Yolillal Hotels

"Booked the lodge for 2 nights and could have stayed 10, the host and his wife were absolutely wonderful. Cute little cabin surrounded by gardens and trees, bar fridge, fan, tv, wifi, and a nice bathroom stocked with clean towels. The very slight extra cost for breakfast is recommended and very tasty. When checking in we were given a paper with a map of the area, the host circled the free hot springs and other attractions. Very friendly to chat with. The lodge sits in front of the Miravalles Volcano. This is a great gem and worth the stay."

"Amazing view - very secluded and in nature - great breakfast. "

"Nice breakfast and garden"

"Beautiful and sparkling clean rooms set in a really wonderful piece of land. The photos don't do it justice! My one complaint would be that we had heard so much about the wonderful breakfasts and were really looking forward to it. Unfortunately, the more extensive menu is exclusively offered to people stopping in for breakfast only. We would have happily paid to upgrade from our free breakfast! "

"Had an absolutely wonderful stay at Hideaway Hotel. The food was exceptional, and the Mandarina restaurant truly stood out—every dish felt thoughtfully crafted and delicious. The attention from the staff was outstanding, always warm, attentive, and genuinely caring, which made the experience even more special. The spa was incredible—perfect for relaxing and disconnecting. We also loved the trails near the river, which added a beautiful nature element to the stay. Our room was very spacious, comfortable, and perfect for unwinding. Overall, it’s a fantastic hotel for a romantic getaway, highly recommended"

"This is a lovely, magical property. Set high up, you often find yourself in the early morning rainforest clouds. You can enjoy a cup of coffee on the patio as the clouds burn off and beautiful Lake Arenal appears below you in the distance. An incredible fresh breakfast is provided each morning! Best of all is the attentiveness of Patrick, your host. He is always quick to respond to your needs and wants and ready to help you book excursions and experiences. The views are great, the setting beautiful and the property well maintained. "

"Very good food. Fresh from the garden fruit, vegetables and eggs. "

"Cannot recommend this place enough! I don’t think I’ve ever stayed at a place so well stocked in all of my travels. We had everything we could possibly need from standard kitchen items to a blender, toaster oven, rice cooker, and even an entire area dedicated to children’s toys! (We didn’t need those but appreciated that it was available) Check-in was easy and the grounds are gorgeous. We saw monkeys playing in the trees in the back and admired the flowers all around the property. We definitely plan to book again! "

"We didn’t stay long. We had a reservation for two nights, but decided to move on after the first. We had booked a tour and left early in the morning, but decided not to come back and to move on to our next destination instead. The staff was kind, but it wasn’t really what we were expecting or perhaps what we are used to.. it had more of a feel of a retreat than a hotel. Long shared tables in the dining room and very basic rooms. Can’t really say anything bad about the place, just not what we expected. Definitely would have needed s coffee maker in the room however as I wake up at 4:30 am and need coffee."
