We stayed in the Arenal area only one night as part of an intense road trip, so we didn't have the chance to use all the facilities that the hotel offers. However, we really enjoyed the very nice patio of the hotel restaurant and bar, with a great view of the surroundings of the Arenal.

Our stay at La Tigra Rainforest Lodge was truly a highlight of our Costa Rica trip. Having visited multiple places across the country, this one stood out as the most memorable by far. The food at La Tigra is simply amazing, with each dish crafted with care and attention to detail. From the quality and diversity of the menu to the beautiful presentation of the plates, it was a culinary delight at every meal. Our room was beyond amazing, boasting a stunning view of the jungle that made us feel like we were in a dream. Not only were the rooms impeccably clean, but we were pleasantly surprised to find warm water—a luxury in the midst of the rainforest. The entire experience felt surreal and truly special, something we know we'll never forget. The staff were incredibly kind and attentive, taking the time to explain everything clearly and ensuring that our every need was met. Their genuine hospitality made us feel right at home. One of the highlights of our stay was the frog tour, which we had the pleasure of experiencing twice—once in rain and once in dry weather. Each time was a unique and magical encounter with Costa Rica's incredible biodiversity. The journey to La Tigra was an adventure in itself, with the scenic drive requiring a 4x4 vehicle and a leisurely pace. But the anticipation of what awaited us at the lodge made it all the more exciting. In conclusion, La Tigra Rainforest Lodge surpassed all our expectations and left us with memories that will last a lifetime. It truly was the most memorable stay of our trip, and we can't wait to return someday.

I loved this accommodation: perfect location (walking distance to restaurants, very safe at night, view of Arenal volcano), great breakfast (three options), very helpful staff (arranging taxis, also I couldn't pay at check-in because my MasterCard was blocked by Worldline and they were very unstanding until the problem was solved), ...

Beautiful gardens and lodges. The proximity to town meant you had cafes and restos on your doorstep and no need for car. The pool/games room was great entertainment for kids during down time.

The location was absolutely stunning with amazing views of the Arenal volcano and lake. We loved the various hiking trails, one even led to a water fall where you could swim, so bring your swim suits! We saw so much wild-life nearby on our walks including coyotes, toucans and monkeys. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved every meal and found the staff to be super friendly and helpful, wish we could have stayed longer!

It was super clean and nice. We had everything and more than we needed. The accommodation has a nice kitchen and living room, they offer breakfast for little money, laundry service, and it has a very nice balcony. It is only a few minutes week to the center of the town 😊 The room was beautiful and modern. We enjoyed every minute of our stay!

Really an exceptional spot. The accommodations are very rustic (think glorified camping), so as long as you're not expecting the Marriott you feel part of the forest with the sound of toucans and howler monkeys - and the views of Arenal and the lake are out of this world. Owners are lovely and have a ton of local information. Can walk to lake, river and nearby store and restaurant. Would stay again in a heartbeat and for longer.

This accomodation is cheap but has everything you need! We had a great stay, mostly thanks to Esteban the owner. Esteban organised a tour of Rio Celeste for us which was a great day out. He was also very helpful providing bus times, travel info, recommendations etc. The accomodation has a kitchen that whilst there is no oven or stovetop there is electric fry pans, rice cookers, kettles and plenty to make a good meal.

With one small exception, absolutely everything! If you want to stay near Arenal and explore the rainforests around the volcano, this is the place to go and stay. Views are out of this world and accomodations are great. Loved their focus on sustainability and eco-tourism. We stayed for three nights but could easily have spent a week.

Perfect start to our family holiday in Costa Rica. Wanted a place close to the airport upon arrival due to long flight and jet lag but which already held „nature/jungle-vibe“. Stayed for one night. Perfect place to start!

Location was great, close to everything. I stayed in one of the cylinder rooms because it was such a unique accommodation, and I'm so glad I did! It was private and in the middle of a beautiful garden area. The air conditioning was ideal. I scheduled an all day tour with the staff that was amazing! The resort was pretty empty during my visit, the quiet was nice. Everything was fairly clean for a hostel.
