Top Lake Arenal Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"El hotel es hermoso y tiene una vista hermosa al volcán Arenal. La comida es riquísima."

Hotel Linda Vista

8/10 Good

"their breakfast is so nice! but it's surprisingly no body wash provided. & no uber driver is willing to come pick up clients. a staff in the hotel introduced a driver to us & USD 85 we paid ( we went out for dinner @walk distance + sent us to another hotel/tour gathering spot + pick us back to hotel linda vista we waited for around 45mins)"

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"The property was absolutely beautiful, Will maintain, and the staff was wonderful! Even though it’s a large resort, it didn’t feel busy because there are so many little areas, walking paths and Hot Springs to escape to. We will definitely be visiting again! Excellent vacation!"

Sangregado Lodge

8/10 Good

"We enjoyed Sangregado Lodge. Upon arrival, we were greeted and offered fresh coconut water, which was a nice touch. The highlight of this lodge is the spectacular view of the Arenal valley. The lodge had very few to no amenities but its location high up in the mountain made it feel more remote and less touristy than the resorts on the main La Fortuna road. The room was spacious and we slept comfortably. The lodge doesn’t have a restaurant so they partnered with the Lost Iguana resort (which is a 3 min drive) so that guests can have breakfast or dinner there. It worked well but if you’re looking for a hotel with amenities and the convenience of a restaurant, this doesn’t provide it. All in all, we enjoyed our stay here and felt the view from the balcony was second to none."

Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We stayed at Tabacón for one night, and it was the perfect way to experience the property. The thermal hot springs are absolutely beautiful and feel very natural, with multiple pools and waterfalls surrounded by lush rainforest. It was peaceful, relaxing, and unlike any other hot springs we’ve visited. The grounds are immaculate, and the staff were warm, welcoming, and attentive throughout our stay. The room was clean, comfortable, and well maintained. My only wish is that we had stayed longer to fully enjoy everything the resort has to offer. If you’re visiting the Arenal area and want a luxury experience immersed in nature, Tabacón is well worth it."

Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Arenal Kioro! I could not have been happier with our choice! The rooms were so nice and spacious, huge windows, comfortable and clean! The view of the volcano and hotel grounds was spectacular. The on site and off site hot springs were beautiful comfortable and everything I hoped for! I only wish our stay was longer to more fully enjoy everything the location had to offer. Every last one of the hotel staff was kind and helpful. I can’t wait to go back!"

Lake Arenal Hotel, Brewery & Farm

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a great stay here! JP and his associates welcomed us and made us feel at home. Complimentary breakfast was great and the other meals were delicious. The room itself was great given you are in the jungle, so there was no a/c and typical sugar ants but nothing unexpected. The pool and the views were gorgeous. The hot tub was down while we were there but it wasn’t missed. We took advantage of the Lake Tour and La Tia’s massage services which were both worth the money. We traveled to La Fortuna and used a shuttle service that picked us up right from the hotel. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!"
