Arenal Paraíso Resort truly lives up to its name—it’s a paradise! The cabin we stayed in was incredibly spacious, comfortable, and spotless. The views of the surrounding nature and volcano were absolutely breathtaking. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of Thermo Mineral Hot Springs pools—there were so many to choose from, and they were all so relaxing. There are even areas designed for kids, making it a great spot for families. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

Nice stay in quiet nature

Had a lovely stay, our hut was so great, very quiet and comfortable, very friendly cleaning staff, they made us laugh a lot with their towel Figurines. Amazing breakfast, great restaurants and fantastic pool & termal area. Parking close to our hut worked perfectly. In terms of cleanliness all was good for us, we found that the bats left their droppings on the porch at night but we found this was part of the nature Adventure. We very much enjoyed our stay and can absolutely recommend.

This property was fantastic. It had all the amenities we were looking for. Room was clean with great view. Seemingly endless thermal pools at different temperatures hidden along a path up the hill was incredible. Breakfast in the morning was great. The bonus was the swim up bar that was warm. Many iguanas on the property. Wish we could’ve stayed longer.

Great hotel with its own thermal pools.

Arrived early but told we would have to wait till 3 for check in. We were able to use the thermal pools and have lunch whilst we waited. Our room was a decent size with 2 double beds but unfortunately the walls were paper thin and the 'family' next door were anything but quiet. Luckily for us, on requesting a move to another room, they were able to oblige and Alan, the concierge, was very helpful driving us to and from our old room to the new room and back to reception. Our 'new room was quieter and comfortable. The thermal pools were very enjoyable ranging from hot (around 40c) down in a series of 'fake' rock pools to about 24c. In addition a decent swimming pool and a separate swim up bar which we assume was thermal water as it was at her dark and murky. The staff were all friendly and the food and cocktails were delicious, though we found the food portions on the large side. What would have been nice was some bench seats around the property in order to sit and enjoy the wildlife/birds. Also the sunbeds by the pool were in very poor repair and few in number.

One stop shop for relaxing in the rainforest!

We love to relax at this resort. If you want to just lounge around in the rainforest, this is a great place to do it. The cabins are modest, but the facilities are a little more updated. This resort has everything you need so you don't have to leave if you don't want to. The massages at the spa are amazing. There is a zip lining adventure right in the resort if you want. And the food is great too. Our favorite thing to do is to soak in the mineral pool with the swim up bar for a cocktail and bird watch while getting glimpses of the Volcan Arenal from time to time.

Don’t give them your business

No water. Can’t shower. Can’t flush the toilet. No compensation, no credit for food. Nothing. How romantic is it when you can’t flush a toilet? Failing grade from us. Oh… line-up for poor breakfast too. Front desk staff as friendly as a migraine.

We had two very nice comfortable cabins, beds were fine, it was lovely being able to sit on the porches and listen to the birds. The thermal baths were fabulous, graduated from hot to luke warm, were well kept up and clean. However we had two problems. The water in our cabins kept going off for many many hours For all three days of our stay. Very awkward not being able to flush toilets! We actually would fill up bottles of water so we could brush our teeth if the water was off. The other problem was they told us that they couldn’t seat our party of 5 in the main restaurant, but they could seat us in the pool restaurant and assured us the food was the same. The food was not the same, it was a much more casual menu. The breakfast buffet was very good every day and the cleaning staff and other staff were helpful and nice. The hotel is lovely, even saw a toucan in the trees there, but they need to fix their water situation.
