Room small, bathroom smaller. Breakfast was good. Front desk staff helpful.
We stayed 7 nights. The property is nice and clean, close to everything, healthy breakfast, nice staff. The reason I leave 4 stars is that there are NO LAUNDRY FACILITIES on site. You can get this service for an additional charge or you can search for other options outside the property.
The Arenal Country Inn was a wonderful place to stay! It is conveniently located to the town and the room was very comfortable! It could use a few more hooks to hang clothes and someplace to put suitcases instead of the floor. But overall the room did meet our needs and held our family of four nicely. I would request to have the bottles for body wash and hand wash filled up since we ran out of body wash and it was never filled.
The breakfast was absolutely delicious and we enjoyed it daily for 8 days! The staff is very friendly and very helpful. They helped us book a tour and it worked out beautifully!
The restaurant next door delivers and we got to enjoy pizza next to the pool.
La Fortuna was great and this place is very conveniently located and having breakfast each day really helped us make the most of each day there !!
Great place to stay in La Fortuna. We enjoyed big pool, beautiful property with so many plants and flowers and clean room. The hotel also has laundry service.
The property has beautiful gardens and very peaceful to relax by the pool. The staff was friendly and very helpful. Rooms super clean and comfortable. I will just add a microwave in the rooms .
Hotel was very nice - the premises were very beautiful with each cottage having its own veranda with beautiful foliage. Room is a bit small but very comfortable. Location is also very good. Breakfast was tasty.
We stayed here as a family of five (with kids aged 13, 8, and 5), and it was a wonderful experience. The pool was perfect for our kids—just the right size for them to enjoy and play safely. The location is great too; it's within walking distance to downtown La Fortuna, which made exploring easy and fun. The daily breakfast was delicious and a great way to start each day. We would absolutely stay here again as a family!
The property and service was amazing. The pool area was quiet and very spacious. The breakfast was lovely. The rooms are older and dated, but very clean and we would definitely stay again! Nice spot indeed!
