Located 14 km from Arenal Volcano National Park, Lomas del Volcan offers lush gardens, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. Each air-conditioned cabin has free Wi-Fi and flat-screen cable TV.

Accommodation at Hotel Lomas del Volcan is set in spacious wooden cabins with terraces overlooking the gardens. Each one has a fridge, coffee maker and bathroom with a hairdryer and free toiletries. When we arrived I saw one of the most breath taking views ever. The volcano is so close and makes a crazy impression. I could just stare at it. I wish we could stay longer. Such a peaceful and calm environment, breath taking view on the volcano, well maintained gardens, fantastic pool. So much wildlife- we could hear hundreds of birds all the time. I recommend visiting nearby restaurants as there are so many just a few minutes away. The only thing I didn’t like was a dinner at the hotel restaurant- it was expensive and really not too tasty. Very „Americanized” menu. I would rather have something local and simple. Breakfasts were wonderful though.

Set in Costa Rica’s Central Volcanic Valley, El Silencio Lodge & Spa Costa Rica features 500 acres of private tropical forest reserve. It offers a spa and stylish Suites with stunning mountain views.

The area is ideal for hiking, yoga and meditation. This eco-luxury hotel is close to Juan Castro Blanco National Park and the Poas Volcano National Park. Amazing service, incredible food! It's a little expensive but really worth it! My dad really liked the yoga class, we saw beautiful birds from our room.

Nayara Gardens is a luxury boutique hotel and spa set against the panoramic backdrop of the Arenal Volcano, surrounded by Costa Rican Rainforest. Private bungalows have a private terrace with a plunge pool. Everything. All the staff were amazing, the room was stunning and the bed comfortable. The restaurants were lovely and food delicious. Being able to see sloths from many parts of the property added to the experience. Special mention to Claudia & Isaac who both helped make our stay really special.

All the staff were very friendly and helpful, Esteban was very helpful and shared with me some beautiful location that I can visit. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying at Chato Arenal on my next visit to Costa Rica.
