I had a great stay at Arenal Waterfall Lodge and I’m looking forward to going there again in the future! Great rooms, view, and breakfast. It was walking distance from the Arenal Waterfall which was very convenient, and a short drive from everything else in the area. The view from the hotel really made it stand out.

Beautiful property. Is it a 5 star resort no but for the area and country it was. It provided my daughter and I a wonderful place to stay, feel safe, relax, and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. There was maintenance going on but nothing that dampened our experience. They are expanding and thats great. All the workers were friendly and ecen when they were doing landsacaping they never came to our lodge when we were home so there was no feeling of our privacy being invaded. The staff was friendly and helped with suggestions of places to go. They provided us with everything we needed to enjoy our trip.

Great stay at Arenal Waterfall.

Great location and price. The complimentary breakfast and observation trail makes it even better deal. The only down side was the squeaky old mattresses and neighbors running water for an hour at night.

Katrina

Liked: Staff & service
Pros: Very spacious, friendly staff, unbeatable views, good local typical breakfast. Cons: No weather stripping on doors so LOTS of bugs get it. Had to ask the staff the clean off the spider webs on the chandeliers. Outdated and worn furniture. If you can handle a very rustic feel and don't mind fighting bugs that are drawn by lights, then this place is great. The views are fantastic. Not close to town and you must have an AWD car to get around.

Clean, breakfast was good, staff very friendly and eager to assist. Working hard to improve the grounds. Excellent for the price range. not the Hilton, nor the price, so very good for the price range. Need a vehicle if you wish to go to town as too far to walk. La Fortuna is a great place to visit, lots to do and many restaurant choices in town..12 min drive. Nice pool area, hiking and waterfalls at your door step.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, room comfort

Stay away if you like comfort, A/C, H20, and WiFi.

We stayed 3 nights. 2 nights we did not have WiFi, one night we did not have power (no a/c and no windows to open for air flow), and one night we did not have any water (and we really needed showers after day excursions, let alone use the toilet). The bed was not comfortable...we sunk toward the middle. It was not a good experience...we do not recommend.
