The hotel was pretty and the thermal waters were super nice! The hot pools are small though so if there are too many people, it can feel crowded. Beds could be more comfortable, but overall we were happy with our stay.

Amazing stay. Our cottage had everything we needed, the breakfast was fantastic. But the thermal pools was the best part of our stay, so relaxing. We also booked a horse ride and it was by far the highly of our trip, our group rode on the Arenal river, unforgettable memories.

Arenal Paraíso Resort truly lives up to its name—it’s a paradise! The cabin we stayed in was incredibly spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The views of the surrounding nature and volcano were absolutely breathtaking. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of Thermo Mineral Hot Springs pools—there were so many to choose from, and they were all so relaxing. There are even areas designed for kids, making it a great spot for families. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

We were very exited to come to this place . But Randy on the front desk was very rude and unpleasant to talk to . He give us the information about our room and every thing but his attitude toward us was like he was mad to be there . First time come to this hotel and were received in a very disrespectful way and we got a very rude person just to start our stay . No good for business .

The grounds are beautiful and view of the volcano once the clouds cleared was amazing. Great breakfast. Shuttle service in the rain was great. Seemed understaffed however and a few things needed repair.
