The room had a slight musty smell (we were during the rainy season). Birds make a lot of noise during the night , includibg knocking on the roof. Would advise to bring earplugs for better sleep.

Exceptional view of the Arenal lake with really nice suite , very big and comfortable. Breakfast was amazing, maybe the best we had in this area. Stopping for one night on our way to Monteverde was the best decision we made, had amazing time here with unique bird watching.

Just a bit of a drive to the sights surrounding Arenal.

The breakfast was one of the best we've had a hotel. Super fresh and made by the owners.

Nothing, we really loved it.

Absolutely stunning. Not sure you could ever get board of the view. Every room has it own private views from the hillside downs and over the lake. Food is fantastic. A bar/pub within walking distance. We had a car with us so drove to the places we wanted to visit and never had to drive that far. Room at clean and comfy beds.

Rain water gutter exposed. This is only for architectural buffs, doesn’t bother you & it works but with such exceptional detail in architecture this could deserve an enhancement. Share your ideas !

Minimalist design with attention to detail. The cottages are uniquely positioned to provide amazing views. The patios, windows & even the bed height, mirror in bathroom is designed with sight line to the lake. The steel, glass & concrete come along very well in a composition designed for the landscape. The restaurant patio opens to views with exceptional breakfast served all home made. Can’t wait for wellness expansion plans to finish in the main house uphill. Truly an architectural experience to have !

No AC , you won’t need it most of the days as the hotel is up on mountain and the room has great cross ventilation but it might bother on some humid days.

Amazing experience, very nice view and room ambiance, great for anyone who wants to relax. Great food , amazing staff. Very personalized care is given to you. Won’t get it in many places.

Enjoyed everything about our stay at Hotel Laguna Arenal. The rooms are modern and elegant, great showers and beds, and the most amazing private terrace with a breathtaking view on the Lake Arenal. Great photography opportunities for bird lovers! Anna is an excellent host, very caring and flexible, communicates very clearly (also in the Dutch language). She serves very tasty breakfast and dinner! We visited Volcano Arenal walking trails and hot springs from here, the location is perfect to drive to and from those points.

There was nothing I didn’t like. The room didn’t have a TV, but I actually enjoyed the peaceful atmosphere without it. A pool could be a nice addition, but honestly, I didn’t miss it at all.

The breakfast was absolutely excellent – fresh, delicious, and with a great variety of options. The staff was incredibly friendly and welcoming, always making sure we had everything we needed. On top of that, the view was just breathtaking! Everything about our stay was super, and I would highly recommend this place to anyone. Can’t wait to come back!

There was nothing at all that we didn’t like.

We loved the location, so tranquil with beautiful views and nature all around us and just a short walk to the village. The cabaña was very comfortable and Ana a wonderful host. The breakfast and dinner was the best, we were sorry to leave.

It’s 30 min drive to La Fortuna for daily activities But worth the money . Only thing I didn’t like is the offered us new year Eve dinner and charged us 300 for family for 5 No menu so didn’t knew how much was price They should have told us before hand .

Breathtaking views . I will recommend to anyone for the views

Heavenly escape. Exceptional service; Ana Milena and Bastian are very welcoming and friendly, attentive to every detail. They offered great suggestions on activities and were very open and generous; fantastic recommendations. Breakfast is scrumptious; every item made from scratch, plentiful and delicious. The rooms are comfortable and offer a killer view of the lake. The entire hotel is La peaceful retreat. There are a couple of restaurants near by and La Fortuna (nearest town) is half an hour away.

Nothing!

We are a family of five and had the most wonderful stay at the hotel. Each room has a balcony with the most extraordinary view of the lake and natural jungle; every morning we relaxed outdoors with fresh coffee as local birds visited. The owners were incredibly gracious and poured their passion for their hotel into their service and accommodations. We spent Christmas evening at the hotel, and they orchestrated a delicious meal and live music in the setting of a lively forest - it was truly magical.

Wow!!!! The location, view, and comfort of the rooms were outstanding, and I want to thank our host for all her efforts in making our stay a memorable experience. This is a place where I would love to stay again, even for a longer period. We found it difficult to leave.

The individual bungalows were wonderful, clean and had good space. The views of the lake were spectacular and the sounds of the forest around us were a joy to wake up to. The daily breakfasts were delicious and the staff and owners of the property were friendly and helpful.

Parking space could be a bit small if all cabins are occupied, is just sufficient if everyone parks properly.

Wonderful, clean and modern looking cabins with a beautiful view overlooking Arenal Lake. big and comfortable bed, large and well functioning shower and very good and optimal use of space in the cabin. We were greeted every morning by some birds on top of our cabin, and could see and hear all kinds of wildlife from the deck overlooking the lake. Special mention for the lovely cats running around the property and coming to greet us! The hotel staff provided special vegan options for breakfast every morning, which were absolutely lovely and tasty, and which was well above our expectations. Also a big thank you for allowing us to check in at a very late time at night and staying up late especially to accomodate us, very much appreciated! Driving distance from La Fortuna and many surrounding activities and touristic locations, the cabins are located outside of the touristic area in a beautiful and quiet place.

The views are incredible! Although we only had dinner one night I wish we would have eaten every night at the property, it was the best value and the best tasting food around Arenal- breakfast each morning was also amazing. We also loved how attentive the cleaning staff was, every afternoon we returned ‘home’ to a tidy room with fresh towels.

A hidden gem … if I am in the area again we will for sure stay there again. The room was modern, clean, and comfortable. Also might have been the best breakfast I had all trip and we stayed at some nice places. Dining with that view was sublime

Bastien and Anna and the girls are amazing! Very welcoming and friendly. The rooms are absolutely amazing. The breakfasts each day were something we looked forward to! They were delicious. The view is amazing overlooking the lake.
