"Rooms are very nice and the view of the Arenal Volcano from all of the rooms is amazing on clear days. The included breakfast is very good with a great variety of foods including local specialities like gallo pinto, chicharron with salsa verde, fresh fruits, fresh squeezed orange juice, coffee and lots of other hot items. The staff are all very nice and make the effort to remember you and your name throughout your stay. The hot springs facilities are amazing to relax in after a day of exploring Costa Rica. Great swim up bar also."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"Just a glorious place. Plus, if your place is up the hill from reception, you will get your exercise in the morning walking up and down the hill! The breakfast was fantastic with home baked breads and cakes, pastries (yes, they even had chocolate cake one day and an orange cake another day)! Plus, they have an omelet station. We ate dinner there one night and it was quite good. The warm pool is lovely. It's sort of like one of the natural hot springs in the area although maybe easier to swim in. The room was so nice. We had a king bungalow. The room had a refrigerator, a coffee pot, and even an electric tea pot. I loved it."

10/10 Excellent

"Property is expansive and immaculately maintained. In the off season it felt as if we had rented the entire beautiful property. Lots of walking and stairs — be warned. Everyone very eager to assist and please. Food is fine but unimaginative and ridiculously expensive. Cocktails are great, but still priced for NYC."
