Muelle Hotels

Pros: Basically Everything

Cons: There was no gym facility!!! Hopefully on my return there will be one

Pros: They made every effort to make us feel comfortable and even upgraded our room/bungalow. The thermal waters felt great and our bartender made every effort to please us. Breakfast was simple, but appetizing. I wished we had stayed here more time. Thank you!

Pros: Great location, very customer-centric, convenient to fun activities, interesting tours, and good restaurants

Cons: Breakfast and coffee not available until 6:30. Activities have early start times so breakfast at least by 6 would be better

Pros: Comfortable and luxury rooms, great volcano views.

Cons: Food at rhe bar a little pricey

Pros: I cannot say enough about our stay at the Volcano Lodge and Springs. We booked it because the rainy season rates were hard to pass up and because 95% of previous guests rated it Excellent. The room rates were so low that I wondered if the ratings could be true...but I have never had more good things to share about a hotel experience! We stayed in a superior room with an amazing view of Arenal from our porch. The property is designed so that the view from your patio makes you feel like you are at a private villa. All we saw before us was Arenal and lush vegetation. There were people next to us but we never saw or heard them. You couldn't even see where the cars were parked. It was almost total solitude. The room was attractive and clean. The beds were comfortable. The shower was always warm. Our room was only a short walk from the main pool and mineral springs which was a pleasant surprise. Others will have to walk further but the grounds are so nice that the walk is like a stroll in a garden. I read some reviews that the breakfast was adequate but nothing special. I have no idea what they were talking about! To me it was a wonderful daily brunch. We stayed 4 nights and looked forward to each morning. Most food items stayed the same but how can you complain about having fresh bananas, pineapple, papaya, and watermelon, three different breads for toasting, pancakes, scrambled eggs, rice and beans, sweet plantains, lunch meat and cheese, a waffle station and made to order egg station with 6 toppings for omelets, OJ and Mango / Banana juice, and coffee to pick from? There were also two breakfast breads each day that varied and one or two different Costa Rican hot items each day that included small sausages, chicken or sausages in a creamy tomato sauce, and several types of what they called "hash"…potato based one time and green bean based another. To top it off, the restaurant has a great view of Arenal and the pool / mineral springs area and an attentive and cheerful staff. They even attached their old bananas to a nearby tree each morning to attract birds! The pool was clean and the mineral springs area very relaxing. They just added a second hot springs and bar. The grounds are filled with beautiful plants and fruit trees with a running / walking nature trail that they are just getting going. It was a bit confusing but we loved it…especially watching the intricate world of leaf cutting ants! Bottom line...you will love this place!

Pros: Great pool, amazing staff, very clean. Good location.

Cons: Wifi was weak if some places, but not a big deal!

Pros: Value. Cleanliness.

Cons: Room is small

Pros: We loved the hotel! Too bad we only stayed one night because they were booked. The photos in the internet does no justice.The staff was very nice and everything was very clean. The room was large and it felt like a luxury hotel. The garden was very pretty and very well kept. The view of the volcano was beautiful. My daughter and her husband got a massage at the spa and they said the setting was beautiful in the lush gardens next to a river. The hot spring pool are drained and new water is put in in the morning. Loved everything about the hotel. Only regret is that we didn't stay there more days. We went the next day to another hotel that was more expensive and was not as nice.

Pros: Great location. Unbeatable views of Volcan Arenal. Wonderful pools and grounds. Great restaurant. Large clean air-conditioned rooms.

Pros: It was very aitentic orgsnic farm, all the personal are very frendly , the cabin and food was much beter that we expect . We enjoy the walking in the jungle explain us all rhe kind of fruts and vegetsbles and then all that we see it become in our brekfaat, including the fresh milk and eggs from their organic cows and chiken We think once you stay there you dont have to hire trails walking becouse there are several excelent and not turist way.

Pros: The hotel location was convenient, relatively quiet and it was easy to come and go throughout our stay. The room was very clean, bathroom was nice. We had a fridge which was helpful and a balcony to dry out our clothes. The wifi worked very well.

Cons: La Fortuna seemed safe, but just a note that there wasn't always someone sitting at the front desk. No breakfast included and the staff was nice, but one of the staff members didn't have particular recommendations beyond basic tourist stuff in town
