Was an amazing experience! staff is extremely friendly and knowledgeable. Actual hostel was amazing and the greatest hostel i have ever been in. Definitely worth there very minuscule price difference.

They really helped me, not only offering good stay at reasonable prices, but also helping me plan my vacation there. Front desk staff provided me a broad options of activities and Shuttles, at competitive prices. I could say the same about monteverde backpackers which is a part of the same Hostel network.

After reading what Lonely Planet had to say about Arenal Backpacker's Resort my partner and I were excited to stay at this hostel. When we arrived on the property we were pleased to see that what was written in LP was true. The pool area is beautiful and they have an area with hammocks strung from palm tree to palm... More

This is a nice little spot that isn't too expensive (for Costa Rica). The pool is really fabulous and well-maintained and the dorm room and bathrooms were incredibly clean and nice. The place is close to the town (you can walk). The staff are friendly and helpful. They booked my tours which were OK--it's always better to do your own... More

Their rooms are also nice, but the tent area is too loud until 2 am. I could not sleep well because of party music near the hostel.... More

The only thing that would make it perfect would be if it included breakfast and towels. Other than that, I have absolutely no complaints. I stayed in the shared dorms. $15 per night is not a bad price at all, especially considering how big the rooms were and how clean it was. There's also really comfy mattresses, hot water, air...

Since we already fled one of the weirdest B&B in La Fortuna (Cabinas Arsol) we were really happy to get a room at this resort. The staff was very helpful, but this turned out to be only when it was to their advantage. You can get advice on tours, but only the ones they offer. You can get a room,... More

We stayed in the tents, which were amazing, so lovely to wake up to the sounds of the rainforest. If only I could say I went to sleep to them too. The hostel my have a quiet time after 11 (or 10 or 9:30 depending what notice you read) but the nightclub over the road turns the noise up as... More
