You hear birds singing and lots of trucks roving engine when trying to climb uphill. I paid for most expansive family room which was right next to the street. I requested change that was declined with simple line “Rooms are already assigned and booked. There were only 2 people who running bar, kitchen, serving food, who also checked us in. Breakfast is as per menu. Strictly 1 item/person. I had light breakfast for myself, as I’m early riser. I came back with my family for their breakfast and asked for another cup of coffee when host replied that it’s not possible, as I have already had my breakfast. Same answer for my son who asked if he can have a cup of yogurt with his omelette. No internet. I asked for internet when host replied that my boss is coming to fix it, which never happened. TV was apparently connected to the internet as well. Not sure why they had metal lockable jail doors out side of the siding door of our room and even windows. It could be just design, But room key was to metal door.

Waking up to bird chirping and viewing sunset from pool is absolutely breathtaking . You need a car to commute . Taxis/ uber needs to be booked in advance . Breakfast options are limited. Pool / jacuzzi should be open till later in the evening . We enjoyed the pool table and chess in the late evening with kids.

The staff here is exceptional. Cesar is a great host and will do whatever it takes to make your stay memorable. He booked our white-water rafting trip for us. Chris, in the restaurant, was very attentive and even passed along some messages from the rafting company to us. It is about 20 minutes out of La Fortuna with a beautiful view of Lake Arenal. Lots of birds to see, too. This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and when we get back to CR, we will stay there again.

Stumbled upon a hidden gem in Arenal! Hotel La Misión Arenal offers the perfect blend of comfort and charm. Nestled in lush surroundings with stunning views of Lake Arenal, it’s the ideal escape for adventure and relaxation. Our stay here was wonderful and I can not wait to return plus on my list of places to send clients too.

Amazing location with view on the lake, tenorio and mountains. Birds, but quiet. Cool pool and hot tub in perfect spot to enjoy the view. We liked the restaurant for breakfast and diner Rooms were large and cozy. Only issue was a water pipe break, but they offered another bungalow right away and it looked repaired the next day anyways.

Cannot wait to go back!!!

The Inn is nothing short of fabulous. The location is perfect (totally worth the scenic but very windy drive getting there…just take your time and enjoy the ride!) and a great place to just sit at the pool and enjoy the incredible views or to take a ride and check out other areas. You get so much for your money there and they have a terrific restaurant and bar on premises. Cesar is a terrific host and a tremendous resource to recommend places to go and things to do. We spent 5 days at Playa Conchal and 2 days at La Mansion but I wish we had done the reverse and stayed in the rainforest longer. The sights and sounds are endlessly beautiful.

Fantastic, especially if you are looking for quiet

I loved it! The views are unbeatable and the value of that panorama at that price is incredible. The staff are really nice and accommodating. I enjoyed both the free breakfast and the outstanding dinner I had there. The rooms have a lot of fun and cool decorations and furnishings. I'd say the only 2 criticisms are that the wi-fi could be stronger inside the bungalows and that it's a bit far from Arenal.
