Such an amazing hotel! The variety of pools and natural springs are so fun. Clean and spacious rooms. The breakfast buffet is awesome! We saw so much wildlife right on the property- coati, toucan, lizards and frogs.

Excellent property. We saw so much wildlife just from within the property - Iguanas, sloths and so many varieties of birds. Room amenities could be better. In room furniture could be better - More hooks to hang clothes, more seating etc. Otherwise, a great resort to stay. Lots of hot spring pool ...

We had a great time Ecoglide Arenal. There were lots of lines and some of the longest we had been on. Got to see lots of the area. We also went to TermoArenal and these hot spring were great and they were not crowded like some of the bigger ones

5/5 - Excellent

Very friendly people. Enjoyed a Spanish Catholic mass downtown. Nice downtown park.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

driving in this area is very scary & dangerous, but the rainforest is beautiful; was just a little disappointed because I came for the volcano, but you can't really get close to it, so if you're like me, & you just want to see a volcano, go elsewhere

5/5 - Excellent

Did the sky adventures zip line and hanging bridges home, hiked arenal volcano park, went horseback riding at Mistico park
