Amazing view of the Arenal Volcano from our large room. Staff was great and very friendly. Food was good. Hot springs were beautiful and felt great. There's a nice swimming pool too. Lush tropical paradise. Would definitely recommend this beautiful place. Cons: Only a couple of things. One, it's hot in Costa Rica, so it would have been nice if they had the AC on in our room BEFORE we opened the door. It was like opening a furnace and took over two hours to cool off. The second thing is that there's not enough light illuminating the sidewalks leading to the suites. Simple sidewalk lighting is urgently needed to prevent someone from falling. Otherwise, it was an awesome facility and we enjoyed our five days there.

The service, rooms, location, facilities were fantastic! We rented 2 rooms. 1 for the adults and 1 for the kids. We could have gotten by with 1 room if desired with 2 Queen beds & 1 Day bed. However the King rooms are upstairs and the Queen downstairs. Nice to have the better view. The tours we booked through the hotel were pricey but 1st class. Everything was fantastic. Would absolutely go again!

Excellent hotel, amazing people, 1st class!!!

When deciding on where to stay in La Fortuna, we asked multiple travel agents where to stay at. I kept hearing Arenal Kioro. I was sure because I knew that the larger hotels like Tabacon, Royal Corin and Nayara were mentioned more frequently, but went ahead and booked the room for my boyfriend and I anyway. I am so happy I did! Arenal Kioro was absolutely amazing! First, everyone was very nice. Our servers taught us Spanish and the bartender, Cesar is the nicest man ever. Next, the room was HUGE and the views are spectacular. The icing on the cake was the food. It was to die for! Breakfast and dinner was amazing every night!!!!!! We did tours during the day so we didn't eat lunch at the hotel. There is not 1 bad thing we could say about this hotel. We'd go back in a heart beat!!!!!

Costa Rica 5 Star

Arenal Kioro is the definition of "Costa Rica 5 Star" This hotel is the CLOSEST to the volcano - it looms over your room and the entire resort. The grounds are beautifully landscaped - but also the natural rain forest begins where the landscaping ends - amazing! The rooms and the views will take your breath away. The rooms are large - in floor space, high ceilings, huge glass doors/windows facing directly to the volcano and the rain forest. The wood doors are gorgeous. The hotel has a nice pool w/ a great deck area, and the hot springs are a series of pools pouring down one into the next - all w/ a view and lushly landscaped. Breakfast (included) was delicious each morning. Other area attractions (Ecoglide zip line, Tabacon Hot Springs, town of La Fortuna) all 10 minutes away. La Fortuna is a $* cab ride away if you are looking for other restaurants or shops. The drive from Liberia to Arenal Kioro is 3.5 hours - but is an adventure/activity in itself - so enjoy it - but on do it during the daylight! Lots of twists and turns. Our family (w/ 2 kids) can not say enough about the positive impression this hotel made on our Costa Rican vacation!
