Even though there are dozens of hotels in the Arenal Volcano area, Arenal Volcano Inn was a unique experience to me. It’s a small and cozy hotel with great location – great views to the volcano and close to the most interesting and beautiful spots in the area. One of the things I liked most about this hotel, apart from... more

This small hotel has cabanas with a lovely view of Arenal volcano. Each has a front porch area that faces the volcano, so I could get up early and watch the birds and volcano with my binos until the clouds moved to give me a view of the top. It was very quiet and peaceful with beautiful gardens all around.... more

With so many options in the area we weren't sure where to book a room. The Volcano Inn turned out to be a great choice. Our room was really a very large stand-alone cabin which was clean, nicely designed and set back from the road so it was quiet. The pool area is very nice and the restaurant serves decent,... more

There is so much hype about hotel rooms having a view to the Arenal Volcano. Most of the time it's covered in a thick haze so don't pick a room or hotel based on that. Every place will advertise they have great views. This hotel has separate casitas and winding paths. We were near the end and glad we didn't... more

My wife & I stayed at the Arenal Volcano Inn in November, 2009. We were very pleased. The grounds are immaculate. Our room (#9) was wonderful, with a huge picture window giving a panoramic view of the volcano. The staff, especially at the front desk, were tremendous at giving us advice on what to doo and see- without pushing any... more

The staff is great, very friendly. The room was comfortable with a very comfortable and nice bed, Jacuzzi and a breathtaking view to the Arenal Vulcan. We diced to have a massage in the SPA and the experience was the best in my life. The couple massage was great. In the afternoon I saw around 10 monkeys playing around over... more

I went to Costa Rica for dental work. After 6 days at a surgery retreat, I needed to getaway to see some wildlife. I booked an overnight trip through Expediciones Tropicales. They arranged for a bus to pick me up at my hotel, then we picked up 7 other people at various places. After a brief stop at Sarchi, we... more

I traveled up to Arenal with a small tour group -- Expediciones Tropicales. We had lunch at the Arenal Volcano Inn -- a very good buffet -- and then spent three hours at the hot springs. Most of the group went back to San Jose but I and a few other lucky ones had chosen to stay overnight at the... more

I stayed the night at the Inn as part of a package tour. I had a room to myself with all the amenities. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was included as part of my package with Expediciones Tropicales. The tour included a visit to the Tabacon spa and a night visit to the Arenal Volcano. Unfortunately,... more
