This hotel is amazing! The bungalows are lovely and private, with your own little front porch. They provide coffee and a refrigerator as well. The included breakfast buffet is quite extensive and very good. The hot springs are such a great perk, with seven or eight individual pools to choose from, plus the large pool with a swim-up bar. The onsite spa has some great treatment options as well. The grounds are extensive and full of gorgeous trees and flowers, lush with vivid colors and life. Plus, you can see Arenal Volcano at any angle. Incredible!

Amazing hotel. I liked it so much. Very nice facilities, big and beautiful garden with pool and hot springs, friendly staff and delicious food. I consider it to be more than 3 stars.

      The pillows sucked but the beds were good. The blankets and lack of towels were negative

      The hot springs, food, and service was great tho.

      We had a room directly on the street so you could hear some trucks passing by in the morning. Also our apartment was located directly next to a quite ugly container which was disturbing our view on the volcano.

      We liked the thermal pools. They even get cleaned in the morning. The breakfast was good as well with lots of good food to choose. The area is nice. You have a direct view in the volcano and it is not far away from different activities the area has to offer (15 minutes drive to La Fortuna Waterfall and 15 minutes drive to the hiking trail of 1968)

      The air conditioning didn't work, we mentioned it 3 times and it was not fixed during our stay. There was a nest of big ants in the room. We also had to ask to replace the shower head. The view from our room (even though we paid for an upgrade) was towards two old sheds

      The garden is wonderful and really very well maintained. Breakfast is good (except for the bread), with a lot of fresh fruits.

      “Amazing Canopy Tour/Zip Line Experience! ”

      The swim up pool bar allows children which many swim up pool bars do not. This made us avoid that pool but since there’s so many others to choose from, it wasn’t a deal breaker. But I do personally think it would be better policy for that one pool to be adults or older teens only.

      I spent hours researching options when planning the La Fortuna portion of our CR honeymoon, so Hopefully this review saves you time, especially if you’re a new traveler to this region! The property is nicely arranged. There’s one public computer and the WiFi is only available in the reception desk area. If you’re not cool with unplugging in the jungle of Costa Rica, maybe Costa Rica isn’t the place for you. The price compared to the surrounding hotels and resorts is legit for what you get. However- It’s a medium class resort so if your going to La Fortuna primarily for the hot springs and resort experience, then maybe spend the extra money to go to a different resort. Tabacon is the most well known and highest quality/price resort in the region. Baldi, however, is closer to town and, based on recommendations from local Ticos as well as photos and research I did for this trip, it’s the best one in town. We plan to go there next time we visit (but probably only for one night bc we are budget conscious ;) But.... if your traveling to the La Fortuna/Arenal Volcano region for hot springs AND the eco tourism (horseback riding to the volcano, zip lining/canopy tours, jungle tours, rafting, etc) then its a solid choice to stay at Paraiso. What you save on lodging you can put towards more adventure activities. The hot springs are pretty cool, we just left feeling like there was only so much hot/warm water soaking you’re going to enjoy when your already in a hot and extremely humid environment (tip: go to Colorado in the winter [Mt. Princeton/Strawberry Park/Glenwood Springs] for the best hot springs experience!). Highlight of our stay: If you know you want to zip line while you’re there, you’ll love this resort! The property’s position has allowed for an incredible zip line setup. The back of the property butts up to an incredibly steep drop off with lush jungle views. There’s 11 separate lines in total.

      This hotel is amazing! The bungalows are lovely and private, with your own little front porch. They provide coffee and a refrigerator as well. The included breakfast buffet is quite extensive and very good. The hot springs are such a great perk, with seven or eight individual pools to choose from, plus the large pool with a swim-up bar. The onsite spa has some great treatment options as well. The grounds are extensive and full of gorgeous trees and flowers, lush with vivid colors and life. Plus, you can see Arenal Volcano at any angle. Incredible!

      Very old cabin. Breakfast not worthy, with flies on the fruits. Hot springs ok, but not very clean water

      Near Arenal and tabacon hot springs (where we recommend a day-use with dinner)

      We had a two bed cabin for 5 which was too small so we moved to 3 single cabins. There are no tables in the cabins which meant that you had to eat in the restaurant or pool bar

      The location was good and the hot thermal pools fun
