Platanar Vacation Rentals

"This stay was great but short. Everything from the bedding to the lobby to the restaurant was perfect. Only thing that they need to improve is fixing the Jets in the Jacuzzi because the pumps evidently are not working. And if they can make the sauna or steam area hotter would be great .other than that Pura Vida fantastic. Also the best shower ever . Staff very friendly and go out of there way to make your stay memorable "

"If anything, the name of this hotel ('pretty view') undersells it by a long shot! On a clear day you can see the sun rise over the volcano from your balcony and the view extends to the left over all of Lake Arenal. Stunning. My mouth literally dropped open when we entered our room and the big pane window was filled with a clear view of the volcano (we were lucky to arrive on a really great visibility day!) Loved the staff, very helpful and accommodating and kind. The pool has views of both the lake and the volcano. Slight discount at the restaurant for hotel guests and complimentary breakfast. Dinner was the best casado we've had, the desserts are beautiful and delicious, and our meal was accompanied by the sweetest little pup maitre d'😍 We were only there one night, but the location was easy to get to from Arenal Observatory Lodge, and I'd stay again for sure, and have already recommended to friends."

"Wonderful staff. Very friendly and willing to help. Location is amazing, beautiful view. Great value for the money! "

"Tabacón is an incredible resort! The springs is much larger than you would expect, with many beautiful parts to find privacy and relaxation. The drinks are incredible and views are even better. We indulged in a couples volcanic mud massage- and it was the best massage ever! The spa is beautiful, peaceful and worth it! One thing to consider is that it is a 20minute ride to town, so you are pretty much committed to eating at the resort- which is not cheap. Each drink is $15 and meals are $20 . The breakfast options are a buffet at $35 a person or room service- which is about $20 . (Summer 2024) The food was amazing, but we were definitely expecting some cheaper options before we arrived.

"Beautiful property. Staff very helpful and friendly. Unique stay and exclusive area. "

"One of the nicest hotels in the world!! Can’t wait to come back"

"Breakfast was great (food and view) Staff is very friendly and prompt to assist Rooms are spacious and the view of the volcano is amazing Restaurants is overprice (in my opinion) but that seems to be the case for all hotels , Wood pizza was good ($20 -$25) there is other local food options near by I will definitely stay again "

"The staff are incredible! They were so nice and went over and above to make sure we had a wonderful vacation. The food was excellent as was the bar service by the hot springs. Thank you to everyone whi helped my husband when he fell there and got him to a clinic for stiches so quickly and stayed with him and brought him back to me, you all are the best!"

"6/11/24: we stayed here for 3 nights. It was our 30th anniversary and wife’s bday. This is an amazing place. The rooms are beautiful. The view of the volcano is stunning! The staff were helpful from the moment we checked in until our checkout. I will return again and hope this review helps others when deciding whether to stay. You can’t go wrong with this hotel."
