I enjoyed my stay, and that is actually a lot to say, about a hotel. Not any one particular thing, although the staff were excellent, both in their jobs and their attitudes. They even dealt with LaFortuna's Christmas crush with equilibrium. Returning is definitely on my agenda, although maybe not at Christmas next time.

It was a mistake booking here. It's basically a cheap motel with hot springs that aren't hot. Thin walls and lots of noise. I was lucky to get a parking spot, but I arrived early. I hardly slept. There are lots of hot springs hotels nearby.

Excellent beautiful property!! A great value for affordable price. We LOVED the Rainforest Cafe on site - food and drinks are wonderful and staff was lovely-- and the hot springs on site were also wonderful. Rooms were clean and comfortable. No frills but totally fine for 2 adults and 2 young kids. The staff were helpful. If you aren't fussy, this is a great place. One thing to consider is that if you don't have a car, it isn't walkable so youll need to call a taxi (nothing is too far though). Not a big deal but FYI. Amazing view of Arenal right in front of you at the restaurant.

Nice hot spring water pools. Top one is the warmest but you can still sit for a long period of time. Rooms are basic. Ours had a double and single bed with a nice bathroom and sitting area outside. Had to ask for a small refrigerator, but they provided one. No coffee pot, kettle, nor microwave. Private restaurant that's pretty good at the road, but not much else within walking distance.

10/10 Super Bueno: La ubicación es genial, si esta despejado el dia podrás observar el volcan super cerca, destaca la cercania de los principales parques extremos del arenal, puedes incluso ir caminando a ellos. El hotel es pequeño, la habitación en lo personal fue pequeña, pero suficiente para pasar la noche, lo que le da el plus son las piscinas termales demasiado limpias justo a unos pasos de tu habitación, la atención del personal destaca y el restaurante rain forest muy recomendable, sirven desayunos deliciosos .

Hotel Palmera Real-aguas termales

las piscinas muy bonitas, no estaban atestadas de gente asi que podian disfrutarse bien, el agua a buena temperatura (desde tibia a caliente). Las habitaciones tenian olor a humedad, y eso hacia muy incomoda la estadia. Las camas regular. Sabanas, toallas muy limpias y disponibles para hacer recambios, personal muy agradable.
