We really enjoyed our stay here! We stayed 4 nights, and our stay was so peaceful and beautiful with a view of the volcano! We had an issue with bugs in our room, I assume this was due to a small crack in the wood boards of the walls. The staff is so friendly, and they were so helpful and explained the area too. My only other complaint was that they ask you what time you want to have breakfast each day, but you have to check in and then wait 15 minutes for them to get it to you, so just be prepared to wait a bit. Overall we loved it and would stay here again!

We booked in the cabins/villas and our room overlooked the Arenal volcano! The room was MASSIVE, very clean, modern bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. If you are going to either Arenal and/or La Fortuna, stay HERE. There are regular rooms in the hotel building, but the extra bit for the cabin was the best. The free breakfast was delicious, plentiful, and cooked to order. The WiFi worked well. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and spoke enough English to do the job. Shout out to Restaurant 1 block away - Raul Castano - fabulous dinner also facing the volcano.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities
We were there 3 nights and several times we requested the room to be cleaned and it never was, which is especially important due to the requirement to put toilet paper in the bin. Our toilet was not working properly and they never fixed it. The walls are very thin and neighbors and the road were noisy.

My rating is this low only because I cannot select zero stars. I booked two rooms and a theft occurred in our room while staying in the Lodge. Someone, with a key, went in while we were out, opened a suitcase and stole jewelry. We spoke with another guest and the same thing happened to his wife at approximately the same time. We both complained to the manager and she said to "file a police report" before they would investigate. We both did and the police came and questioned the manager. She denied the theft even occurred. Our follow up with her received a blatant denial and refusal to even question her housekeeping staff. If you value your security and safety, I caution you to think again before staying at the Arenal Roca Lodge & Bungalows.

Though we loved the grounds and area, the lodge room was very outdated and had a weird smell to it. The breakfast was nice and the staff, when we did see them were helpful, especially Bless! The view is worth it!

Liked: Staff & service
The staff was very hospitable and kind. I had a difficult stay in my bungalow because there were so many ants. Geckos would poop and ants would come and it was a huge ongoing problem. The bungalows are very rustic. It’s freezing at night event in the high 60’s because there is nothing between you and the forest except some wood paneling. When it rained it leaked through the roof. It wasn’t the most comfortable stay. The cycaidas were so loud and the geckos chirps….its definitely for a certain type of person and that person wasn’t me.

Great view of Arenal Volcano

Clean motel with comfortable beds, plush towels and AC. Staff is super friendly and helpful. Delicious breakfast with 3 options to choose from that include coffee and juice. Ample parking Pool is clean but inquire as to which days they empty and refill so as not to plan an afternoon poolside in an empty pool 😊 conveniently located to LaFortuna and many activities it is close to main road so noise may be an issue for some
