Book a hotel near Cano Negro National Wildlife Refuge, Alajuela Province

"We absolutely loved the kindness and thoughtfulness of people at the resort. The food, rooms, and pools were amazing! I only wish our plane had arrived on time so we hadn’t missed the first day. Our only suggestion is to maybe change up the music in the dining area a little more. "

"Overall I agree with other reviews, even the negative ones. We stayed during the low season, so I don’t know what it’s like when the occupancy is 50% and more. We loved how private it felt, and staff were very accommodating and put a lot of care to make us feel very special. Top 3 highlights are amazing view of volcano, staff and thermal pool/swim up bar & jacuzzi. Negatives are like others said, there’s a very busy road just beyond the property, so if you wake up early and hang out on the balcony, all you hear is a traffic noise from there unfortunately. But the volcano view is amazing, so I guess you just have to tune it out. Robes and pool towels need some updating - robe was very worn out and fraying at many parts. Pool towels aren’t as comfy as room towels, which is somewhat expected, but they can definitely improve on making them smell better. Also, maybe because it is low season, I was woken up by cranking noise one morning, most likely doing some renovations in other rooms. I understand it’s the perfect time to do it, but maybe not at 6am. I loved how the jacuzzi areas were set up, but only 1 out of 4 was warm enough for me to sit in - maybe because not enough guests were there to keep all 4 nice and hot, but I wish they let us know about it. You might think I have lots to complain about, but I think they are more about being there in low season. I would still give them 4-5 stars for their excellent services - they went above and beyond, and I would love to go back."

"Highly recommend"

"Extremely clean and eco friendly. Rooms were clean and comfortable. Staff were courteous and helpful "

"My family and I had the BEST time!!! Patrick was awesome. He helped with arranging any tours we wanted, pointed us on where to eat, and where to go if we needed anything. The house was unbelievable. Plenty of space for the seven of us, gorgeous views...everthing we could ask for. And the daily breakfasts were sooooo good. I can't say enough good things about Patrick and the Red Sunset. It is truly the best!!!"

"Amazing hotel with Arenal Volcano views. It's a very big resort and our rooms was very far away but the resort offers transportation to and from our room. The room was big and spacious. Food was great at the restaurant, at the bar and also for breakfast. Thermal pools were amazing and relaxing. The only issue we had was that they don't offer transportation to the volcano viewpoint or to the lake. So we walked up, 2 miles uphill to the viewpoint, and let me tell you that my chest started to hurt and I got really scarred. I do not recommend this hike. We paid good money for this resort and this should be included. Aside from this upsetting issue everything else was great. "
