There was a dog on the property that bite my girlfriend. The staff offered a free dinner. But the free breakfast was not very edible so I declined. Was also never told if the dog was vaccinated. So now we have to schedule a rabies shot.

The staff was excellent, they helped us in the planning of the tours and what to do in the city, the breaksfast was great, you had three options, all delicious. The view to the volcano from the room was perfect. Now, the hotel is old and it looks it. The shower does not have shelf to set your stuff so is very uncomfortable.

The staff here make it worth it! They are 10/10. So kind. The hotel is perfect as a main base for all the activities in the area. Greivin helped us book a spa and dinner evening before our arrival via WhatsApp and it worked out flawlessly. Rooms are simple but clean and private, everything you need for a high activity trip like in fortuna. We would definitely stay here again.

Great location out of the way of the hustle and bustle of downtown La Fortuna with plenty of restaurants nearby, but also close enough to La Fortuna. Fantastic view of the volcano from our room. The grounds are beautifully maintained and the breakfast spot delightful. Staff is friendly and accommodating. The rooms are very outdated, especially the bathrooms where the faucets look like they’re decades old.

Delicious and healthy breakfast, clean cabin with view of volcano (although it was mostly covered by the cloud when we were there). It was a bit noisy with car noises as it faces a road, so ear plugs are a must if you are a light sleeper.

We had high hopes for our stay at Arenal Roca Lodge, but unfortunately, our experience was extremely disappointing and concerning from the moment we arrived. Within just two hours of checking in, our room was overtaken by a swarm of large flying ants, especially in the bathroom, rendering it completely unusable. We initially tried to remain optimistic despite spotting lizards and other bugs in the room. However, the situation became unacceptable when one of us was bitten by a gecko. We reported the issue to the front desk right away, and a maintenance worker was sent to remove a large number of insects—confirming just how uninhabitable the room had become. We felt unsafe and extremely uncomfortable, and ultimately had to leave and find alternative accommodations that same night, paying out of pocket. The conditions were clearly unsuitable for guests, and we’ve since requested a full refund directly from the property. This was a deeply disappointing experience, and we hope the lodge takes serious steps to improve the safety and cleanliness of their rooms going forward.

The team is fantastic, well educated, always ready to assist with a smile. The facilities needs some repairs and upgrades for sure. It does not reflect the price at all. They were kept clean at all times, which is really appreciated. Loved the breakfast and we wouldn’t mind having a social area where guests could share the stories of the day. Like a small bar at the dinning area. The views were fantastic, really good.
