We spent 3 nights in Arenal Kioro and if you are staying 3 or more, be warned that the hotel is far from town, the hotel does not offer a courtesy service van and there is only one restaurant on the hotel premises. The pool bar menu and restaurant menu are the same which means ordering dinner from the same... More

We got to the hotel with our group of 10 at night. The huge lobby was unbelievably beautiful. We first went to the the open dining room and had an incredible dinner. When we got to our room our jaws dropped open, the room was abut 900 sg ft! It had a seperate area with a single bed and desk,... More

we spent 3 nights in Arenal Kioro and we could have stayed al least 3 more. A very beautifull property with an amazin garden. The rooms are very big, comfortable cosy, with 2 terraces and lovely view to the vulcano. We were lucky to have a all clear day and saw him for a all day from every where. Unfurtunately... More

The rooms appear to be built in the 1970's and decorated in the 1980's. I was very surprised to find out that the hotel was opened in December 2006. What where they thinking? What is with the outside hot tub placed inside the room and just a few feet away from the bed? Speaking of beds, that was the single... More

Hotel is located on the slopes of the volcano. The view is absolutely fantastic, maybe among the best if not the best in the area. Each unit is wide and luxurious. The hotel has its own hot springs and a fabulous restaurant. The price is above moderate, but we thought worth the quality of lodging. If you are looking for... More

The staff was very nice and the view was great. We had the best view in the area - hands down. It seems like the view and amenities are the most important aspects to a hotel in this area so I highly recommend this property. We went in the pool and in their fake hot springs which were nice. I... More

We loved are very large rooms over looking the volcano and the beautiful grounds. It was quiet , peaceful , clean and had everything we needed. The buffet breakfast included had a nice variety and started the day off right. My friends enjoyed their spa visit. The only improvements were that the ping pong table paddles and balls need replaced... More

We had a perfect view of the volcano which appears to be covered in cloud cover except one day a year when they took the picture for the resort. This area has beautiful flowers and enjoyed wandering the grounds. Our first night we ate at their restaurant and the menu was limited but the few items we chose were excellent.... More
