The view from the rooms is spectacular! But there are also the breathtakingly beautiful birds that make the Lodge area their home! So many different species right there in the property - as well as the cows & horses that graze on either side. But most of all, there is the friendly, attentive staff - especially, the men who hold down the fort at reception: Blaz & Isaac. Both were always responsive whenever I had a question, request, or the TV wasn't working (which Isaac immediately fixed)... anything. And Blaz in particular, was proactive - always checking to see if there was anything I needed or anything he could help me with. That kind of genuine care in the hospitality sector is rarer these days than it ought to be. The view of Arenal and the peacefulness notwithstanding, the staff is really what makes this place so special. I will recommend it to everyone I like/love, and only wish I could've stayed more than 3 nights!

It was almost perfect. My only suggestion would be to have a bedside lamp. Overhead lighting as the only option makes no sense to me.

The highlights of this stay were the location (perfectly positioned in between everything), the wildlife on the surrounding property (we saw the red eyed frog, a peccary, blue jean frogs, Muscovy ducks, and ~15 bird species), and lastly the staff. Randall, one of the hotel staff members was exceptional! He used to give wildlife night tours, and was kind enough to do mini night walks with us to help us find the animals. Also wonderful breakfast

The rooms/facilities themselves were nothing to write home about

A must stay, what a view of the volcano! Amazing experience during our stay on Arenal Roca Lodge, mainly thanks to Cesar and Henry, the guard from the place. Cesar made everything easy and gave us recommendations of places to eat and activities to do during our stay. Henry so kindly showed us the animals around like the red eye frog, time and sand yellow frog, Martin pescador bird and many more, that plus his explanations were super interesting! The breakfast was delightful and the service too. Truly a must stay. Will recommend and will definitely stay again when we come back.

This place has one of the best view right in front of the Volcano Arenal! The rooms are cabins, so you enjoy an authentic experience with nature. Breakfast was great, you can enjoy a typical costarican breakfast or the american breakfast, food is prepared at the moment so everything is fresh and delicious.

The cabins have great space, the A/C works fine, but it takes a while to cool the room, so probably bigger A/Cs could do better. No pools at the property but there are plenty of thermal pools just a few minutes on road. Beware of insects, so keep your doors and windows closed.

Wonderful view on the Arenal volcano. Whole small house is yours. There is a small lake with a lot of frogs, birds and follower. The local security guy was kind to do a small free night watch of the flora and fauna of the lake. That was great. That nice security guy suggested visiting free hot springs nearby which was an amazing experience. Also, breakfast was very good and I was able to enjoy some local ducks playing outside during breakfast.

It was foggy, and I could not have a clear view of Vulcano but that is not their vault. just weather

Beautiful view and a great location if you have a car as it is a bit away from the main town. The lodges are super spacious. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the staff in the food hall! We ordered some evening food there too and it was delicious. The reception staff were absolutely lovely.

The beds were pretty small and hard. The room was only cleaned on request (and our request sign kept blowing away) therefore we had lots of small bugs in the room. Coffee pods were such a lovely touch, but then you had to pay for them - as it is fairly expensive accommodation we would have appreciated this for free.

We loved the location. The view from our room was spectacular! It is a beautiful property and we enjoyed staying in one of the bungalows.

We liked everything. Our only issue was that the coffee maker in our room didn’t work, and that we had to, occasionally, fiddle with the toilet to get it to stop running. Also, the swimming pool was undergoing repairs while we were there, so we couldn’t use it. We would have liked to be told about that ahead of time.

The views were spectacular. I was in bungalow 5, which is the first row of bungalows, and the Volcano was in my backyard. Breathtaking, to say the least.

Room amenities was scarce. The was supposed to a bar fridge that you have to pay for drinks which was fine but I had no fridge. 1 roll if toilet paper and the road noise feels like yourbwindows are open. Other than that it was still an amazing stay. Definitely recommend it 100% if your not looking for 5 star amenities. Breakfast was incredible. Tico style breakfast.

Great view or Arenal volcano from the bungalow which has eight big windows. Parking was available in front of the room. Considering it's 'jungle adjacent' the room was very clean and bug free except for some ants. Decent breakfast, made to order, with fresh fruit. Comfortable bed with enough cushion to support shoulders and hips.

It's a bit close to the road and there is some noise, but it's not intrusive and quiet at night.

This place is so much better than you think it's going to be. Absolutely huge, well laid out rooms with massive windows. Just lay on the couch, grab a supplied coffee or Expresso and soak in the views while hummingbirds explore the flowers near you. No shared walls, great air conditioner, close to town and a good breakfast. Book a few nights. It feels like a getaway cottage. After dark our family walked around the pond to find some exotic frogs. The incredibly friendly security guard (Henry?) saw us struggling with our phone lights and joined us with something better. Without his help we would have missed the smaller frogs and the impressive kingfisher staking the water.
