Arenal Volcano Inn

Good hotel in general, with good infrastructure. We stayed at the Family room which is basically a bungalow for yourself. The room is spacious, the kitchen and sitting area also very nice. We cannot comment on many of the services as it rained continuously during our stay. The restaurant and breakfast are not bad, There was construction ongoing jsut adjacent to our room which made it a bit uncomfortable as it started early in the morning (after complaining, we gained 30 minutes the following day). Location is close to everything if you have a car. Cannot comment on the view due to the weather.

I stayed here two nights as part of a tour group. Overall, I thought the hotel was nice. It’s among a lot of tropical plants and trees and if it’s clear, you have a decent view of the volcano. I sat by the pool at sunrise and sunset and listened to the birds making a heck of a lot of noise! The room had two queen beds, a tile floor, a huge walk-in shower that would’ve held six people, and a refrigerator with a small freezer compartment up top. The AC worked great, as did the hot water. Earlier reviews were correct, in that you are not supposed to flush toilet paper down the toilet, it goes in a trash container next to the toilet. It might be too much information, but based on other reviews, I brought some of my own toilet paper! I had several meals at the restaurant and while it wasn’t five star dining, the food was overall pretty decent. The staff was, to a person, over the top nice. The only negative to me was the WiFi was horribly slow. I could do texts and email but web browsing was very bad.
