"Clean room and amenities. Friendly staff for the most part. Would change breakfast to self-serve buffet style rather than having one person serve a queue of people. "

"The first thing you notice at Arenal Observatory Lodge is the spectacular grounds! There are many opportunities for gentle walks and hikes on the property. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms had everything we needed but were basic, not luxurious."

"The grounds are amazing. Super friendly staff. Very good breakfast buffet. We had a car so location worked very well for us."

"Excelente todo."

"Location is amazing with proximity to La Fortuna. It was the perfect distance for the feeling of safety with limited transit needed to get to attractions. The room was wonderful, no bugs, great AC, safe in room. The biggest disappointment was the shower head and water temperature. It sprayed everywhere and was not hot. Many more hooks around the spacious room would have been helpful for hanging damp or wet clothes. The soap products smelled amazing. The pool was lovely. We didn’t find any of the many hot tubs to be hot on our first night, but we did find one hot one on our second day. The buffet breakfast with eggs/omelets to order was amazing!! A truly wonderful dining experience with so many options. For dinner, we sat down and promptly left to go to town. There were no menu descriptions and the prices seemed extremely high. The town is not far and driving in the dark was not bad at all for such a short distance. L Options were far superior for us in leaving for dinner. Do not miss Tierra Mia or Restaurant Fortuneño. Would recommend and would return. "

"What a perfect natural oasis with spacious beautifully situated bungalow style accommodation and an open air restaraunt looking out on the stunning Arenal Volcano. Sloths , toucans and other wildlife right on our doorstep. Set well back from the main road. Quiet and peaceful. We loved it."
