Top Zapotal Hotel Reviews

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"This place was so beautiful and peaceful! We went during rainy season and it was still soo pleasant! The greenery around the hotel was beautiful! We also felt very safe because they didn’t just let anyone come in after hours. It’s very peaceful walking around! The breakfast from the menu was the best! The buffet breakfast is okay. The staff was very helpful also and it was very clean! We have a great view of the volcano (when it decided to reveal itself) from our room"

Natural Green Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"It was a great time."

Koora Hotel by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful experience, hotel was clean and unique surroundings, people were nice and helpful."

Arenal Waterfall Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"This place was amazing. The room was beautiful as were the views and the scenery! We even got the chance to see a sloth right outside of our balcony!! The staff were very friendly and accommodating and the free breakfast at Gecko’s every morning was a delicious bonus!!"

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely amazing property. Such nice staff and everything was so clean and tidy. I really like that. There were multiple hot tubs instead of just one big hot tub, and the spa was really nice! I definitely suggest going in the off-season, it was quiet and very calm!"

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"Very clean"

Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

8/10 Good

"We had a great stay at Valle Escondido. Our room was very clean and the view was great. We got to see a lot of wildlife right by the building we were in because the resort was less busy in the rainy season, and we got lucky with the weather. We really enjoyed our night hike on the trails on the property - only wish it were longer! Overall, a great stay. Food was good although variety is a bit limited in the off season."

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"We staying in the hotel for my husband birthday, highly recommend!"

Tifakara by the Waterfall
