We liked everything about this hotel except the pool area (kids didn't even ask to go in). The hot spring pools were small, not the least bit inviting, and luke-warm at best. Nice views, nice rooms, nice landscaping and good service. My husband and I had an extra day here, and might have chosen to relax at the hotel, but... More

We spent a weekend here at the beginning of our Costa Rica trip this year. We had a standard room which was a cabin with a great view of the volcano. We were traveling with 2 other couples and it was quite comfortable sitting on the porch on the rocking chairs. Rooms are in need of updating but were clean.... More

We spent 2 nights here. We had our own cabin with a porch and two rocking chairs which had beautiful views of the arenal volcano. The buffet breakfast was excellent. The service was excellent. The rooms and furniture are in need of updating. Nice hot springs and pool.

Stayed here at the end of our trip to Costa Rica. Rooms clean, spacious, but no hooks to hang wet clothing. Resort beautifully landscaped. Hot springs a big plus. If you are looking for a jumping, vibrant time - this isn't the place to go. Very sedate - big time birder paradise. Empty bar / but friendly bartenders. Food pretty... More

When we pulled into Paraiso Arenal we wondered if we were at the wrong place. It looks way more deluxe than our $130 would cover. We were amazed at how pretty and garden-like the grounds are here and the breakfast was the biggest and best of our entire trip. There's several hot spring pools which are great to sit in... More

I just wanted to tell you about my recent trip to Arenal Paraiso resort and spa. We travelled yesterday to this resort. It was raining when we got there but as a canadian I am quite used to rain. We checked into our rooms and the rain persisted. My husband and I were in 271 and friends in 272. We... More

We booked a three night stay in advance. Upon arrival we asked to upgrade to a Superior room as we were told it had a glass enclosed porch. When we saw the room and partially enclosed porch and two rustic wooden chairs to sit on in the room, we decided the extra $40/night was not worth the price and returned... More

The room is really bad for the price. It is clean and spacious, with a really nice view of the volcano, but these are the only good things I have to say about it. There was no hot water in the shower (the hottest we could get was just lukewarm and it was changing to icy cold periodically and I... More

We stayed here for 2 nights during our bus tour. We were plesantly suprised to learn that our room, and most rooms here, are acually a private cabin. The resort is well kept, and fairly large. If the clouds clear, you have a great view of Arenal right from your front porch. The hot springs are really neat too. There... More
