+ Arenal Lodge was pure tranquility—secluded, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home, and the stillness of the surroundings was unmatched. I had some of the best sleep of my life there. Waking up to a breathtaking view of the volcano from the pool felt surreal—there’s truly nothing like it in the area.

+ The road to the lodge was washed out and we couldn’t get our car up the steep incline with hairpin turns. One of the men had to get our car passed that area but left us to drive the rest of the way up the dangerous road. The view was amazing, but the chalet was dated and old. Staff was amazing but limited.

+ Beautiful views, if you stay in the rooms on the top of the hill. The view of Arenal is amazing. The staff were friendly and helpful when asked. Good : View, Quiet Environment, Friendly Staff, well maintained gardens Neutral : Vehicle 100% required, Some parts of the hotel clearly need a bit of updating or repair, but mostly not too serious. Bad : Food (not terrible, but not good), Price, should be closer to 100$ per night considering you really have to leave to enjoy the area or get good food, services offered at the hotel front desk are very high, including transportation and tourist activities in the area (this won't impact you if you make arrangements yourself) Overall, if you want to see the view, maybe call ahead and get a drink around sunset there, but otherwise this place is probably not your best option.

+ This property is deceiving!!!! Travelers beware!! The address listed is not the address to the hotel. It takes an additional 10 minutes up a very dangerous mountain road to reach the hotel. Their rooms are extremely dated and old. Travelers stay away! Complete false advertisement. When we arrived, we were told the hot tub was not working. We asked for some type of accommodation or compensation for the inconvenience and they refused to accommodate us. We didn't stay for our second night due to the disappointment and their deceitful ways. They refused to refund us for our last night stay even though we canceled 24hours prior to leaving. Don't stay here!! The photos are completely deceiving and inaccurate. They won't refund you if anything is not as expected. Complete disappointment.

+ Get the included breakfast. Quality restaurant on site. The property was not crowded, often times we were the only people at the pool or the restaurant. The views are amazing. Rooms are comfortable.

Beautiful property + Our stay at the lodge was wonderful! It’s an older property with lots of charm. Views are beautiful! Room was large and we loved time on the balcony in the hanging chair. Board games and chess and checkers for some good family time. Pool was beautiful and chilly for those hot days. Restaurant had good food and the team was flexible with times (we came in at 2 after activities and they served us lunch, which was much appreciated!). Loved our stay! Saw coati, hummingbirds, lots of cool insects and a tayra on property. Recommend driving to the lodge in the daylight. Very close to Mistico Hanging Bridges.

+ Great place, but the power was out for 12 hours. Additionally, the road to get to the hotel is quite arduous.

+ Had an absolutely wonderful time at Hotel Arsenal Lodge. I couldn’t get enough of all the pretty flowers all over the property and the room with the breathtaking views of the volcano! We were a family of 5 and the room was spacious and comfortable. The property is family run and felt very welcoming from the moment I checked in. The owner was so kind to make a beautiful bouquet for my mom’s 70th birthday and arrival to the hotel. I really wanted a bouquet with local flowers and couldn’t really it online. I was so ecstatic when I saw the bouquet with tropical flowers. I’m still touched by this, thank you Mrs Terry. The property is a gem for nature lovers. 100% recommend.
