This is a very nice and quaint hotel. Very convenient to everything that you would want to do in the area. Lots of activities. The only thing that would’ve been nice would’ve been a small refrigerator in the room. Amazing pizza made in the restaurant.

We loved watching the birds on the feeders at breakfast. This was by no means a three star hotel. The owner was helpful, but the rooms were very basic- no hair dryer, no table, ( no fridge of course). The gardens around it were lovely, but the walk through them needed maintaining. Go for the birds not the luxuries!

Most of the staff were wonderful. The separate rooms were lovely, comfortable and private with little gardens and sitting areas outside each one. The pool is surrounded by concrete but a nice amenity that we certainly used! Breakfasts were very good. The owners let us stay later than checkout until our transportation arrived. It is located outside of town, which is lovely for the peacefulness, but requires a taxi to get anywhere.

We loved Hotel Faro Arenal! This was our favorite stay of our entire trip in Costa Rica. Upon arriving we were welcomed by the family who owns and runs the property, and shown around to its beauty. I traveled myself as a single mother with four children and felt very welcomed and safe. I hope to visit again one day.
