Our kids (5,8,11) enjoyed the rock climbing wall, slide and piano. The private hot tub on the deck was the perfect way to watch the sun go down. Breakfast was plentiful and delicious. And the breakfast staff were kind and attentive. Emel at the front desk/concierge was welcoming and so helpful.

The front staff is also amazing and very helpful. I noticed in some spots the wifi was spotty so we had to switch rooms, the staff was accommodating and let us do our laundry too as a nice gesture. We also borrowed a tv from the front desk but theres no table is the room so we had to awkwardly put it on the bed. The breakfast was filling and good, there are about 3 options to choose from. I would be careful with some of the tables and cuterly because there were some bugs crawling around. Overall a great stay and would recommend. ##### Shefali Stayed 3 nights in Nov 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### BRYAN K Mar 24, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities My.

Tucked away on the top of a mountain. Waking up each morning with the sunrise over Arenal was amazing. The humming birds all around were magical. Thank you for a fabulous relaxed stay closest enough to all but far enough for quiet. ##### Samantha Stayed 4 nights in Oct 2024 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Jackson D. Aug 8, 2023 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everyone who we came in contact was so friendly, anything we need in their power they were able to provide. The service at both hotel and restaurant were excellent. I would recommend this place to anyone. Lots of fun activities to do. ##### Jackson D. Stayed 2 nights in Aug 2023 ### 8/10 Good #### Sandra Mar 8, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities We enjoyed the Chateau Arenal very much. If I could add a 1/2 star I would do so. It has a beautiful view, the pool and hot tub are lovely, the food is good and interesting, the drinks are delicious and the people are all amazingly friendly, helpful and kind. My only slightly negative comment is the remote location. While we enjoyed ourselves and loved the view, it was quite a drive to get anywhere. ##### Sandra Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2025 ### 8/10 Good #### Mario Feb 24, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities Everything was great! Food was world class! The only thing that could have been better was the bad smell coming from the bathroom, something to consider/remodel!! ##### Mario Stayed 2 nights in Feb 2024 ### 6/10 Okay #### Ludger Dec 7, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service The room was very basic. 2 beds no chairs small bathroom without shelves However with great view of the Vulcano and proximity to the national park trails Infinity swimming pool and hot tub Excellent dinner choice with red snapper and great sides.
