Arenal Volcano Region Hotels

Good volcano view from our cottage, absolutely beautiful grounds, and a wonderful included breakfast. The only negative was small - there was only 1 small pool that could be made more impressive.

Amazing experience! The resort is beautiful and in a great location. The staff are all very friendly and helpful. They upgraded us without us asking to a beautiful (and very large) room. A great little bonus to have after travelling all day to get there. The main restaurant was great too. Very tasty! We Would definitely stay at Arenal Springs again, and would definitely recommend any friends or family to stay there.

It's not a handsome hotel, but the main lobby and eating area is open and pleasant. The breakfasts are good; the best of the group of hotels I stayed at. Not elaborate, but good fresh fruit, good coffee, and a variety of mains. The staff was excellent, the hotel is well located, the rooms are clean and spacious enough, the bathrooms exceptional. This was one of our least expensive hotels, but all 5 of us, in three rooms, liked it very much. Value for money. Sure, not The Savoy, but then, no more is the price. This was an exceptional and well-managed hotel.

Wonderful and lovely highly reccommend very clean lovely views

Kioro is a wonderful place to spend a few days (or more). We enjoyed the lovely gardens, delicious dinners, friendly happy Hour. Best of all is the series of warm, not too hot, pools cascading down a beautifully landscaped hill. Maybe the spa massage was a highlight. We'll return!

We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights, and would say it was overall an excellent experience with very few negatives. We used the hotel's transportation to and from San Jose Airport, which was excellent and without any headaches. The front desk staff was very pleasant for the most part, and we only had one encounter that was unpleasant, although that same individual was fine in our other encounters. Our room was magnificent, with a great design, spacious and comfortable bed, beautiful views of the volcano, two beautiful balconies, and an amazing jacuzzi. The room was spotless for our entire stay. We had some issues with one of the blinds falling down, but the maintenance staff addressed it immediately, and we had no issues afterwards. The only negative experience we had was with the restaurant staff. The included breakfast buffet, while delicious, was marred by the poor attitudes and service provided by the waitstaff. We had to make multiple requests for coffee cups and orange juice, and never seemed to have a coffee spoon at our table. We were never offered refills on our drinks either. I had a waiter look straight at me when I tried to flag him down, stop as if he was going to approach me, and then walk away, never to return. On our last morning, we spent twenty minutes waiting for coffee after requesting it, and then only had 1 cup of coffee brought out for the two of us. If you ignore the service at breakfast, the experience was amazing and I would recommend this hotel.

I am a budget traveler so my expectations on comfort and ameneties are pretty low. The location was great, you can see the volcano from your table at the restaurant while you get your free breakfast. The staff was really nice. They hooked us up with great horseback riding tour. It seemed like many of the hotel guests were from Costa Rica. Negatives: I get the impression thin wall construction is the norm in tropical countries. Any noise outside or in the next room was loud and clear. Some jerk revved his dirt bike outside at midnight or about half an hour one night. That's not really the hotel's fault, though. Aside from that, the hotel, though right on the man road, is in a relatively quiet area.

Friendly staffs, great view to mountain, great breakfast buffet, room is a little bit small.

Within two minutes of arriving at our very private cabin at Lomas we saw two toucans, and a handsome pair of wild turkeys. During our stay we were constantly enthralled by the beautiful and varied wildlife including our first ever hummingbird experience. The hotel is set about one kilometre into the hinterland and seems to sit at the very base of the Arenal Volcano. The grounds are immaculately and beautifully kept; full of haleconias, wild gingers and other exotic (to us) plants. The rooms are lovely. Ours was a simple wooden 'cabin' with a verandah out the front with a bench for admiring the forest and a good sized balcony out the back with a table and chairs from where we could delight in the fireflies at night and the birds, and passing cows, during the day. Breakfast are lovely - lots of the delicious local fruits and plenty of other offerings, Lomas is excellent value for money and we would most definitely stay there again if we ever returned.
