The staf was very friendly and helpful. The villa we stayed in was a climb, which I was not expecting. We are great full that we did not get one that was higher. It appeared that would have required the assistance of a mountain goat. Lol Seriously, it would have been too difficult fir us to access. The room was roomy and open. It is in need of cleaning and paint. The deck is small with two chairs, and not room enough to move them for a better view or to sit together. The doors require a key on both sides. So, leave the key in the lock in your room, incase of an emergency and won't need to be searching for the key to get out.

Clean, breakfast was good, staff very friendly and eager to assist. Working hard to improve the grounds. Excellent for the price range. not the Hilton, nor the price, so very good for the price range. Need a vehicle if you wish to go to town as too far to walk. La Fortuna is a great place to visit, lots to do and many restaurant choices in town..12 min drive. Nice pool area, hiking and waterfalls at your door step.

Arenal Waterfall Lounge is close to many restaurants but you need a car or uber to get to many of them. The hotel is near the waterfall and very convenient of that is something you want to see. The property was clean, the breakfast good, and as some others have mentioned it is in need of some upgrades and renovations. Overall, the stay was adequate.

This was a more rustic property, not updated at all. The rooms were barebones and the water pressure spotty. The pool was in disrepair in areas, but clean. The breakfast service was great. Nothing to do in the area and we needed to drive to anything we needed to do. Overall it was just fine for a few days.

The view from the pool overlooking a rain forest valley was fantastic. Breakfast includes 3 options with very small serving sizes. The food was good, just not enough. We purchased additional eggs for $1 each to make due. The rooms are much better in the photos. If you like to watch TV prior to going to sleep, bring your own, the rooms do not include TVs. We were there celebrating our anniversary and the walls are paper thin. We could hear quiet conversations in the adjoining rooms and hallway. And the bed was the loudest, squeakiest bed I have ever slept on. This did not improve our marital status. Also, room cleaning is not standard and must be requested 24hrs in advance. We would get new towels as needed by going to the front desk and seeing if anyone was there to get us new one. 50/50 if the desk was manned. Overarching, the property needs a major overhaul to be competitive in todays market. I would give the location 4 stars, the food 3 stars, the facilities 1 star, and the staff 1-2 stars.

I had a great stay at Arenal Waterfall Lodge and I’m looking forward to going there again in the future! Great rooms, view, and breakfast. It was walking distance from the Arenal Waterfall which was very convenient, and a short drive from everything else in the area. The view from the hotel really made it stand out.

We stayed two days at the Arenal Waterfall Lodge. The cabin we stayed in was not featured in any of the pictures, but it was fairly nice. There were 3 queen sized beds, a full kitchen, and a nice balcony overlooking the jungle. The cabin was located approximately 1/2 mile down a steep and very rough Rd. It was nicely cleaned when we arrived and welcoming. Our greeting was very nice but limited in detail. The pool appeared clean, but we did not swim in it. The staff were all very polite, well-mannered and friendly. The breakfasts were very good. The property appeared aged, but the staff was working diligently at cleaning up the brush and making the large area more beautiful. The lodge was within walking distance of the Arenal waterfall and had many hiking trails to enjoy. We typically like rustic places to stay, but the beetles were a little overwhelming. The beetles, which measured approximately 1 to 2cm long and 1 centimeter wide we're harmless but annoying. At night the beetles flew around and ran into the walls and occasionally landed on the bed. During the day the Beetles would crawl on the floor, and we would kill them. At the end of two days there were approximately 20 beetles that we killed by stepping on them. There was no maid service during our stay, and that would not have mattered if it weren’t for a need to sweep up the beetles we stepped on.
