We stayed 3 nights at hotel lomas de volcán early this month. We stayed in one of the cabins and had an awesome time. The pool was clean and gave us an awesome view of the volcano. Staff was friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great. More

Unique views, seclusion and a garden environment in one of the most appealing and natural areas of Costa Rica. The place is planted to accommodate birds while the private porches accommodate birdwatchers.

Secluded, yet close to town. The property is beautiful. The staff is attentive. Our bungalow was gorgeous. Front and back porches, vaulted ceilings, giant bathroom - it was roomy and cozy. Who knew that was possible? Our towels and tissues were origami delights.
They offered us a menu of activities that they could facilitate for us. We took the Sloth Quest and had a great time. Our guide was very knowledgeable.
The restaurant served wonderful food. Dinner is well presented.
We can't say enough about the place!

Private cabins with covered patio facing the volcano. Very clean and private. Hotel desk staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was plentiful and tasty. Cappuccino was an extra cost. Coffee in room only had powered cream. Housekeeping staff kept the room very clean and made a towel decoration-a swan! Room temperature was fine. Decor was lovely. I would stay here again. Free bookshelf in lobby. Suggestion for minor improvement: Tea in room would be nice and fruit in lobby.

When we found out our tour group switched our hotel to his one, we were disappointed because the other hotel looked nice in photos we saw, but when we got here, our disappointed vanished quickly. The drive to the reception, the gardens, the ambience, all felt and looked great. One of our biggest concerns was whether there was air conditioning in the rooms because the website didn't mention it. After our rustic lodgings in Tortuguero, with only a fan to cool us, we were hoping for air conditioning to make sleeping more comfortable.
When we were taken to our room, we were suprised that it wasn't a room, but our own private bungalow. It was like having a mini-house with a front and back porch. The room was spacious and the bathroom was huge (it even included a bidet). When we walked into the bungalow, it was hot (35 degrees C / 95 degrees F). The person who brought us here said "caliente", but quickly showed us how to turn on and use the air conditioning so all was good. The front porch has a great view of the valley and La Fortuna and the back porch (which is sort of enclosed with a half wall all around it and glass/plexiglass panels on the side, looked directly at Arenal Volcano.
There was a restaurant on site that included breakfast each morning. Lunch and breakfast was available throughout the day and evening. Breakfast was good, but was the same every morning as they didn't change up what was available. The menu for lunch and dinner is quite large and pricing ranged from $15-$35 for the dinner entrees. The burger I had at lunch one day was very good. There is also a bar next to the restaurant that had happy hour each day from 5pm-7pm. They had a menu where you could have drink specials. 2-for-1 cocktails were $8, 2-for-1 beers were $6 and 2-for-1 wine was $10.
The overall facility is quite large and has lots of pathways and walkways. There is even a small hiking trail above the hotel that takes you through farmland and then the forest. It doesn't look like it's used a lot, but the trail is easy to follow. The pool is quite large and the hot tub is under a gazebo. The odd thing we found at the pool was, other than the gazebo, there were no other shaded areas or umbrellas for shade (or rain).
The hotel is located a couple of miles from La Fortuna (and up the hill) so the best way to get to town is to take a cab (which costs $6 each way). The hotel can arrange this. It's probably a bit awkward to walk to and from town from the hotel. The hotel can also arrange a number of different tours if you don't already have tours booked. The pricing seemed to be in line with what we paid when we pre-booked ours.
Overall, we were happy with the hotel and it seemed like it was a better choice than our originally booked hotel. Would stay here again if visiting Arenal area again.

First time to Costa Rica family of 4 (grown children). This hotel was absolutely beautiful. Everybody was friendly and courteous. The grounds looked like they came out of a movie set!
Close to downtown, yet not walkable as the hotel is set about 2 miles from main road. You can't walk the 2 miles as it's steep and muddy.
I WILL ABSOLUTELY STAY THERE AGAIN!!!
