Top Zapotal Hotel Reviews

Casa Luna Hotel & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"Absolutely gorgeous! Beautiful hotel with stunning view and great breakfast. The waitstaff was particularly nice, and the woman who cleaned the room left adorable towel sculptures that delighted my daughter."

Junglo Resort and Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The grounds are really beautifully laid out and the looks amazing. The room had a ton a nice little touches and was very well put together. We ate breakfast in the restaurant and it was a great buffet breakfast with some of the juiciest, softest mango pieces I have ever had. It’s a little outside La Fortuna (15 min drive) but that’s the appeal of being next to the jungle! And this is a great spot to enjoy it."

Fiesta Resort Central Pacific - All Inclusive

10/10 Excellent

"We arrived at the resort near midnight from long, delayed flights. The check-in was fast and easy. There was still food (pizza and fries) available at the snack bar for a quick eat. The room was super cold (which felt wonderful after being in heat). The rooms are a bit outdated and the hotel itself looks a bit older, but it was still great! It was cleaned and the AC worked well. The resort had amazing food, each area was delicious! The pools were always cleaned. The staff constantly were picking up empty cups to make it look clean, the beach was super clean and plenty of loungers. The coffee shop wasn’t opened much when we’d walk by, but when we managed to get a coffee it was good. There’s tons of iguanas which made the atmosphere seem even more tropical. We decided to take a couple excursions from Greg, who is at the boardwalk. He helped us with getting transportation back to the airport as well. Overall, this resort exceeded expectations! Lovely area!!"

Valle Escondido Nature Reserve Hotel & Farm

10/10 Excellent

"This place is a gem. Having beautiful trails through rainforest on the property was magical. The permaculture integration of design, function, and the natural world was inspiring - and also made for incredibly fresh and tasty meals. The view from our room balcony was breathtaking - I didn’t even have to get dressed to go birdwatching first thing in the morning. And there were so many areas for children to play. The concierge service was fantastic - they book tours not only on the property, but also in the protected areas nearby."

Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

8/10 Good

"Great stay! Beautiful property with tropical plants all around. I am big on cleanliness and I would say it definitely passed my expectations. A nice jacuzzi unfortunately I didn’t have time to enjoy but it’s there. Staff were helpful and friendly. We stayed in the family cabin which was two rooms with 3 full size beds with lots of space ! The cabin was located next to the street so my only con was the noise from the vehicles passing by at night especially the motorcycles & trucks. I am a light sleeper so my first night was a bit tough. I know that’s something that’s not in their control but good to know for those who’d prefer a cabin away from the street noise. The hotel isn’t in town so it’s farther from hot springs so it’s a good idea to have a car or take an uber/taxi around. Other than that it’s a lovely place !"

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"We love wildlife. This place made seeing it and experiencing it a truly amazing place. The breakfast was also quite nice and our room was also very good. We may well come back. We were here for three days and between the amazing sights on the lodge grounds and three places we explored closer to town (La Fortuna), we could see staying more like a week. A true treasure."

El Establo Mountain Hotel

10/10 Excellent

"Great for families! We had a great time with our kids doing the canopy and the guided night walk they have inside the hotel property! The staff was super friendly and eager to help with anything we needed! Gym was nice and well equipped and breakfast had a lot of options to choose from! I would definitely recommend it!!"

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Zapotal?

The best area to stay in Zapotal is the immediate vicinity of the town centre, particularly along the main road, Route 141.

This central area offers the most convenient access to local amenities and provides a good starting point for exploring the region. You'll find a selection of local eateries and shops clustered around this main thoroughfare, making it easy to grab essentials or enjoy a meal without venturing far.

For couples seeking a relaxing retreat, staying in the hills just outside the town centre offers a more secluded experience. Many accommodations in these areas provide stunning views of the surrounding countryside and feature private balconies or patios, great for enjoying a quiet evening. These spots often boast amenities like infinity pools or well-maintained gardens, suiting a desire for tranquility and comfort.

When is the best time to go to Zapotal?

The best time to visit Zapotal is during the dry season, which runs from December to April.

During these months, you'll experience consistently sunny weather and lower humidity, making it ideal for exploring the natural beauty of the region. This period is superb for outdoor activities such as hiking through the cloud forests, birdwatching, and enjoying the coffee plantation tours without the interruption of heavy rains.

While the dry season is generally more popular, the shoulder months of May and November can also be a good option. You'll still find pleasant weather, fewer crowds, and potentially better value on accommodation.

Be sure to check your booking confirmation for the exact cancellation policy. If free cancellation is available, you can cancel directly through your Expedia account by logging in, going to "My Trips", and selecting your reservation.
