The view from our bungalow was amazing, the bungalows sit right overlooking the arenal volcano and on a clear day you can take some great pictures.
The grounds in this hotel are very well maintained, the personnel is helpful and kind. The breakfast and the food at the restaurant are tasty. Over all, we enjoyed out stay in Arenal and our stay in this hotel

Pros--There was a nice pool with a great view of Arenal volcano. The restaurant was decent with a good included breakfast. Free internet
Cons--There was place to store clothes, no drawers and four handers on a rod very close to the sink. The lighting was very poor and it was impossible to read. It is next to a farm and roosters crow at night.

We had booked online and are always interested to see if the hotel lives up to its presentaion and this one definitely did. Cute cabins back behind the main part of the hotel with an awesome view of Arenal. Great gardens with tons of birds. Breakfast included...
The rooms come with t.v., a/c and a fridge. The bathrooms are nice, but the water pressure is not so good and the hot water is only warm. Our only complaint would be that the bottom fitted sheet's elastic was worn out and wouldnt stay on the mattress.
the pool area is great! 3 spas and a cute pool with waterfall....great to have a spa to crawl into after hiking the volcano!!!!! they also had a t.v. and a pool table out there.

We stayed at La Pradera for 2 nights and booked through Anywhere Costa Rica. The staff was very accomodating when we had an unexpected delay and didn't arrive until midnight - we were still able to get into our room OK and they responded right away which put our minds at ease since it was our first trip to Costa Rica and we didn't know what to expect! The grounds are absolutely beautiful and lush with tropical plants all over. The included breakfast was amazing and so filling, much more than a typical continental breakfast you would get in the US. Eggs, AWESOME french toast, rice and beans, fresh fruit, yogurt, sausage, the list goes on! The hotel also has a beautiful view of Volcan Arenal. There is also free wifi in the reception area so that is nice for contacting home. The hotel is great for families since it is a little ways out of La Fortuna (not more than a short cab ride) and therefore nice and quiet. The pool looked really nice although we didn't get a chance to use it. Our room was always clean and the beds were comfortable. We wished we could have stayed longer!
