“Great place and location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 May 2013 NEW

We met the owners and they are really good people. The view and the setting alone are worth the stop. Bar, restaurant, gift shop and hotel all in one without the "touristy feel". Could only give 4 stars because our itineryary didn't allow us to spend the night or eat. We did get a tour of the rooms and I... More

“Parrots and Peace...ful Place”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 4 May 2013

Toad Hall was wonderful. We stayed in the "Cowboy" room where we were treated to a little bird banging to get in every morning. The rooms are decorated in great style and the views of the lake are spectacular. There was a tree that was covered with parrots every morning. The hotel is about 30 minutes from town and is... More

“What a cute place!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 29 April 2013

We were driving around Lake Arenal in late February and saw the signs for Toad Hall. We were curious and stopped for a cup of coffee. The view from above the lake is lovely. Jeff showed us around a few of the rooms. It looked like a really fun place to relax, walk down to the lake and stage a... More

“Didn't stay here, but watch for...”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2013

We did not stay here, but visited the "gift shop" store on our way from Arenal to Tamarindo after seeing signs every kilometer or so. Reminded me a little of "South of the Border" on I-95. The drive is beautiful and we stopped for coffee - alas the cafe was still brewing their coffee. We grabbed a couple bags of... More

Hi, This is Lydia from Toad Hall. I am so glad you enjoyed our view it is very special! One of the few places left on the lake where the Jungle is still intact and had not been cleared prior to protection, so because of that we have an abundance of Jungle wild life. I am sorry that your experience... More

“Great place to stop on the way to the arenal!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 20 April 2013

We had a lot of fun here. We stopped for a few coronas and has some delicious guacamole there too! They also have a trail by the bar so you can walk out into the forest. The gift shop has some cool things but a little overpriced.
