Find 3 Star Hotels in Upala from SAR 208

"We booked this hotel for a short drive from Liberia, on our first day. The road is decent, but not a quick, simple drive. The property is near the Rincon de la Vieja National Park, although you must drive a little to get to the park. Hotel staff were knowledgeable about the park’s features and what was open on different days. We loved how remote and peaceful this hotel feels. Definitely use Waze to find your way to, from, and around the park. Sadly, we wasted valuable time getting lost, missing what we wanted to see. "

"Excellent service.Room are neat and clean. "

"Our stay at Casitas Tenorio B&B was the highlight of our trip, if it were available for more nights we could have easily spent several more! The cabin was jungle rustic and also roomy, high ceilinged, spacious, clean, and well appointed - privately sited right in a rainforest parcel in a cozy little enclave of other cabins, trails and the main open reception/breakfast area (we had howler monkeys, a sloth, and amazing birds every single day in the trees above and at our cabin and from the rocking chairs and porches). Don't be concerned about the lack of AC - it was completely comfortable and oftentimes quite cool. Breakfasts were homemade traditional costa rican, including fresh juice and fruit plate - they even adjusted serving time to accommodate one if our early morning excursions. Nana and Jeff were lovely people and amazing hosts sharing their pup Dingo, stories of their farm, an umbrella during a rainy spell, and especially during our amazing homestay cooking class. We thoroughly enjoyed visiting with a local neighbor family, being welcomed into their home, learning more about their culture, sharing laughs, and bonus...making (and eating) delicious empanadas and tamales by hand (our teenagers particularly enjoyed the empanada process). Such a special time to truly experince and support local tico way of life and meet beautiful people. A gem of a stay! 10/10."

"We enjoyed our stay at the Lake Arenal Brewery. Dinner and breakfast were great, the facilities were comfortable and the staff was helpful."

"Absolutely lovely stay! This adorable A frame had all the amenities you could need! And location was perfect. In the middle of a beautiful jungle but only a couple minute drive to restaurants and shopping. Also very conveniently located for seeing Rio Celeste and other tours. I loved the upper balcony that overlooks the jungle. We woke up every morning to the sounds of monkeys, toucans and many other birds. At night there was a firefly show that took my breath away! Absolutely would recommend staying here!"

"Beautiful property- stayed 3 nights at a dome tent with my 7 year old- it was very modern and well equipped. Staff are great and we enjoyed the zip lining and horseback rides while at the ranch. All were extremely convenient to book during our stay- available on an hours notice. Food was excellent and traditional and the ladies in the kitchen working at the ranch were amazing. If you are looking to do a horse back ride and zip line in Costa Rica I would highly recommend staying night or so and doing the activities while enjoying the property. It’s a better day than booking a tour from the coast if you have a car IMO, simply because you have more time to enjoy nature and generally more private zip lining and horseback riding so you could accomplish more. Our stay was mid March 2025. Activity prices were reasonable as was the stay. "

"Love the location. Beautiful property with friendly staff. Good was delicious. Secluded and quiet. Arenal area is amazing."
