"Nepenthe is a gem. You need to grab this stay for as long as it stays a gem, the owners are getting older and are actively trying to sell. Make this trip, you will not regret it. Stay for the week, there is plenty to do around Arenal, do not spend hours driving that you could spend listening to the howler monkeys, watching the toucans every morning, or enjoying the oropendola living their day.

"This place is an absolute gem. If you’re considering taking a moment away in the jungle to be with nature, live on a farm, eat amazing food, try different spa treatments, hike, yoga; this is the place! I stayed farm side which was cool at night. It’s a short hike or shuttle ride to the hotel part where dinner or spa activities are. You will not be disappointed. I’m going back and I can’t wait to experience it again. "
"The Lost Iguana Resort and Spa was one of the most unique resort hotels I’ve ever been to. It’s uniquely situated in the beautiful, lush Costa Rican mountains next to a dormant volcano. There’s nature trails, beautiful gardens, and even a hanging metal bridge on the property. The resort is also restricted from public access as there is a security gate to enter.

"Don’t even look at another resort, this place is it!!! Absolutely breathtaking rooms and property and the staff make your stay extremely special and personalized. It was the best experience I’ve had traveling and I’ve been around the world. Worth every penny spent and will definitely stay at Amor Arenal again!!"
"I recently stayed at Tabacón and the experience was absolutely amazing from start to finish. The staff here is truly outstanding every single person I encountered was friendly, attentive, and went above and beyond to make me feel at home. What really stood out to me was how they all remembered my name, which added such a personal touch. Special thanks to Keylor and Oscar, who went out of their way to make the stay extra memorable.
The resort itself is breathtaking. The natural hot springs are...
"The property is fantastic. You are in the middle of the rainforest with wildlife all around. There are lots of activities to fill your time, or you can lounge around one of the pools or in your own plunge pool. The spa services were excellent."
"Dinner at the restaurant is fantastic! The Chocolate tour (5 min walk) was a great mid morning tour and very interesting - make and eat your own chocolate! The walk up to La Fortuna was challenging so ask for a ride of you need one. The owner was incredibly helpful and was able to get me a day pass to Baldi Springs for the locals rate :) "
"I absolutely loved my stay at Arenal Kioro. The property felt very safe, was spotless throughout, and incredibly convenient for exploring the area. The grounds are beautiful with stunning views, the staff was warm and welcoming, and the breakfast buffet was absolutely delicious. I couldn’t have asked for a better experience!"
