  • Arenal Xilopalo Review score: 9

  • Hotel Pibi Boreal Review score: 10

    “Simple, clean, tidy. Beautiful grounds with lots of birds and wild life. Mathieu and Nidia are perfect hosts and made it very easy for us at both end of our trip! Fabulous breakfast of croissants, toast and lovely fruit with a view ❤️”

  • Argdivan Hostel Review score: 10

    “The guy at the reception was very kind and helpful, he gave us useful tips how to make the best time out of our stay in La Fortuna.”

  • “Comfortable hotel right next to the airport for an early flight. The beds are comfy and it was nice to have access to the pool and garden. The free airport shuttle runs every few minutes, driver was very friendly.”

  • “The breakfast buffet was amazing. The fruits were fresh and delicious. The main entries were different each day so lots of varieties. You could have made to order omelettes. Thankful for the shuttle bus to take us to our room. They were fast. The resort is huge. Lots of thermal pools to enjoy. The Tabacon natural hot springs river is lovely to go to as well.”

  • Villa San Ignacio Review score: 8

    “Food the garden walk and staff were all good”

  • Arenal Monara Review score: 9

    “Loved our stay, the host are really lovely and the room was absolutely great. The little kitchen and the sofa located outside the balcony were great to a spot to make a cup of tea/coffee and chilled after a long day tour. The facilities were great and cleaned, everything was great. This is best place we had been come across since we landed in Costa Rica. I would highly recommended if you are going to La Fortuna for few nights.”

  • Alpha Arenal Hostel Review score: 9

    “Really friendly hostel in a fantastic location. They help organise tours and the emphasis is on providing you with affordable activities. The kitchen facilities are fantastic, and there are tables outside and hammocks to chill out in. Everyone I met at the hostel was very friendly too - it's a great place to meet people.”

  • Arenal Poshpacker Review score: 9
