Top Venado Caves Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"The entire resort was phenomenal. The rooms were clean and spacious, the restaurants were fantastic, and the pools were relaxing. Each pool has a different temperature and you can find one that fits your needs. The resort had a great view of the volcano as well. We stayed here the last 3 days and it was the perfect end to our trip."

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

8/10 Good

"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."

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"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."

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

8/10 Good

"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."

Simply the best, incredible views, pool, breakfast and a friend in the area!

10/10 Excellent

"Great location and great host! We wanted to experience living in the middle of a rain forest and that's exactly what we got. The house is situated with a view of lake Arenal. Cicadas constant hum, winds, and the micro weather changes gave us a unique experience. Host Patrick, Elisa and their staff were kind and accommodating. Every morning, we were greeted with great coffee, tropical smoothie, and an array of delicious breakfast spread that gave us the energy to do all the stuff we wanted to do rest of the day. House is big enough for a large family or multiple families. Has a grande pool house with a lot of amenities. Patrick made reservations for our activities and helped us with our plans based on our interests."
