Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent
"We loved our stay at Lomas del Volcán and can't recommend it highly enough. One of the best hotels we've stayed at. We received an extremely friendly welcome and throughout our stay nothing was too much trouble for the staff. Breakfast was amazing, with so many exciting options. The bar offered a great menu (we didn't try the restaurant) and the swim-up bar was a real highlight, especially as it was in a heated pool. So cool, with great cocktails and smoothies. Our kids loved the pools and jacuzzi and the onsite hiking trail was fab, we saw several red poison dart frogs! Yoga on Saturday morning was also a real treat, despite the torrential rain! On our last day we finally got a clear view of the peak of the volcano behind the hotel. We were very sad to leave and would love to return some day."

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent
"Noah’s Forest was easily one of the best hotel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived, everything felt luxurious, modern, and incredibly well thought out. The technology throughout the property was impressive, but what really stood out was the level of personal service. The staff was impeccable. They genuinely pay attention to you and learn who you are and what you need, rather than treating you like just another guest. The attention to detail was incredible. One small gesture really stood out. My son and I had an early excursion and wouldn’t have time to sit down for the complimentary breakfast. The staff actually put together a goodie bag for my son to take with him so he wouldn’t miss out. That small gesture meant a lot and says everything about their hospitality. Beautiful property, incredible technology, luxurious accommodations, and a staff that truly cares about their guests. Noah’s Forest exceeded our expectations, and we will absolutely be back!"

10/10 Excellent
"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Absolutely spectacular! Baldi Hot Springs in La Fortuna far exceeded our expectations. The thermal pools and waterfalls are beautifully and thoughtfully designed. Relaxing in the hot water while it rained, surrounded by tropical nature, with an incredible view of Arenal Volcano when the clouds cleared, was unforgettable. We stayed at the Baldi hotel as well. The rooms were cozy, and I highly recommend staying onsite for the full hot springs and waterfall experience. La Fortuna, Costa Rica is an amazing destination with beautiful nature, wildlife tours to see sloths and monkeys, great restaurants, boutiques, shopping and excellent amenities. One of the highlights of our Costa Rica trip. We would absolutely stay at Baldi again! 🌋🌿"
