9. Arenal Roca Lodge

La Fortuna

"The bungalow had a great rustic feel. The view of Arenal Volcano was spectacular out of the large windows in the morning. The property is 9km out of La Fortuna, but it's only 3 or 4 minute's drive from many of the hot springs and about 10 minutes from the restaurant hub in La Fortuna. The staff were very friendly (I've yet to meet a Costa Rican who wasn't) and I would recommend staying here to anyone."

"Great resort! We stayed for 7 nights with the all-inclusive package. The food and drinks were incredible, and ALL staff were lovely and a pleasure to see every day. There was confusion with the all-inclusive package vs. the premium all-inclusive package, that was mis conveyed upon booking. Overall we were very pleased with our booking and stay, but would encourage to check the details of your booking prior to. It gets BRIGHT early in the day, and our room did not have any blackout curtains....

Top Palma Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"We had a great time. Kids had a blast. Facilities and staff were terrific. Breakfast was delicious."

Arenal Paraíso Resort & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs

10/10 Excellent

"This is an amazing property. Beautiful grounds with native plantings, sometimes marked with placards identifying the plant. Hot springs are the best; I had to hottest pool (104F) to myself! Saw exotic birds like caracaras and toucans right there; and an agouti. On the third day the mountain came out from behind the clouds and we were treated to an amazing view of Arenal. A spectacular setting. Just a few ideas to make the hotel even better: Use WD40 on the door hinges so loud squeaking doesn't wake up other guests in the room at night. The white tiles on the front porch are very slippery when wet - you need doormats at the top of the steps. Towel exchange was a bit of a hassle; I would rather have sufficient towels in the room or at the pool. The staff at the lodge are outstanding with the exception of one morning at the gift shop where the clerk was so busy with a personal cell phone call she didn't bother to greet us and wasn't available for questions. Once there were so many tour bus guests that the main dining room was already full for breakfast and the coffee service on "the other side" was non-existent. I had to go fetch someone for a refill. Just small improvements that would make it even better."

The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only

10/10 Excellent

"I had an amazing stay at The Royal Corin in La Fortuna! The hotel was gorgeous, exceptionally clean, and offered some of the most incredible views. The included breakfast was delicious, with a great selection, and the staff were genuinely friendly, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. Everything about the experience was wonderful, from the beautiful property to the hospitality. I couldn't have asked for a better place to stay in La Fortuna. I would absolutely recommend The Royal Corin and would love to come back!"

Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hot Springs

8/10 Good

"Staff made this place feel like heaven! They are the best! The property is beautifully curated. The rooms are gorgeous with sliding doors opening into the lush green vegetation. I could spend the whole day on the bridge over the stream. They have a small waterfall on the property. The complimentary nature hike in the afternoon was informative, engaging and beautiful. Some of us did the night wildlife tour with the same guide, it was excellent! The water slide was so much fun! We had requested sugar cane juice (they grow their own), they made special arrangements to bring it to us. We truly appreciate that. Mucha Gracias! My only gripe - the "hot water springs" are not real. Water in the pool is heated by heating systems there. They are not natural. While they were still relaxing, its not the same. Not to mention the name is quite misleading. Relatedly, the pools could use a good scrubbing. They were grimy and slippery in places. They could do so much better in the food department. We've tried both restaurants on site, they were just ok. We loved their on "Gallo pinto". All the other breakfast options are American, unhealthy and not well made. They are about 30mins drive from Arenal town, so its not exactly convenient to head out for food."
