This was a lovely place to stay. The swimming pool was great and our room was fine - very clean and small but well maintained. Unfortunately when we were there the weather was misty and wet so we never saw the volcano.

The grounds are beautiful and spacious, the blue tiled pool was great really enjoyed it at night. Rooms are run down and really need some TLC. Breakfast was adequate. Really ticked about the one towel policy, really people, your pool is a great selling point but you don't want to spring for a towel so your guests can enjoy it!?... More

Beautiful grounds, and we had a great view of the volcano from our porch. Lots of gorgeous plants, and a super nice pool. If only the interior matched the splendid grounds. Dated sheets, spreads, and drapes (yes, drapes).

The setting of Arenal Country Inn is just idealic, the small wooden cabins set amoung a beautiful garden with lash trees and flowers and lots of exsotic birds, are very comfortable and roomy enough, with decent size bathroom with hot water, tv, air-con, fridge coffee making facilites and a small porch with comfortable seating. The volcano is standing very proud... More

We had planned a vacation through a travel agent who I think got some kind of kick back from this place. I imagine it would have been fine if we we're being charged $175/night for an uncomfortable bed, cold showers and so much street noise we couldn't sleep. Its a decent drive to the arenal national park b/c of the... More

After coming from an all inclusive resort on the beach we are extremely happy with the Inn. The cabins were clean, cute, and in a beautiful garden setting. The free "tico" breakfast was good and the set up was nice. We walked into town, not too far about 10 minutes and did some shopping. We ate at El Establo next... More

The Arenal Country Inn is a nice hotel in a beautiful garden setting. The cabins are a little old, but clean and quiet. You have TV (no remote control), a fridge and a small bench outside the room on the "terrace" to sit on and watch birds. Breakfast was not very good, not because of the Tico style but more... More

Location it's OK if you want something close to La Fortuna, but no view from most of the rooms. Hot water powered by LPG that can burn you if you are not aware of it!! Breakfast opens until 7:00 AM so if you have a tour starting at 7:00 you will miss breakfast, that by the way is very basic,... More

If you are looking for a quite place to rest with a nice view and pool, this is the place. The rooms are average and they offer the basic things you can need.

This property was pretty basic little duplex cabins with a nice pool looking up to Arenal Volcano. Bed was squeeky so changed over to second bed next night and it was fine. Breakfast setup was Tico style and average. Property lacked lustre with landscaping way behind good standard of cleanup. There was a guard walking the property at night and... More
