阿雷納觀景溫泉旅館 - 拉夫提那

Really enjoyed our stay here in the rainforest, a great lodge, very good food, nice rooms. It's very spread out so be prepared for walking. Quite a mix of ages and nationalities there, great for birding and will life experiences, but pretty far from almost everything else in the area and down a long, bumpy dirt road. If you want to go out frequently, better to stay somewhere else.

This is a wonderful place. My only complaints are the following: Food is a little pricy at the restaurant. There are no other options available . We did not have a car so had little choice other than the on site restaurant (good food and service , though) The walls in the rooms are very thin. We heard our neighbours every night - they were talking loudly and stayed up late and got up early . It was very annoying! However , overall this is a great place to stay(just bring earplugs in case you get noisy neighbours!) Also, unless you plan to just stay at the observatory(without seeing other things around Arenal), you should consider bringing your own car

We stayed for three nights and had an amazing time. The staff are all incredibly friendly, the rooms are great and the hotel is fantastic. The free tour is brilliant, the guides are friendly, knowledgable and will make sure you see something. The reception are really helpful for booking tours or onward journeys. Can’t wait to come back!

Great guide on out hikes. Night hike was amazing. Spa is small but great atmosphere and terrific massage.

Arenal observatory was excellent for a family. The pool was perfect for kids. There was plenty of well maintained hiking trails and a good spa. Food was good and well priced. There was a lot of rain but a wonderful home base with plenty to do!
