Thr cabins are old and in need of renovation. The AC units are barely functional. The AC units look beat up. The AC remotes do not work. Not enough outlets. The safe in the room has a bad lock. The main door has a broken lock which is hard to lock and unlock. One of the units had a heavy glass pane as the front door. It did not have a handle to help open and close. The bathroom did not have an exhaust. The water pressure was low in the shower. The toilet flush was only partially working. The walk to the hotsprings was slippery and not handicap accessible. The staff are very friendly. The complimentary coffee is excellent. The restaurant with complimentary breakfast had a good variety of traditional foods and good coffee. The pool was great for adults and kids.

We loved the gardens and jungle trail around the hotel. Birds paradise. In addition to a regular pool, hot springs pools were very convenient too. The shower is a bit dated but overall clean and served its purpose. The breakfast was filling and tasty: scrambled eggs, white bread, cheese, rice and beans, sauteed veggies, fruits, yogurt, cereal, coffee. The personnel was polite and patient with all our questions. The view of volcano adds to the overall great impression.

This place is very close to downtown La Fortuna, but stays secluded in lush of tropical nature. It has beautiful views to Arenal volcano, the surrounding area of the property is clean and safe. Or room had clean white towels, hot water in the shower, comfortable enough bed to sleep between all activities that we booked. Fan and AC worked great. There was a small fridge in the room with complimentary water bottle. Also in the bathroom we had all necessary toiletries. Check in was prompt and easy with Yat. He provided a map of the property, explained everything. Our breakfast was included. It was minimal, not many varieties, but it had eggs, cereals, bread, fruits, coffee, juice. The dining area is among tropical garden next to the pool that I haven’t seen anyone to use. We took a walk towards hot springs and didn’t see anyone using them as well, so if you go it will feel very private. The condition is not the best, but looked clean. Overall property met our requirements, it wasn’t any fancy, it needs some upgrades, but it was within our budget.

This was the best stay I had. There were birds an animals everywhere, and at night frogs came out. The food at the hotel was great and the staff were very nice too. They had 2 cats that were super friendly. The pool was great and the hot springs were very nice and warm. The hotel room was clean and spacious. We hope to visit again soon

Absolutely stunning grounds for a fraction of the price of nearby resorts. The staff was accommodating and polite, even bringing out the hotel cat for us to pet while we checked into our room. The room was an adorable bungalow with amazing views of the grounds and a very comfortable mattress. The bathroom also featured a hose shower head which was refreshing after our daytime adventures around Arenal in the heat and humidity. The restaurant on sight was delicious for dinner, and had a wonderful buffet selection each morning as well. We saw lots of wildlife on the grounds and would definitely love to return in the future.

All staff were very helpful & courteous. This is a jungle, room was clean but had strong musty smell. Yat provided a dehumidifier that completely resolved the issue (had to empty every 8 hours). Breakfast was fresh & delicious! Lots of local flavor as well as more western favorites. There are no walkable restaurants, but uber was 3-5$ to most of La Fortuna area. Pool area needs update but water was clean & the few kids that we saw there enjoyed it. Hot springs where very nice, cloudy water but very enjoyable & great way to end long days of hiking the area. Had dinner there one night, it was fine but preferred dinners in La Fortuna. Great price for a very pleasant stay!

We loved our short stay at The Kokoro. Would stay for an extended time if we were staying in the area longer. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We ate onsite and enjoyed our meals. The natural spa on-site was a plus. The grounds are beautiful and full of wildlife. We were able to see frogs, sloths and many birds right on the grounds, with the friendly assistance from the groundskeeper. Our lodge has a great view of the volcano, right from our front window.
