Despite some of the reviews we found, we were told by a friend that lives in Costa Rica that this was a great place. He was absolutely right and we are happy that we listened to him versus some of the first time travel critics that do not understand traveling abroad. We found the bungalows to be charming with all... more

We really enjoyed our stay at the Inn. The cabins were so cosy and comfortable and gave us a lot of privacy. Each had its own bench outside to enjoy the magnificent grounds. The flowers, trees and bushes were exceptional and well-cared for. The gardener cut us down some coconuts to eat (a treat we do not get at home).... more

My wife and our kids (13 & 14) stayed here for two nights. It is a very neat and clean place to stay. The rooms are in separate cottages and are adequate in size. The bathroom and shower are quite large by European standards. Each room has a mini bar stocked with beer, wine, M&M's whiskey, water and soft drinks.... more

We loved our stay at Arenal Country Inn. The rooms are private, very clean, and contain the necessary amenities in a quiet country setting. The photos on their web site, although pretty, cannot begin to depict its beautiful natural setting. The hotel is located only a short walk from La Fortuna; however, it is hard to leave the gorgeous grounds... more

We were MAD at the travel agent for this one. The beds smelled like a hockey bag, water pressure was non-existent, no restaurant or accommodations. This place was a nickle motel and not comfortable. You could hear the traffic on the highway all night. On the upside - the landscaping was very nice and good bird watching. more

Costa Rica is a wonderful country with lots of amazing sights and activities for the entire family. Arenal specifically is a must-visit, if only to see an active volcano in all its glory. However, my wife and I would NEVER suggest anyone stay at the Arenal Country Inn. The breakfasts there were tasty and the bird-watching was one of a... more

I stayed at the Arenal Country Inn October 11-13, 2005 as part of a tour group and found it to be quite pleasant. The grounds were very nicely landscaped and the pool very inviting. The bar and dining area while open air of course was covered and the food was fine. The little town of La Fortuna was quick and... more

This was a lovely place with clean rooms and good service. There's a great view of the mountain but, unfortunately, the erruption area is no longer visible from the hotel. It's off the main road (on the way to the waterfall) and is very quiet at night. They provided a nice morning breakfast by the pool area too. more
