Top Venado Caves Hotel Reviews

Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent place, excellent staff."

Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"The staff weee friendly, attentive and accommodating."

Arenal Roca Lodge

10/10 Excellent

"We loved our stay!!! I’ll start by saying, we loooved the staff! They were all incredible. Very helpful, attentive and friendly. Always with a smile. They provided very helpful information about places to visit and tours we could do. We also loved our room. The room was clean and so was the bathroom. It was also spacious and comfortable. The room had these huge windows we could open and see the hummingbirds flying around. These windows also faced the volcano and the view was spectacular. Outside there’s a small sitting area located in the middle of all the bungalows which is nice to sit and listen to the birds. There was parking and there is a restaurant on the property. They provide free breakfast which is always nice to have. They are pretty close to town by car and close to restaurants and sodas (sodas are like diners that sell inexpensive food). The only thing we weren’t too excited about were the beds because they were too firm for our liking. Other than that if you are a nature lover and want to be away from the commotion but driving distance to everything, this is the perfect place for you. We recommend it 100%"

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"The bungalows were perfect and all of the staff was super friendly and helpful. The food was 10 outta 10 and the location is great. My only wish is that they provided some non-motorized sporting equipment to use like boogie boards and SUPs. They have 2 boogie boards that someone had probably left behind but 1 of them of broken."
