"The staff was so friendly that compensated for everything else. We had an unfortunate event on our first night with Housekeeping, and they tried to compensate us as much as possible, kindness and attention was our favorite reaction from all their personnel, from cart drivers, restaurants, SPAs, and the stars were the reception team. Alonso is a great asset for this property, he made us want to come back and resolved every request we had. Great property, PURA VIDA! Memorable experience for our...

"Beautiful location! I have slept in jungles on 2 other continents but Arenal Oasis feels so alive and wild! It’s loud here. Not cars, or traffic but the tree frogs, howler monkeys, chirping insects, song birds. That’s sort of the point of this place, but if you need a quiet environment bring ear plugs to sleep! Wild life was everywhere- including many poisonous species. Our kids, 5 & 8 understood not to touch anything, but I would not recommending kids any younger as the jungle surrounds...

"This property was amazing, literally one of the most beautiful properties that I have ever stayed at! The staff were so accomodating, especially given a reservation error . They had us check in, stated they would handle the problem with Expedia, and told us the most important thing is that we have a good time. AND THEY LIVED UP TO IT! I couldn't believe there wasn't 100 extra charges and excuses etc--such incredible service! Our family of (6) kept busy on the hiking trails, at the beautiful...

"The cabin was in a pretty location on the side of a small lake — but the location doesn't match that on VRBO which states it's in La Fortuna town. It's actually several miles out of town, which was a problem for us since we didn't have a rental car and there's no public transport serving the area. The owner offered us a lift into La Fortuna on our first day, but beyond that we had to keep booking Ubers which also were quite unreliable. The cabin was nice but could do with a bit of upkeep —...

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

5/5 Excellent
"Very nice clean place to stay. Everything is beautiful, the staff is friendly and the food is good. The only down sides was the shuttle to take you to your room took a long time to get to you so many times we had to walk a very steep up hill to our rooms. There's also no close bathrooms by the pool so that was also a long walk, especially with kids that like to tell you last minute they need to pee. I also wish they had a snack bar or something smaller than going into a restaurant to order some ice cream or snacks while at the pool. Overall very clean and nice place. I would stay here again. "
