This Lodge sits on a 1000 acre working ranch. The view from our chalet of Mt Arenal was one of the best hotel views we have ever experienced. We were there three days, which seems to be the norm among...

Overall, I would recommend this hotel to others even though it is not close to the main city. The main reason is that it has ample land for horseback riding and one of a kind walking tour that you...

BEST: THE VIEW. We spent the first 3 nights of our Costa Rican vacation at this hotel and loved every minute. We stayed in one of the chalets on top of the hill, which is really a must. The view is...

We stayed 6 days in Costa Rica and decided not to change locations. We booked the Arenal Lodge for those 6 days and have not regreted it for one second. Yes, the road up is a bit bumpy and takes about...

A beautiful, easy 3.5 hour drive from the airport (via San Ramon) on roads that were in great shape. Based on all the reviews we read we tried to upgrade our compact to a small 4-wheel drive, but...

This resort had some of the best views in the area but was far away from the rest of the resorts which made it difficult to eat and see some of the other attractions. In addition, the resort has a...
