Hotel Lomas del Volcán

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent
"Love the property. The restaurant faced the Arenal volcano. You would have breakfast with the amazing view of the volcano. The property was well kept with beautiful flowers, nature and fauna all around. The pool was awesome too. I enjoywd that rhe cabins were independent and not atrached amd gave more privacy and less noise (from the room next door). The cabins were cleaned daily and although the cabins should their roustic decor, but everything was clean, beds were comfortable and no funky odors. They even have a humidifier in the room which made a huge difference. If we go back, we definitely look forward to staying at Lomas again. "
