The thing that is unique about this property is it's view of Volcan Arenal. I first visited Arenal Lodge approx 16 years ago. My last visit prior to yesterday was 14 years ago. Upon my arrival at the front gate yesterday yesterday, I was looked at and then "ignored" by the gate guard as he turned his back to me for couple minutes without saying anything. I didn't know if I was supposed to get out of my car or not. He finally turned around and asked me to verify my name. I then began my trip up the winding road to the lodge and after 15 min or so I realized that I did not remember how long the drive into the lodge was. And the road was incredibly poor with holes and dislodged cobble stones. I was thinking how easy it would be for my rental car to become damaged in some manner because of the condition of the road. I honestly felt like I should have been in a jeep or a truck. There was only one other patron there on the day of my stay and they were put in the "same" chalet as I was which eliminated the privacy that I could have experienced. The rest of the staff was polite and helpful for the most part. Breakfast in the morning was marginal but suitable. For what I was charged for a night's stay after the issues that I experienced really diminished the wonderful memories that I have thought about in the past 14 years since my previous visits.

If you’re looking to be in nature this is the right place to be. You can definitely enjoy the fresh air a good walk in the morning with the sound of the birds. Enjoy a good swim in the pool with a breathtaking view of the volcano. The staff is very nice.
