Pensions in Cantón Tilarán

"Beautiful resort!!!!Beautiful large room, super clean, and the breakfast was great. Everyone at the hotel was wonderful and the resort itself was absolutely fabulous. The only downside was the restaurant dinner — the food was disappointing and quite expensive for the quality. Other than that, everything was perfect and we had a great stay."

"This was the most amazing stay!! The private bungalows were awesome, and the hot springs were wonderful. We loved being immersed in the jungle. the hammock on the deck of the bungalow was nice to be in and listen to all the sounds!! Deffinatly comming back!"

"It was a lovely place that was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tubs and the wet bar. They have a restaurant with live music in the evenings. We loved their buffet style breakfast especially because it slightly changed daily. You’re not stuck eating the same thing everyday. The staff was great, we felt welcomed and they answered all of our questions."

"This location is perfect "

"Our La Fortuna stay included four hotels the springs, nayara, mi amor, and tabacon. Tabacon Resort/room is roughly 4 star. Staff is polite from check in to breakfast, 5 star. The thermal springs are 5 star and phenomenal, best/largest on our trip by far. The access to shangri-la area in the springs, when staying at the hotel, makes it worth it. Also hotel guests are allowed in the hot springs before general public at 8am. Im sure it is a huge bonus during peak season. The food and drinks at the hot springs bar were good. Priced higher than they should be...+tax/service fee/tip...but fresh, well made and suit the atmosphere. Several vegetarian options at shangri-la, all were good. We added breakfast to our stay, there was an extra charge for that through expedia. It was not bad and included an egg station as well as coffee to order, oatmilk. Wish they had a potato morning option instead of plantains both days, local so it makes sense. Shuttle to the hot springs comes to hotel lobby/reception every 5 minutes and very convenient. From our trip there are only two resorts I will certainly revisit, this will be one of them. A must for hot springs, I'm glad we didn't skip it."

"Arenal observatory and lodge is a biodiversity and conservation gem! We saw so many animals and plants while on the property! The accommodations were great and in line with ecotourism. Highly recommend for nature lovers!"

"We had an amazing stay at this hotel and truly enjoyed every moment. The staff were incredibly welcoming, friendly, and attentive throughout our stay. The rooms were clean, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, and the overall atmosphere was relaxing and peaceful. The location was perfect, with easy access to tours, hiking trails, and beautiful jungle parks, making it an excellent place for adventure and nature lovers. The food was excellent, with fresh and delicious options every day. What really stood out was the exceptional customer service — everyone went above and beyond to make us feel comfortable and taken care of. We would absolutely stay here again and highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a memorable and relaxing getaway."

"An absolute gem of a spot! You will not be disappointed with this well managed and beautiful situated inn on Lake Arenal. Quaint yellow cottages with gorgeous views, an infinity pool and hot tub, ancient looking artifacts, fanciful paintings and a welcoming staff make this place unique and relaxing. We added an extra night just to take advantage of the views from our porch and our lovely room. Sunsets are the highlight of the day. Breakfast is included at the restaurant with bar on site. Prices are a little high however the food is very good and the convenience on having it right on site makes it worth it. Desk clerk, Kevin, was congenial and accommodating. Make sure you check out the photo album in the bar which shows how this inn was built and a story of the man who built it. A fascinating feature which will enhance your experience. "

"Clean room, helpful staff an excelent breakfast"
