"Adan and Marianne were perfect hosts and far exceeded our expectations. Communication and check-in were easy and they even called to help us navigate a GPS error (on our part) on our way there. Property was clean and their flowers were beautiful. They gave us fresh fruit and pastries in the morning. Our 2 young kids quickly took to Adan and Marianne, plus their two adorable dogs. Our kids loved checking out the birds on the property with them, and they were gracious to lend us binoculars and...

"As I say in the title this is a nice place and I will add it is a great value. The host asked us before we left if there was anything we would suggest to make our stay even better. We told Cristian there were a few minor things that would make this place even more appealing. First and foremost a microwave oven would be a huge upgrade. Being able to easily heat up leftovers from dinner the night before would be a game changer.Second suggestion was a dish drying rack. This makes keeping the units...

"So much to love here! The breakfast was amazing with so many options for all members of our party, the grounds were gorgeous, the hot springs made for perfect evening entertainment and the wildlife around the property was so much fun to see! Only need to know is that the rooms are a little older- they were clean though and worked fine for us! Overall a solid value!!"
"Property is beautiful and luxurious. Our vacation included The Springs, Nayara, mi Amor, Tabacon.
Liked...the big rooms with view of volcano from bed. The vast manmade pools as well as the water slide are highlights like a waterpark. The activity center seems engaging, we didn't do many besides the big cat feeding. It was a spectacular experience seeing with the animals.
What we didn't like... feels like staff here was lacking around the pool area and never left their bar nest. Also compared to all these other 5 star properties breakfast was not included, $30+ avocado toast +this and that tax:) just felt like the springs tried to squeeze every single penny out of their client. Staff was very professional just didn't look happy to be there, if that makes sense."
"Our stay was truly special in every way, the privacy of our bungalows nestled in the rainforest that kept us connected to nature but close enough to all the amenities we needed was amazing. The view of the volcanoes from breakfast and the pool, breathtaking, and the drive in and out so scenic, we cannot wait to return again someday!"
"Unbelievably amazing stay! The 2 bedroom villa exceeded expectations. It was luxury mixed with lush tropical plants everywhere. The staff was very friendly and always willing to help. The drivers and tour guides added to our great experience. We will definitely go back!!"
"We enjoyed our stay! The staff was helpful planning our excursions and transportation. We were also glad to stay on property and walk the trails, see the lake and use the hot springs and pools. The restaurant had beautiful presentations with every meal
I ordered."
"We enjoyed a three-night stay at Arenal Kioro and had a very pleasant experience.
The grounds were beautifully maintained and created a peaceful, relaxing atmosphere with the surrounding natural beauty adding to the overall experience. The staff were one of the highlights of our stay. Everyone was friendly, personable, and welcoming. I especially appreciated that staff members remembered me and addressed me by name whenever we crossed paths, which made the experience feel more personalized and warm.
The room was comfortable and matched the photos shown online. The layout was different from what I was used to, but it was exactly as represented, so there were no surprises. The bed was decent and provided a comfortable place to rest after exploring the area.
The breakfast was decent, with enough options to start the day.
Overall, Arenal Kioro provided a relaxing stay with beautiful surroundings, excellent hospitality, and a welcoming atmosphere. The genuine friendliness of the staff truly stood out and made our three-night stay enjoyable."
"Really liked our stay here.
It’s still a work in progress, so going here in the future will be even better. But for our stay, the bungalows (two story lodges) were brilliant!
So clean.
Airy.
Had everything we could need.
Cleaned daily.
Food was available, but at cost. This wasn’t an issue and we enjoyed it washed down with a drink or too in the bar area.
The hot tub/spa was nice. Lovely temp and surrounded by forest. Very relaxing.
We stayed as a family of three, our son 9yrs of age. There was plenty of space to play with other kids he met. Plenty of toys and games available to keep him and other kids entertained (connect 4, jenga, footballs, frisbees etc)
Was the perfect stay, and decent location for La Fortuna, just 20 minutes drive away"
"This resort is amazing and the staff is great. My only complaint is that the bathroom in the room has a permanently open small window. This makes the bathroom extremely humid and uncomfortable. You have to keep the bathroom door closed so that the room does not feel the same."
"The staff here is absolutely fantastic! Even though our trip started a bit bumpy, they totally turned it around and made us feel so welcome and at home. Their hospitality was beyond amazing, and they were super accommodating to everything we needed. We're definitely coming back when we're in the La Fortuna area! They even helped us plan activities and surprised my sister for her birthday, which was so sweet! Big shout-out to Alejandro, Jimmy, Carlos, and Victor! Pura Vida !"
