The view is absolutely amazing and we loved the little secluded bungalow. The owners are so friendly and informative. The breakfast is amazing, it’s a 4 course meal and different each day. You start with a parfait, then a specialty pancake, the main course is eggs and a specialty side (empanadas, etc.) and then juice, definitely fills you up for an adventurous hike. I would definitely recommend this place. Almost forgot you have a special wake up call from the howler monkeys around 5:15 a.m.

The property was absolutely beautiful and peacefully quiet. The resort overlooked a stunning lake, making for a breathtaking view. While it may not be the most kid-friendly spot, the owner’s friendly cats kept my little ones entertained! The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable! 🐒

Immaculate views and chill nature vibes

Little slice of paradise. Views are immaculate and the vibes are relaxed. Far enough from the touristy areas to feel authentic but close enough to the sights to reasonably do it all. Breakfast service was divine and a nice way to start the day off. Lack of AC not an issue at all, even when the temperature looks high because the breeze and shade make for ideal temperatures. We loved our stay and would recommend to any couple looking for a heightened experience in Arenal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The panoramic view of Lake Arenal is amazing and can be enjoyed from the bed, the sitting area, or the deck. Ana and her staff served the most delicious breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable and was nicely made up each day while we were out exploring. There are a few restaurants and small shops within walking distance, down a dirt road at the bottom of the hill. We rented a car at the airport in San Jose, and I think it might be tricky to get around without one as this is a fairly remote spot (in a good way). La Fortuna is about a 40 minute drive away; we explored the town, visited the Tabacon hot springs (there are many others depending on your tastes), and did excursions to the Mistico hanging bridges, La Fortuna Waterfall, and Arenal Volcano lava fields. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a scenic, private, peaceful and welcoming spot (and some amazing food) away from the commotion of town.

Such a beautiful, peaceful place. The owners were amazing and made our stay so special. They make the most delicious breakfast and anything you want for dinner. The rooms are comfortable and clean with amazing views. It is a little out of the way, if you want to be close to activities it’s a bit of a drive.

My girlfriend and I were there to enjoy a peaceful couple of nights with a comfortable room. The rooms were individual cabins so there were no noisy neighbors. It was very satisfying. The owners were most gracious. We are thinking of moving to Costa Rica. If we did, we would love having them as friends. Maybe even neighbors!

Hotel Laguna Arenal is a great hotel with spectacular view of the Arenal Lake. Staff were very nice and accommodating. Very highly recommended despite the lack of air conditioning and unpaved uphill road. The view and the serenity ambiance outweighs its cons.
