Arenal Xilopalo

This place is right on the edge of the jungle, and the staff put out bananas/plantain so the bird life is incredible. We saw toucan, motmots, hummingbirds and lots more, without even leaving the hotel. When it isn't under cloud, there is also a stunning view of the volcano from the breakfast deck. The included breakfast was very good as well.

The room smelt very damp -not overly surprising considering it's tropical rain forest, but it was very noticeable every time we entered the room.

Perfect location walking distance to town center, the breakfast was good and Fabian was an excellent and friendly waiter. Staff in general were nice and helpful!!!

a nice room among nature with Arenal volcano view

I like the location of the property. It was very walkable to downtown Law Fortuna. I liked how it was tucked away back in nature with lots of foliage and birds and animals around I did not like the smell that came from the little pond near the pool and the pool area could stand to be freshened up a little bit. The lobby and restaurant were both good the view from the restaurant was wonderful. There’s ice in the lobby. If you need it the room itself was pretty sparse but a great value. The beds were comfortable in the queen room, but in the twin room, not very much there are no hooks and very little shelves no door knobs to hang anything on no bedside tables and no lamps so the only lights you have are overhead lights and the shower has very low water pressure unless you want to shower and cold water the kitchen while equipped with a few cooking items doesn’t have any utensils, oil, salt and pepper and no paper towel towels. None of these things were a big deal to us at all. I’m just giving you an expectation of what you might find. The air conditioning worked great
