Top Cantón San Carlos Hotel Reviews

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

8/10 Good

"The property was nice, it is large with a decent walk to reception front area. I liked the property and the room. The pool and the different hot spring pools were also very nice. Price wise I thought the nightly rate was pretty reasonable. Which included a good breakfast buffet. The food at the hotel was pretty good but I felt was over priced. The staff was good but not exceptional. I would say better than average staff but below top tier 5 start hotels. Their food and drink prices were priced at 5 star rate although did not have the service to that standard. Overall was a nice property and had a great stay."

Hotel Mountain Paradise

10/10 Excellent

"Our stay at Hotel Mountain Paradise in La Fortuna was absolutely perfect from beginning to end. We stayed in a gorgeous room with a private pool and breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano. Waking up every morning to that incredible scenery felt like a dream. The entire property is beautifully maintained, peaceful, and surrounded by nature. One of our favorite features was the heated pool with a swim-up bar — truly a hidden gem and the perfect place to relax after a day of exploring. The food was outstanding, the restaurant exceeded our expectations, and every meal was delicious. Most importantly, the service was exceptional. Every staff member was friendly, professional, and genuinely committed to making our stay memorable. We loved every second of our time here and couldn't have asked for a better experience. I would 100% recommend Hotel Mountain Paradise to anyone visiting La Fortuna, and we will definitely be coming back. Thank you for making our Costa Rica vacation so special!"

Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center

10/10 Excellent

"Magic Mountain es un sitio que hace gala de su nombre. El hotel está limpio y las vistas al volcán desde nuestra habitación fueron espectaculares. Recomiendo segundo edificio más que el primero por vistas. El personal muy atento y el servicio del restaurante es increíble. Maravillosa experiencia."
