Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel Laguna Arenal

Anna was great! The room had a gorgeous view. We received breakfast every morning which was delicious. I would definitely recommend for anyone who was peace and quiet during their stay in Costa Rica!

Outstanding service, food, and accommodations…..oh and the view is exceptional!

Unique place to stay, sensational uninterrupted views over Lake Arenal. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees outside and sit on your deck in the evening watching flocks of parrots. We stayed in Pod 1 - recommend as has trees closest so you can see the birds right next to you. Amazing hosts Ana and Bastien, immaculate cleaning and care and attention to your guest experience is evident in all the thoughtful touches. Delicious breakfasts and Ana will also cook you dinner on request (highly recommend). 3 local restaurants within walking distance, however car is essential to reach activites (do not miss the Venado Caverns!)

We had a great experience! Hosts went above and beyond. Would highly recommend this hotel but make sure you have a rental car as it’s far

Beautiful views

Vista maravillosa. Room excelente. El trato del staff genial y la comida deliciosa. Excelente experiencia.

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! 🐒

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.

Very relaxing ...great breakfasts... very pleasant and friendly staff..and the view was absolutely gorgeous

We spent 5 days here. If we ever come back to the area, I would definitely stay here again. It is very quiet and beautiful here. The view of the lake and surrounding is incredible. Host is super friendly and informative. Breakfast is delicious. Service is great! A 10 all around.

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.

Wonderful views, good accommodation, lovely breakfast. Very welcoming and helpful.

As with all of the other reviews, the property is excellent and the host is wonderful. Highly recommended.

The morning breakfast was always amazing, the staff cleaned our room everyday and set everything in order, even organizing our things together so they didn’t go missing! The view is absolutely gorgeous

It has been a while since we stayed in such a magical place: from the location, the view, the food. We cannot recommend this hotel enough. Thank you.
