Enjoyed our stay here! Lots to do near this hotel. The little cafe next to the pool has great lattes and cappuccinos. The breakfast was okay. We enjoyed our dinner at one of the offered restaurants near the gravel area with the fire pits. The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Quiet, beautiful family owned property. The breakfast is amazing and surrounded by toucans and parrots along with hummingbirds and other wildlife. Clean rooms with warm showers. Very close to many great food options if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. The family is very kind.

Great place!

We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano right from our porch. Very quiet place with lots of birds. The gardens were beautiful on the property. We had a car so it was a short 5 min drive to La Fortuna.

Our family loved our stay at Brisas Arenal Hotel. It is convenient to town, yet set far enough away to provide a peaceful getaway. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with the walking trail on the property being a great addition. Our room was clean and large. We ate twice at the Soda Tita Rosa down the street for dinner and really enjoyed the family that ran it and the closeness to Brisas. We were incredibly happy with our choice to stay at Brisas and highly recommend it.

We loved being off the main road and the uniqueness of the property. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with nature around us and the view of the Arenal volcano. We enjoyed the hammocks too.

Alexandra

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service
Disliked: Amenities
Staff was friendly, room was very clean. Hotel centrally located, close to Fortuna Waterfall. However, the restaurant is not opened “during the weekday” so this service isn’t offered, making it inconvenient if you were looking to enjoy an evening settled in your hotel. Also, some days of the week breakfast is not offered at the restaurant so they will bring it to your room. No personal toiletries…..shampoo is the same as body wash they said, no conditioner. Towels are very numbered. Very little outdoor lighting at night. Most posted hotel pictures of restaurant or lighted cabin porches is not what you get. Quiet and peaceful though.

In a quiet part of la Fortuna, I’m on the hill. Beautiful garden surrounding the cabanas, full of birds. Nice room with 6 beds, perfect for our family. Water a bit wonky and cloudy out of the tap. We never saw the owner checking in or anyone at all checking out. I would definitely stay there again

We stayed in cabin C5 and the room is spacious and clean. We did have 3 issues (1) the very firm bed which felt like we were sleeping on the spring box and not a mattress; (2) the bathroom door creaked so loudly that we were certain it woke up all our neighbors and the animals outside when we used the bathroom at night and (3) the shower water never got hot, just warm. If you don't mind any of these then the place is fine and a good value for the money.

I have to say for being a off the beaten path property it is one of my top ten places I’ve stayed at in overall comparison.. Starting with the gentlemen that checked us in to the hospitality of the breakfast.. As for location: Amazing.. Getting there is a bit dicey but well worth the drive from La fortuna.. This place is amazing and a defininate come back.. Please tell your guy who checked us in thank you for the map and all the suggestions specially about cacique and the taster.. Those guys are awesome!!!!! Over all 5 Stars.. I’ve been all over US and other countries and gotta say this is top 3…

The cabana was dated and could use a refresh. It had a great porch view on arenal. Decent for the price. The staff was not as helpful as other places we stayed. It was out of town and took a 5 minte drive to get to town so close but far enough away to give you privacy. We drove into to Red Frog for our morning coffee which I recommend.
