The stay at Eco Arenal very pleasant and beautiful. The grounds are well kept with lovely local flowers and plants. The location is perfect, out of the hustle and bustle of town, but only a few minute drive to get to everything around. Would recommend staying here.

The location is excellent, offering a clean and modern room, and a superb breakfast with a wide array of choices. The staff provided exceptional service, demonstrating both friendliness and helpfulness. Its proximity to downtown is convenient, yet it is sufficiently removed to provide a sense of natural tranquility.

We had such a great experience at Eco Arenal. We stayed for 5 nights as a family with three kids and it was perfect. The room was very clean, shower was very modern, beds were comfortable, and we never got tired of the many options available at the daily breakfast. The hotel is an oasis, just close enough to bustle of La Fortuna and all the activities but remote enough where you wake up to the sounds of the monkeys and can see plethora of birds flying around.

My favorite thing was the birds at breakfast. They feed them so there were a lot of beautiful birds to watch. The breakfast was sparce as they ran out of a lot of things due to a big crowd. The room was fine although we had to park in a muddy parking lot.

We had a good stay (for 4 nights) at Eco Arenal. The grounds are very green and well taken care of. We loved the animals that we saw from the garden: monkeys, tucans and lots of very pretty birds. The room was spacious and clean. We liked the fact that there was a fridge. As we had a room on the ground floor, we had a nice place to sit outside. The breakfast was good. Many options for both local and international preferences. The staff was also kind and responsive. Possible tips for a higher rating was that we noticed some things on the exterior of the hotel that were in disrepair, which drew away some attention from the good things the hotel has going for it. But overall we enjoyed our stay and would recommend this hotel.
