Disappointed with Eco Arenal Hotel
We were quite disappointed with the accommodations. The rooms were old and had a musty odor. There was quite a bit of mold and mildew on the ceiling of the bathrooms. The breakfast was okay and there was a beautiful view of the volcano from the dining area.

We loved our recent stay at the Eco Arenal Hotel. The room was clean with a patio overlooking the creek and jungle. We walked the beautiful grounds and gardens every night and admired the hummingbirds and flowers. We could hear howler monkeys in the distance, but never saw them. The breakfast included everything from local foods to pancakes. The staff was very helpful, friendly, and attentive. The restaurant across the street (Mary's) was also excellent for dinner. I highly recommend this hotel.

We were on a family vacation and stayed there for 3 nights. When we check in, they first gave us a wrong type of room then our booking. That room was on a two-story building. The room was dark, and smelt moldy. We went back to the reception, they switched us to a different room which has the correct bed settings as we booked, but this time they only had 2 sets of towels and even bed blankets for our family of 3. Again, we went back to the reception and they fixed the problem. Hotel room is comfortable. Bathroom setup is a little weird. There is no room to leave your luggage open, so you always have to put it on bed, open and get your stuff and then close and put away. Breakfast is okay, same stuff every day. The smoke bbq restaurant across street is a good place to get lunch or dinner.

Loved Eco Arenal and all the staff. Laura was awesome, lots of information and very accomodating. We stayed in the newer building so everything was clean tidy and comfortable. The birds that visited were unbelievable, better than the hikes in the area in our experience. I would definitely recommend this hotel for a nice quiet relaxing stay while still being close to town for restaurants and shopping.

The staff was friendly and helpful. The property was clean. The breakfast was very good. And the best part was the vote of the volcano from the hotel and the howler monkeys that played in the trees.
