Staff friendliness inconsistent. Did not seem too happy about handing over a coffee pack for in-room maker. Didn't matter because next day found out there was no outlet for the coffee pot. Not most comfortable stay as far as bedding and bathroom cleanliness but quiet. And had A/C!

My wife and I stayed at Hotel La Pradera for 5 days. The accommodations were booked via Costa Rica Descents (an all-adventure company) as part of a package. We were initially placed in room 39. Each room has a porch with a couple of rocking chairs and table, where you can kick back and enjoy the view of Volcano Arenal.... More

My boyfriend and I stayed here for 2 nights in May 2013. The staff was very friendly, informative and welcoming. The hotel was comfortable, clean and safe. The landscape contained beautiful flowers/ plants and animals, including this fabulous peacock. The view of the Arenal volcano was clear and right in front of our room. The restaurant food was tasting and... More

I traveled to La Fortuna early this month and stayed at La Pradera, a great little hotel in the shadow of Arenal Volcano. The views were spectacular and the gardens around the hotel beautiful. There were flowers everywhere complete with hummingbirds and all sorts of beautifully colored birds. The staff were courteous, the food good and the rooms clean.The volcano... More

My husband and I stayed here for three nights while exploring this area of Costa Rica. We highly recommend La Pradera for its location and its amenities. We have travelled quite a bit, and this place stands out as being exceptionally good.

Found this little gem before we went to Costa Rica. Liked the price and the chance to stay in a small private unit with a view of the volcano. We were not disappointed. The room was perfect with a queen sized bed and a large bathroom. The view from the front porch was spectacular. Needless to say the grounds were... More

We just went to Costa Rica and stayed at this hotel for three nights. We stayed in a large Cabina that was clean and comfortable. It has an AC unit in it which was great and also had it's own water heater so you don't end up taking a cold shower! We also utilized the pool area and used the... More

I really liked these bungalows. They were clean and in a nice location. I was disappointed that the three days we were there the workers were cutting trees down behind our bungalow and they started their days very early. But that shouldn't be a problem anymore since the trees were down when we left. They have a great pool, pool... More

We stayed here for one night on our trip to Costa Rica and loved it. The grounds are maintained to a T and the surroundings were beautiful. Our room was very clean, the restaurant served great food, and the pools and hot tub were a great addition. The only con was the dead mouse in the pool - therefore we... More
