Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas

Nice and quiet hotel. If you have a car is ok, but if you have to walk is a little far from the downtown. Breakfast is good, it has a good parking place, a small piscine. We had a good time and slept like a babies because there is no noise… bed are comfortable

Unfortunately, we had unseasonably bad rain--like rainy season level rain--so we didn't get to enjoy the views as much. We loved this lodge though! The villa was perfect. There was plenty of space. The screened back porch was a delightful place to enjoy a sunrise. I wish I had more time there--and better weather. **Pro tips** 1. Bring ear plugs. The rain really comes down, and there are lots of active night animals. I would not have slept without them. 2. Bring your own coffee if you need it before breakfast opens. The kitchen is stocked with supplies, but not consumables. 3. Watch out for snakes at night. I despise them, and of course there was one sitting on the road!

WORST PLACE !! Run!! Checked in on 29th of November, left my villa for a tour, came back 3 hours later to find out that both of our MacBooks , my Garmin watch, AirPods and even iPhone charger were stolen and my bathing suite , by hotel workers! How do I know it was hotel workers- because no sign of break in, our villa was open with the key by those thief and they locked the door after themselves after they stole $3000 worth of our belongings. When we approached them they just started playing stupid, like oh, no way, blah blah, one of them even came to our room and started taking pictures- of what? Stolen stuff that is not in the room? It couldn’t be more obvious that it’s an inside job. Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here

Great place with amazing homes and views. We enjoyed hiking directly from the property and walking to the nearby Arenal waterfalls. The staff are friendly and helpful. This place is in the rainforest and on the side of a mountain with amazing views. We can’t wait to come back to this resort.

The property was huge with a beautiful view of sky and town ,my only problem was the lack of communication between the front desk and the restaurant on premise. And that my check out was at 12pm but they told me no its at 11 am.

We booked the lodge for a family of 6 and it an exact fit, plenty of beds in separates areas - comfortable beds, two showers, hot water (not all lodges really provide hot enough water), small swimming pool, free breakfast and great view of the Arenal volcano I wouldn’t recommend booking this place if you don’t have a car, preferably a 4x4 as it’s not really comfortable walking the distances to go on or out, going to our room (#15) requires going up in a ~40% incline One more point to consider, so in the wet season the hard rain sounds inside the lodge like someone is drumming on the roof - it’s very loud All in all, we had a good stay

This property is clean and safe but definitely shows it's age. They need to clean-up broken items (broken hot tub, chairs and tables) and the apperance would be so much better. Food was very good and staff was very nice. We saw a sloth and toucan on properry. Decent place to stay on a budget.

What a great location and a beautiful place to stay. The Trogon Villa (#14) was fantastic. Great view of Fortuna. The weather was a little cloudy and colder when we were there but the kids still managed to swim in the private pool. There was a lot of space and everything was clean and tidy. I would absolutely stay there again. We were right near the hiking trail towards Cerro Chato but we ran out of time. The location is also super close to the entrance to the Arenal Waterfall hike. The staff were all super friendly. The restaurant was great also. Zero complaints.

My husband and I stayed 4 nights in February, 2023 and were given Room #12 . As soon as we started walking to the room after checking in we knew we were in trouble when we saw it was a free-standing bungalow at the top of the property. From the restaurant/pool area to the room it was 88 STEPS!! Gravel and stone steps! We asked for another room but we were told there were no other rooms available. The bungalow was spacious, separate rooms for sleeping, kitchen and dining area BUT: Hot water in shower only lasted 3 minutes (timed it) Not enough light No place to put toiletries in shower room (had to put them on the floor) No TV No outside sitting area That was our experience with the room. The restaurant was only OK. Breakfast choices are very limited. We did not use the pool. However, the staff at the desk were helpful in making reservations to the hot springs at Paradise Springs (highly recommend) and, a river safari with Canoa Aventura in the Cano ***** Wildlife Refuge on the Rio Frio (highlight of our stay in that area)
