Lock in a great price for Arenal Paraiso Resort & Spa – rated 8.1 by recent guests!

to get started.

The breakfast was standard, I have to say it was clean and comfortable to stay.

Umesh, United States of America

Buffet breakfast was very nice and had good variety.

Stephanie, Costa Rica

The facilities were well kept up and convenient. The food at the restaurant was ok but over priced, although the complementary breakfast was good.

Jesse, Costa Rica

The hot springs. The breakfast was good and the wait staff in the morning was attentive and quick (unlike the night staff).

Julia, United States of America

The hotel is in cabins on a big properly with lots of love tropical plants.

Sabine, Costa Rica

Excellent location. The restaurant is good, with vegetarian options. The hot springs are the best of the hotel.

Kav, Costa Rica

We loved the resort and everything abt it from our accommodations to the breakfast and wonderful personnel.

Melissa, United States of America

The grounds are beautiful! You have an amazing view of the Arenal volcano. Everything is very well maintained and clean. Our cabin was the perfect size for three people, not too big, not too small. It was nice to sit outside on the little porch and relax in the rocking chairs. Our cabin was along the road, but we didn't notice any road noise. There are plenty of trees and bushes between the cabin and the road to help buffer the sound. And besides, being right on the road gave us an amazing view of the volcano!

Gregory, United States of America

The resort stuff were very nice and service oriented.

Yaniv, Israel

Great views of the volcano, the zip line was fun, the pools were wonderful

The location is on a major highway, very noisy and not a great view. Also, it caters to mostly people coming in tour buses and children as well, so if you're looking to escape tourists, children and noise then this isn't the place for you..
The restaurant was great, breakfast buffet ea's very good and the hot springs were nice.

We went in a private taxi from San jose, the security guard would not allow us to enter and get dropped because it was a private taxi. We had to take our bags and walk to the reception! So remember no drop offs allowed unless it is one of their favoured taxis! What a farce!!!
The breakfast was standard, I have to say it was clean and comfortable to stay.

“Too much rain.”

We stayed during a particularly heavy rain and so our activities were severely curtailed. The rainy season in Costa Rica is not a good time to visit this part of the country if you want to engage in activities geared to chlidren.
The facilities were well kept up and convenient. The food at the restaurant was ok but over priced, although the complementary breakfast was good.

“It was okay but not the best experience I've had.”
- • Leisure trip
- • Solo traveler
- • Standard Double Room with Volcano View
- • Stayed 2 nights
The restaurant's lighting in the evening was so dark that I had to shine my phone flashlight to be able to read the menu. The waiters forgot to give me napkins and also didn't give me a pen to sign the bill :-( Also at the moment there is construction around the pool area which was annoying because they had circular saws operating what supposed to have been a tranquil quiet environment. Also there are most certainly not enough seating areas around the pool. A lot of people including myself had to sit on the ground when trying to hang out at the pool. There is no Wifi in the rooms. And it was weak where they had it. When I tried to use Wifi at the lobby it was in and out of operation.
The hot springs. The breakfast was good and the wait staff in the morning was attentive and quick (unlike the night staff).

Staff is well educated. Seems to be doing their job like a robot. Right and left of a check in and selling tours there is not much knowledge on hand. Cabins are doubled with neighbors and you hear through the walls.
The hotel is in cabins on a big properly with lots of love tropical plants.

In the standard rooms, you can hear everything from the next room, the conversations, the water in the bath, etc, so if you have noisy neighbors you won´t have a pleasant stay. They have other rooms that are separated from each other. The staff at the reception is not very kind.
Excellent location. The restaurant is good, with vegetarian options. The hot springs are the best of the hotel.

We heard everything from the room next door and I mean everything..from them talking, showering and going to the toilet (delightful!). Only one menu throughout whole day and unfortunately food wasn't as good as other places we had already stayed at in Costa Rica.
The view of the volcano was beautiful (although our room also looked onto the main road and a wire fence). Towels are provided when you visit the hot springs/pool area. The springs/ pool area was never overcrowded. Staff very helpful - especially those at reception who helped us book excursions, transfers and even order takeaway ( it was late- we had already eaten at the hotel earlier in the day and didn't want to get a taxi into the town).
