We have just returned from two weeks at La Mansion. The staff, location, views, birds, and proximity to excursions/ adventures were perfect. We couldn't recommend this beautiful hotel more highly. The staff were friendly and went out of their way to make us all feel at home. Our teenagers found lots to do and can't wait to go back. The... More

Last minute our original rental was without power, and the property manager scrambled to find us suitable lodging for our 10 person party. We ended up at La Mansion, which was 10 times better than we had originally planned on. Upgraded from a 5 bedroom house for 9 adults, to 4 beautiful cottages fitted with a king and separate bedroom... More

Everything about this hotel was amazing: the view, the staff, the value, the wildlife, the location, the cottage, etc... You cannot go wrong; we got a special (stay 2 nights and get the third free), with secure parking, a gorgeous cottage, and free breakfast. This place was the highlight of our trip.

Everyone has raved about this special place and offered advice about car rentals etc, so what more can I add? I offer some context to my review so you can compare your situation with ours. My mom and I picked La Mansion as our "base of operations" for our week in Costa Rica. This was my second trip in two... More

Nicely situated mid way along the Lake Arenal road, this hotel has wonderful views over the lake. It is tranquil and well away from the tacky tourist locations nearer the volcano. You can't see the volcano, but since it's in cloud most of the time, who cares? More importantly, the location is sheltered from the howling winds that scour Lake... More

Our family also started our trip in Arenal, and La Mansion Inn was an ideal choice. The cottages are not like any other hotel room - they are small cottages with a Spanish decor and an outdoor private patio looking over the lake. We arrived at night, and woke up to the beauty of hills rolling down to the lake... More

We loved this hotel. The owner and staff were very accommodating and friendly. Our one year old son was "adopted' by the wait staff and given regular tours of the kitchen. We also enjoyed the pools. Our room was very comfortable with a private terrace with a nice view of the lake. But don't stay here if you want Four... More

We started our trip in Arenal, staying at La Mansion Inn. What a way to begin a terrific vacation! The setting is spectacular and our cottage was wonderful. We ate all of our dinners at the restaurant, and the food was fabulous - the best we had in Costa Rica. The owner was friendly and so helpful -- he arranged... More

We stayed here for 4 nights on the recommendation of a friend. This is a fabulous value for the money. Each room is an individual cottage with balcony overlooking the lake, with fridge and coffee maker. The position of the cabins makes it so that you do not see anyone else, just an amazing view of the lake with horses... More
