We arrived on Saturday and although there is no convenient place to park, we were able to check in very quickly, were easily directed to our room (cabin) and had several detailed questions answered quickly and with excellent information. Our room was quite large, very clean and was decorated daily with folded towel animals and designs. There is both a... more

My husband, then my boyfriend, and I stayed at Arenal Paraiso in May 2008 for two nights and really enjoyed our stay. Our cabin was spacious, clean, and quite comfortable. Housekeeping was excellent and always left our new towels shaped like various animals and shapes (elephants, swans, hearts). The flowers growing on the grounds are beautiful; we always enjoyed our... more

From the moment you come into the hotel, the staff is very inviting, welcoming and willing to help. This was our first of a three city stay and i think it was the best service out of the other hotels. The free breakfast was also wondeful. The first night we got in we had the night hot springs tour in... more
