It was a nice stay! Wish they had more options for food in the menu. It was the same breakfast, lunch and dinner menu. The hot springs were not always hot and not all were working. The massages were amazing tho! Highly recommended.

We loved our stay at Hotel Heliconias. The staff was so welcoming and friendly. The grounds were beautiful. A sloth was right on the property. Beautiful flowers and birds. The restaurant had a wonderful free breakfast in the morning and great dinner options. The hot springs on the property were delightful. About 30 minutes from Arenal Volcano

Beautiful, well maintained grounds and excellent service. Every encounter with the staff from the reception desk, to the restaurant and hotel room was a pleasant experience. We travelled with families and rented three premium treehouse and all kids and adults loved it. Waking up to the sound of tweeting birds was the best good morning. We loved the peace and quiet and did not mind that it was 25 mins from La Fortuna or took longer to get to Arenal area. The free breakfast was delicious and lunch dinner (same menu) were generous portions. Will definitely come back again. We saw three sloths near the petting zoo and another in the hiking area. This was hands down our favorite hotel

A MUST experience. Staying in the treehouse is unique without giving up comfort, the surrounding area is lush and filled with wildlife, the restaurant serves good food. Doing the afternoon tour with Victor was great, especially his knowledge of plants, animals, birds and love of gardening for the restaurant.

It was a magical stay for my wife’s 50th birthday. Diego, Carlos , Victor were especially excellent in everything they did for us. The hotel rooms and the grounds were beautiful and well maintained. There almost no need to go anywhere else. The amount of detail they put into all of thier work is superb. They really accommodate your every need. Check in and checkout was a breeze. The food was also delightful and done with so much love. We left feeling like we were a part of the family. We will be back with friends hopefully sooner than later. Thank you so much Heliconias!!!

Loved our stay. The place is kept beautifully, every one is very nice. There is one restaurant on premise, very good food. The big pool is refreshing, the hot springs are very cute. There are several sloths living in the property and the local guide was super helpful to show them to us. It was amazing to see them so close up. We stayed at la Iguana, real immersive experience and waking up in the morning in a quite and beautiful place was really nice. We had 2 kids under 10, and felt so safe. Also front desk was very helpful in providing information on tours and we ended up doing our own route as we had a rented car. We visited the volcano, around 35 to 40 min away. We all really loved our stay!

This resort is amazing and I wish I was back there now. We only stayed here 2 nights of our 8 night stay in Costa Rica, but it was our favorite. We have a family of 4 and we stayed in a deluxe treehouse which fit us nicely. The grounds are beautiful and walkable and the staff is friendly. We were able to see multiple sloths and plenty of other wildlife. One afternoon, my teenaged daughter accidently left her wallet (with cash) in the restaurant, but it was kept safe by the staff (Luis) until she realized her mistake and retrieved it. We took the night tour with Victor and thoroughly enjoyed it, and we appreciated his passion about farming and sustainability. Also, the coffee is amazing. We ate all of our meals here and the food was fresh and delicious (I would personally recommend the farm to table casado and the breakfast omelet). Overall we recommend this resort to anyone looking for a relaxing, quiet stay, close to nature with quality food and great staff.

Beautiful resort. Pool was nice and hot springs are lovely. Really enjoyed the opportunity to explore paths on the property and see flora and fauna (we saw a sloth on the first day, toucans, parakeets, and much more). We stayed in the treehouse and it was a wonderful treat. Would stay again here.
