"The facility is clean and well presented. I was put off a bit by the initial welcome where you are told of the charge for losing your pool ticket, the fact you can only go to breakfast once etc. After that the facility is very nice and all staff were very helpful. One area that was an issue was the ..."

"The property looks just like it's pictured. It's an amazing view. It's nice to have access to the hotel below, but it's not really walkable. It is if you want a cardio workout, the steep climb is tough even when you're in shape. I did it once and it was a hard climb/walk. So much to do in the area ..."

We had a great time Ecoglide Arenal. There were lots of lines and some of the longest we had been on. Got to see lots of the area. We also went to TermoArenal and these hot spring were great and they were not crowded like some of the bigger ones

5/5 - Excellent

Very friendly people. Enjoyed a Spanish Catholic mass downtown. Nice downtown park.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

driving in this area is very scary & dangerous, but the rainforest is beautiful; was just a little disappointed because I came for the volcano, but you can't really get close to it, so if you're like me, & you just want to see a volcano, go elsewhere

Did the sky adventures zip line and hanging bridges home, hiked arenal volcano park, went horseback riding at Mistico park
