Venado Hotel Guide - Cavernas de Venado hotels in Venado, Costa Rica.

"The food especially the fish was not so good. I guess a $50 tip for the guy that showed us around the property was not enough because he wouldn't even look at us after that. Other than that the place is great we loved it except the water slide was closed and so was the bar I guess low season."

"Room was clean but slightly outdated. We got a lot of use from the hot springs, that was the highlight of our stay. Staff were friendly and did a great job explaining the layout of the resort and answering questions upon arrival. Easy access to La fortuna downtown area by car as well "

"Clean bungalow set in a pretty, well-maintained natural setting. Good views of the volcano. Decent breakfast with both hot and cold foods available. Not too far from the town of La Fortuna. "

"Wonderful"

"Hot springs cross the street, it’s not walkable, but shuttle convenient. ShangriLa pretty cool."

"A beautiful setting with a wonderful.cabin with A/C, internet, fridge, etc. So many exotic birds to see and hear including toucans, great carrasow, hummingbirds, thrushes and more. Gorgeous flowering plants on the grounds with fabulous view of the Arenal Volcano. "

"Very nice resort. Great views - you're one on one with nature there. The private villas are the way to go. Great staff, too. They also have their own private nature trail to investigate as well. Even though there was construction going on directly behind our villa it didn't impact our 3 night stay at all. I commend them for that. The villa was very clean, the glass shower to the outdoors is very cool. Some bugs were able to make their way in but nothing unreasonable. CR construction standards can't be compared to the US but it was acceptable. You're on the side of a mountain so be prepared for some steps to get to your room. If you need rooms to be "accessible" then CR probably isn't for you. You're either going up or down to get anywhere. The convenience of being next to the Mistico Hanging Bridges was nice - one less destination to have to drive to. The included morning buffet at the Lost Iguana was fantastic. Yeah, it's a short drive away but worth it. Each day they had some variation in their breakfast offerings. The staff there was great - shout out to David! I don't know if I'd go back but if I did I know I wouldn't be disappointed."

"The view from the room was absolutely stunning and definitely the highlight of our stay. The room itself was clean and spacious, which worked perfectly for me and my husband. However, there were a few downsides. The room felt a bit dark and outdated, and unfortunately, the bed was not comfortable for my liking. The pillows were also extremely large, which made it difficult for me to sleep. I asked the attendant if there were thinner options available, but I was told there weren’t any, and the response felt dismissive and lacking in care. Breakfast was just okay—nothing particularly memorable. Additionally, the drive up to the hotel was quite intense and challenging, which is something to keep in mind when planning your visit. Overall, while the view and room size were great, the lack of comfort and service made the experience less enjoyable than it could have been."
