Reviews of Hotel La Pradera del Arenal 3 stars

Magnificent view from the room, great location, close to the restaurants, National Park and supermarket. Complimentary breakfast is good. Stuff is very friendly. The pool and Jacuzzi is great, there is a bar right there to get a drink. Rooms are very spacious and clean.

We were during the May, low season not too many people, and one day they forgot to open for breakfast, but after we reminded them that we are still here, they prepared it for us.

Loved the location

Breakfast was just ok

The room was a good size and in an ideal location for La Fortuna and surrounding places can walk into town and to shops easy. View of Arenal volcano was lovely. Staff were really friendly and there was plenty of parking. We didn't end up having breakfast as was out super early on both days but another guest we chatted to said it was nice. Wifi was good. Bed was comfy and room was clean.

We didn't stay for the 3rd night we booked. After 2 nights not sleeping well due to other guests partying and being loud we decided to move on to another hotel. Our trip was probably badly planned with spring break and we were unfortunately surrounded by groups. There was an internal door to another room that we could also hear everything through.

I loved the convenience of everything close, Safe, the pools. The VIEW of the Volcano from my Room and pool, breathtaking

I Loved Everything!!

All the staff were attentive but Melanie was exceptional. Even being unwell she always had a smile on her face and went nice and beyond.

Close to everything at a reasonable price. Nice pool and decent food

Excellent location. Great staff. Will return for sure

Quaint and clean

Close to all attractions

Too noisy, too close to the main road

location. staff

need better bartenders. Margarita&Pina Colada. no good no

I don’t usually write a review for a place unless it was either extremely good or extremely bad. And even though I rated it as pretty good with the questions that Booking.com asked, nevertheless I can’t say that it was either good or bad. We took one of the bungalows at the back of the property, which I highly recommend. They are very large and very comfortable.The regular rooms are too close to the noise of the restaurant and too close to the street. We could occasionally hear the noise from the road, which is why we took the room at the back of the property. I would never say not to stay here. It was good enough. We just had higher expectations.

It bills itself as a thermal spa hotel. But the warmest pool was just warm, not hot. That was a major reason for us to go. We like Hot Springs, so we were disappointed. And the music from the restaurant, which is right next to the pools, was annoying if you just wanted to relax. Even if it was music I liked, I wouldn’t want to listen to it. The breakfast in the restaurant was just OK. The breakfast coffee was weak. As I already said, take a bungalow at the back of the hotel. They are really nice and have lots of space.

Amazing view of the volcano from out room. Clean spacious room, very nice pool area with restaurant and bar. Walking distance to some local restaurants. 2 min drive from town center. Friendly staff!

Food was really good

The hotel was in disrepair rain coming in the bathroom

Views from the room , the cleanliness and staff were all good

Our bed was too hard. We could here the people in next room. At 11:00 pm and at 6: am

Friendly and responsive staff, clean, adequate breakfast

To start with, the town tends to be heavily cloudy often. This means that there is a high chance you will not see the volcano in your stay. The hotel is right on the side of the main road, which makes the rooms quite noisy. We could hear all the cars pass by from our bedroom. The entrance is tacky and barely works as a facade to the open space behind. The whole thing feels like you just stopped by on the side of the road with your car to get lunch before hitting the road again. The pools are too close to the restaurant and are not very inviting. Also this is the first place we’ve stayed in Costa Rica with inflated pictures. Both view & angle-wise they deflect the truth. Not nice as it only causes disappointment. With the note about the volcano being in clouds, so without the view, the value for money is quite bad as the hotel is located a little outside of La Fortuna. There are hotels for the same price or better downtown, minus the view, which is a gamble for this town anyway. I recommend not to make that your #1 criteria like me.

Spacious set up and room Good breakfast Jacuzzis and pool Friendly staff View on the volcano Close to the center

Location was great. Great view of the volcano. Bungalows were comfortable and clean.

Hot tub, and the staff

Disgusting rooms, old creaking furniture, ABSOLUTELY ZERO sound blocking (like sleeping next to the highway on a mattress), located next to the busiest highway which the window is facing, poor breakfast choice.

Clean, pool and jacuzzi, good TV, hot water and AC.

All was good
