Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"Jocelyn and Diego were the best part. The front desk was welcoming and informative. The bed was very comfortable and the bathroom had nice lotion."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

8/10 Good

"Wonderful hot springs. Exceeded my expectations. And that view?? Unforgettable. Breakfast was FABULOUS. The only thing is that I could hear my neighbors pretty clearly and the excursions were pricyy (but I think still worth getting because they were easily accessible and so fun!). Overall, a great stay!"

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"There's not another Resort that can top this one, if so please tell me. Everything was top notch. I only have 1 thing I would encourage staff to change and its so minor that I am embarrassed to say it.. but please make the oatmeal with milk instead of water. Other than that everything was beyond perfection."

We received two rooms apartment (like two entire flats one on top of the other, with 2 bathrooms, which was very convenient with two teenagers) - which was very fine furnished, cosy, clean, and maintained. From our balconies we could watch the birds and so many cute Caoties. Breakfast was delicious, as well as lunch and dinner that we have decided to have in the hotel. Chef is excellent!! Very nice and welcoming staff. We really enjoyed staying at the hotel. Very recommended"

Arenal Paraíso Resort & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs
