Beautiful grounds and absolutely amazing staff! The rooms have the most amazing view of the volcano. We kept hoping we would see some sparks or smoke from it but no such luck. The only remotely negative thing I have to say about this place is that the on site restaurant is very expensive and the food is very mediocre. The... More

I spend three nights and four days with my family, what I like about this hotel is that is really private and even if there is people around you don't even notice it. The staff is great they are very helpful, polite and tell good stories about the volcano. The location is remarkable just 5km from the top of the... More

We were fortunate enough to vacation at Arenal Kioro again this year. We stayed two years ago and loved it. This trip was even better! The resort is beautiful and the staff treated us like V.I.P.'s! I have never stayed at a resort that was so intimate and beautiful. The views of the volcano from our suite (which had it's... More

I found this hotel on Groupon and booked it right away. It's located at the bottom of Arenal Volcano and has a great view of the volcano. The service was superior. The rooms were beautiful - each has a small balcony facing the volcano. The breakfast was delicious. They aided us in booking a couple of excursions and were so... More

I regret that I was only able to stay for two nights. My suite was large and very comfortable. The view of the volcano was spectacular, especially at sunrise. The breakfast included everything you could want from cereal to omelets and everything in between. The only thing better than the food was the quality of the service---friendly and most helpful.

The Kioro hotel is located well close to the Arenal Vulcano. The surrounding is magnificant, the service and the attention of the staff is outstanding. What a pitty that they could not chase the clouds away from the top of the mountain during our stay!

Rooms are really nice - great views of the volcano, floor to ceiling windows, hot tubs and spacious. Concierge booked all our taxis and Zipline excursion without any issues. Grounds are impeccably maintained and lush with landscaping. Pools were fine and hot springs were nice - probably about 10 different hot pools to choose from all tiered together.

We stayed here in February and really enjoyed it. The rooms are beautiful and the view out the sliding glass doors opposite the bed are just amazing...the best non-water view I've had.
