My husband and I stayed here for three nights while exploring this area of Costa Rica. We highly recommend La Pradera for its location and its amenities. We have travelled quite a bit, and this place stands out as being exceptionally good.

Found this little gem before we went to Costa Rica. Liked the price and the chance to stay in a small private unit with a view of the volcano. We were not disappointed. The room was perfect with a queen sized bed and a large bathroom. The view from the front porch was spectacular. Needless to say the grounds were... More

We just went to Costa Rica and stayed at this hotel for three nights. We stayed in a large Cabina that was clean and comfortable. It has an AC unit in it which was great and also had it's own water heater so you don't end up taking a cold shower! We also utilized the pool area and used the... More

I really liked these bungalows. They were clean and in a nice location. I was disappointed that the three days we were there the workers were cutting trees down behind our bungalow and they started their days very early. But that shouldn't be a problem anymore since the trees were down when we left. They have a great pool, pool... More

We stayed here for one night on our trip to Costa Rica and loved it. The grounds are maintained to a T and the surroundings were beautiful. Our room was very clean, the restaurant served great food, and the pools and hot tub were a great addition. The only con was the dead mouse in the pool - therefore we... More

Family stayed here a few years ago, and we enjoyed this hotel area. Beautiful views and landscaping, friendly employees, and great prices. We stayed in one of the attached units, not a stand-alone cabin. Memorable place, even after a few years. Would recommend if on a budget.

The view from our bungalow was amazing, the bungalows sit right overlooking the arenal volcano and on a clear day you can take some great pictures. The grounds in this hotel are very well maintained, the personnel is helpful and kind. The breakfast and the food at the restaurant are tasty. Over all, we enjoyed out stay in Arenal and... More

Pros--There was a nice pool with a great view of Arenal volcano. The restaurant was decent with a good included breakfast. Free internet Cons--There was place to store clothes, no drawers and four handers on a rod very close to the sink. The lighting was very poor and it was impossible to read. It is next to a farm and... More

We had booked online and are always interested to see if the hotel lives up to its presentaion and this one definitely did. Cute cabins back behind the main part of the hotel with an awesome view of Arenal. Great gardens with tons of birds. Breakfast included... The rooms come with t.v., a/c and a fridge. The bathrooms are nice,... More
