Hotel Arenal Glamping

Pros: Great place with lovely view of the volcano. The swimming pool is amazing and Ariagna is a fantastic employee who deserves recognition! She could not have done more to help us with information in general but especially with things to do and visit. Highly recommended is the Trail Mariolas nearby. One caveat, don't cross the manager (Marie if my memory serves me right). I made the fatal mistake of sitting on the counter in the breakfast area only to be told off like a child in a fairly aggressive manner. You could have made your point without making feel like a delinquent :-)

Pros: Great location out of town but only a 5 minute drive there. This place was very relaxing and we saw both three and two-toed sloths on the grounds as well as agoutis and a Mottmott bird. The breakfast was the best we had in our 2 week stay in Costa Rica.

Simply perfect!

Pros: Everything we’d hoped for and more. Peaceful so you can enjoy the wildlife there, but within a 15-20 min walk in to the centre of La Fortuna. But take a torch! Loved the balcony overlooking the forest and listening to the birds every morning. Pool was great too. Super comfy bed and nice shower.

Pros: Everything. The whole experience was perfect. Amazing staff, breakfast was an extra, and the glamps were so cool and comfy!

Excellent glamping experience in beautiful surroundings

Pros: beautiful surroundings, quiet and peaceful, we felt like we had our own nature sanctuary! Lovely staff, super helpful and friendly

Cons: N/A

Great facilities , superb setting and exceptionally friendly staff .

Pros: Beautiful gardens , pool and spectacular view of the volcano . Exceptionally friendly and welcoming staff . The best of our entire trip . Nice comfortable tent with shower and outdoor seating . Good breakfast buffet with convenient timings ( we went to the hanging bridges and came back for breakfast) A reasonable distance to walk into La Fortuna to eat in the evening .

Cons: While a little expensive for glamping , the quality of the tents and the overall environment made it well worthwhile. While a small fridge was available , we did think that an electric hob ( rather than a charcoal bbq) with a larger fridge and crockery etc would enhance the facilities on offer .

Pros: We loved our stay at Hotel Arenal Glamping. Its in an amazing setting and everything is incredibly well done. The tents are immaculate and the showers were amazing for a tent! The pool area were great and the whole place had such a relaxed vibe. Dani and all the staff we super friendly and helpful. We even saw Toucans and Sloths at the hotel. Loved it.

Cons: Could have more options for drinks and snacks to safe going into town.

My favorite stay in Costa Rica

Pros: The staff were all incredibly helpful and friendly. They helped arrange spa treatments and trips. They even lit a camp fire for us and provided marshmallows! Great breakfast too. The glamping felt very luxurious with the tents well spaced and private. Accomodation was clean with daily fresh linen service. The al-fresco gym and yoga deck is a nice touch!

The highlight is the staff.

Pros: The staff are exceptionally friendly and helpful. We took their recommendations for a sloth tour which was excellent and also a restaurant in La Fortuna which was good. The pool is clean and a reasonable size given the size of the property.

Cons: The rooms could benefit from a small refrigerator. The towels for both the bathroom & pool are very small. I paid £200 GBP per night which I thought was over priced, however this seems to be the case everywhere in Costa Rica. We were visiting on our honeymoon and this was not acknowledged in any way.

Perfect location and idyllic setting. Can’t fault it!

Pros: Absolutely everything! The staff were beyond friendly and just the most helpful and kind people. The pool was gorgeous, breakfast was lovely and the atmosphere was top notch. Also the birds and nature everywhere you look was just amazing. I’d come back and stay in a heartbeat.

Cons: The only things I could fault were the beds were a little soft and also I found the daily leaf blower quite irritating! (Potentially two things that were more personal preference than actual dislikes!)
