“Super great hotel complex, with a view of the volcano. We could see more animals from our room than on the hike in the national park! The staff were super nice and helpful, the food was awesome and everything was very clean👍”
“Outstanding scenery and great rooms. This is a truly unique place to stay. There is a small restaurant on site. Lovely pool overlooking the lake, volcano and souroundings”
“Essence Arenal is very authentic and genuinely beautiful! It is far from Fortuna and it’s ugly restaurants and stores. Very quiet! Great view on the volcano! The park and farm around are amazing. You live very close to the forest and can observe the birds and insects quietly. The yoga classes are excellent and very inspiring in this gorgeous surrounding. The food is delicious, cooked mostly from the products of the eco farm. The personnel is absolutely dedicated and adorable !! I recommend for people in search of simplicity and beauty!
Better with a car even though I didn’t have one and managed a few excursions ( taxis are expensive and scarce !)”
“Magical location. Even during rainy season you will have the best views. Woke up every morning for sunrise and it always paid off. Wendy was super welcoming and always ready to help us with anything.”
“Genesis was very nice and responsive to all our requests and questions.
This is a lovely location,
The rooms are simple but more than adequate. El Castillo area has more to offer than I thought and nice to be away from the overcrowded La Fortuna. The breakfast was very good, with 2 choices.”
