Great place to stay for a few nights in La Fortuna. Hotel is 3-star, so wasn't expecting the Ritz... rooms were clean, everything worked as advertised, breakfast was good. Location was great - we liked that it wasn't directly downtown (we had a car) so it was nice and quiet. Would stay again if back in La Fortuna.

The hotel is well maintained nestled within beautiful vegetation. The staff are super attentive, helpfull and friendly. Breakfast was delicious and we enjoyed observing the birds eating the fruit set for them. Carlos was super informative, helpful, friendly and professional.

Great service very friendly and 6 mins from la fortuna. Good pickup spot for tours. They have a fantastic breakfast and a BBQ place across the street. Amazing ac in room will full cable service. Beds are between hard and soft but very quite at night. Right next to a small creek and tons of wildlife all around

We were warmly welcomed and treated with utmost courtesy and professionalism in this unique and beautiful resort. We were a family of 4 and stayed for 3 nights in Feb 2025. The resort was like a garden itself, very cozy and homely and also very safe and secure. This is the best place to stay, where downtown and even many tourist activities are only 1km away. There are several restaurants within walking distance. Management is super nice and helpful. They scheduled all our tours and even our daughter received a surprise birthday present for her birthday! Breakfast is really good with local specialties that my entire family loved. Would really recommend for all to stay here!

This is a lovely hotel just outside La Fortuna. A rushing river runs behind the property and the grounds are filled with interesting birds. The room was brand new and the breakfast was good. You pretty much need a car to get to town for dinner or anything else, but the tour companies will come to get you for the various adventures. The only restaurant nearby was Mary's BBQ and we had a bad meal and rude customer service there. Read the reviews before you have anything more than a drink there.

Eco Arsenal Hotel-- I would highly recommend this hotel. Front desk customer service was excellent and staff was very friendly as well. The grounds were beautiful and well kept up. Lots of birds and squirrels. Even seen a monkeys in the trees early in the morning.The room was very clean with modern anemities. The mattress were nice and firm, NOT old and lumpy.

Bathroom alcove had with no privacy from sleeping area, more like an open stall in a public bathroom. There was mold on the walls of the bathroom alcove. Massive problem with flies and uncovered food at breakfast, they need fans or something in the eating area. Generally, well situated yet quiet. Friendly iguana by the pool.

10/10

Loved Eco Arenal and all the staff. Laura was awesome, lots of information and very accomodating. We stayed in the newer building so everything was clean tidy and comfortable. The birds that visited were unbelievable, better than the hikes in the area in our experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice quiet relaxing stay while still being close to town for restaurants and shopping.

We loved our recent stay at the Eco Arenal Hotel. The room was clean with a patio overlooking the creek and jungle. We walked the beautiful grounds and gardens every night and admired the hummingbirds and flowers. We could hear howler monkeys in the distance, but never saw them. The breakfast included everything from local foods to pancakes. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant across the street (Mary's) was also excellent for dinner. I highly recommend this hotel.

4/10

We were quite disappointed with the accommodations. The rooms were old and had a musty odor. There was quite a bit of mold and mildew on the ceiling of the bathrooms. The breakfast was okay and there was a beautiful view of the volcano from the dining area.

We were on a family vacation and stayed there for 3 nights. When we check in, they first gave us a wrong type of room then our booking. That room was on a two-story building. The room was dark, and smelt moldy. We went back to the reception, they switched us to a different room which has the correct bed settings as we booked, but this time they only had 2 sets of towels and even bed blankets for our family of 3. Again, we went back to the reception and they fixed the problem. Hotel room is comfortable. Bathroom setup is a little weird. There is no room to leave your luggage open, so you always have to put it on bed, open and get your stuff and then close and put away. Breakfast is okay, same stuff every day. The smoke bbq restaurant across street is a good place to get lunch or dinner.
