Great location but needs updates
Beautiful location, view of the volcano, hot springs were great. Location was great. Staff was ok friendly, but not overly. Beds/pillows were very comfortable. But for $400 a night, this place needs updates/repairs in all thier rooms, entrance, lobby, etc.

Fantastic hot springs
The grounds are beautiful and view of the volcano once the clouds cleared was amazing. Great breakfast. Shuttle service in the rain was great. Seemed understaffed however and a few things needed repair.

Great hotel in a great location
Incredible hotel located in the perfect part of town. The rooms are all separate and the pools and thermal pools are easily accessible and not too crowded. The thermal pools are all on site and all different temperatures so it’s easy to find one that’s exactly that you want. The staff are super friendly and the restaurant and bar are great. No noise problems at all. If you have a car, Parking is available right outside your door or in the lot at the entrance if you have multiple. You can see the volcano from every part of the resort. Definitely recommend.

We stayed in the villa which was perfect for a family of four with teenage kids. The hotel had a wonderful position overlooking the volcano and was well situated for activities and getting into Fortuna. The staff were great with a specific call out for Maurizio. Great stay and happy to recommend.

Fantastic time
My recent stay at your resort was truly exceptional. From the moment I arrived, I was captivated by the stunning views – they were breathtaking and provided the perfect backdrop for a truly relaxing vacation. Beyond the picturesque scenery, the resort's amenities were first-rate and I made full use of them throughout my stay. However, what truly set this experience apart was the extraordinary service I received from your staff. Everyone I encountered went above and beyond to ensure my comfort and create lasting memories. I want to specifically commend Laura, the property manager, who was phenomenal. Her dedication to providing exceptional service was evident in every interaction. Her attentiveness and professionalism made a significant contribution to the overall positive experience. Thank you again for a wonderful stay; I highly recommend your resort and will certainly be returning in the future.

Rooms are dated, grounds nice
The resort grounds are beautiful but the rooms are very dated. The buffet breakfast was not very good. It was hard to get spring towels. The air blew in the room but it was very humid.

Cute resort with hot springs
We liked our stay in Arenal Paraiso. The lodge was comfortable and had a nice patio with view of Arenal Volcano. We liked to go to thermal springs and a pool after active hikes. The location of this resort is convenient to both Arenal National Park and amenities of La Fortuna.
