the cloud never lifted for the 2 days we were there so we didn't see the volcano from our hotel. Other sides of the volcano were clear but not this side. The hotel... more

I was pleasantly surprised with this lodge. I had read a fair share of reviews before booking and most were positive but more than a handful of negative reviews were thrown in the mix giving me a slightly uneasy feeling. However, I decided to book this lodge because 1. It was one of the cheapest (for what I was looking... more

Lovely location at the bottom of the Arenal volcano. However, wheather should not be cloudy. Better stay there for 2 days (luckily we did) to be sure to see the top of the Volcano. It is a pity that the lava flows turned the other way, but only a 30 min drive to the famous bridge where everyone goes to... more
