Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent
"This place has a breathtaking view of the Arenal Volcano. A hike in the national park doesn’t even get you a close. The location was great, just 10 minutes from the hustle and bustle of La Fortuna. It felt like a jungle retreat more than a resort and the breakfast buffet was delicious."

"Upon arrival we were upgraded to a villa with our own private swimming pool. It was a very pleasant surprise! Beds, sheets, and pillows were super comfy! AC was ice-cold. From the moment we parked our car, our luggage was hand-delivered to our room. Same when it was time to leave. Coffee/cocoa machine in the reception area was a very nice touch. Breakfast was phenomenal! We enjoyed everything about our visit."

"An Unforgettable Honeymoon Experience! Our stay at Noah Forest Hotel was absolutely amazing! We came here for our honeymoon, and it was truly one of the best experiences we could have ever asked for. From the moment we arrived, the hospitality was exceptional. The entire team made us feel so welcome and special, and we are incredibly grateful for the wonderful people we had the pleasure of meeting during our stay. The breakfast was amazing, and we loved the attention to detail throughout the hotel. The rooms were beautifully maintained, the housekeeping team did an outstanding job, and every team member we encountered contributed to making our experience even more beautiful and memorable. What truly sets this hotel apart is its incredible staff and the genuine care they show their guests. They went above and beyond to make our honeymoon special, and we couldn’t have asked for a better experience. We left with beautiful memories that we will cherish forever. We highly recommend Noah Forest Hotel to anyone looking for exceptional hospitality and a wonderful place to stay. We would absolutely love to come back! Thank you to the entire team jason, adrian, modesto and Steven for making the beginning of our married life even more special! ❤️🥂"
