Reviews of Hotel Roca Negra Del Arenal

Very spacious and clean room with great outdoor deck to sit on, surrounded by beautiful gardens. Great pool. Great local restaurant across the road.

We loved sitting in front of our accommodation with on rocking chairs with a view of the volcano. It rained a bit, but we were well entertained by the common areas, including the pool table and table tennis. Paola and Elizabeth from reception were very kind, helpful and informative.

Beautiful, lush, green property with a pretty pool/jacuzzi, great breakfast area, and lovely room!

Loved the staff and the room was great!

It is a gorgeous property in walking distance to great restaurants very nearby and town not too far away. The pool, hot tub, and game area were a hit for our family. Coffee all day, very friendly and helpful staff.

Pay for breakfast.

Very friendly staff, helps in any regards. Room, location, scenery great.

Service and environment. Nice nature around

Nothing I noticed

Personnel was very welcoming, the pool area qas great, also to play with other kids while the parents sat in the jacuzzi ;) nice relaxing garden surroundings, lots of birds passing by (not only chickens and goose). location is very central, could drive to la fortuna easily to have dinner.

Beautiful grounds and accommodation. We (2 adults and 2 children) were in room 16, furthest away from the gate, and it looked very new, modern and was very spacious. Sitting on the rocking chairs and hammock on the veranda, watching the birds (especially the humming birds). Delicious pancakes at breakfast. The games area, which has a pool table, fooseball, table tennis and shuffle board.

The fact that you have to pay by cash. We had to drive into town in a torrential downpour, specifically to get cash out.

Beautiful surroundings. Friendly staff. Lovely breakfast. Great location for visiting places and walk to good places to eat. The chickens, geese , turkey and peacock were interesting and beautiful to observe.

Nothing really just sometimes the lorries were noisy going past but easy location and beautiful gardens and wildlife made up from this.

The property here is beautiful - I truly felt like we were living in the rainforest. There was nothing quite like reading on the patio, listening to the rain come down and watching tropical birds fly in and out of trees. The staff was also amazing - always so willing to help. We also liked the location. It wasn’t walkable to La Fortuna, but it was a 5 minute drive - incredibly easy. Plus, there’s so many attractions within minutes. We never got bored!

I wish the rooms had a bit more storage - for a family, we struggled to find room for all the stuff we had. I’d also love the opportunity to book a 1 or 2 bedroom room. The cabin was beautiful, but we’d love a bit more space.

Flowers, breakfast nook with coffee, bed, a/c, staff

Breakfast (not included) wasn’t very good.

Located very close to a ton of hot springs and hiking. Feels like you’re in the jungle with all the trees and animals around. The game room has ping pong, shuffle board, pool and foos ball which were fun. And the hot tub was great after a long hike.

The hot tub is only heated after 3pm which makes sense since the days are hot but it would have been nice to use in the morning.

Loved having the pool and hot tub and the accomodation was very comfortable and welcoming, a lovely verandah with rocking chairs and hammock to sit out and listen to the birds. We looked forward to getting back after our daily trips out. Really lovely staff.

WiFi was very useful but not the best. But then who needs WiFi when you’re relaxing in Costa Rica!

Great pool for the kids. Rooms were big and beds comfortable.

Nothing

Felt private and less noisy being on the edge of la fortuna suburb, but also very conveniently located by some local sodas and a market. The staff was very friendly. Elisa let us help pick eggs in the chicken coop. Lots of butterflies and hummingbirds and beautiful plants and flowers. Breakfast was extra but cheap and a good value.

Very close to every experience La Fortuna has to offer. Walking distance from restaurants. The property itself is lovely with native plants and animals. The pool and hot tub are great.

No comforters on the bed, which isn’t a big deal because it’s warm outside. No conditioner for hair, also not a big deal.

The room was clean, the porch with the garden and view of the volcano was beautiful. Paula was very kind and helpful. The pool was beautiful and clean. There was lots of outdoor space and it never felt crowded.

It’s a 40 minute walk to the main town. We struggled with the key which frustrated one of the staff. Breakfast was not included.

This was the best place we stayed during our 10-day vacation in Costa Rica. Absolutely beautiful grounds, delicious breakfast, sweet staff, and loved having our own cabana and private patio.
