It was the best hotel during my entire trip. Some improvements and comments (see below) did not affect the overall rating and I would gladly stay there again. I loved the nature around the hotel which is well taken care of, you can clearly see great work of gardener. Also, taking care of animals (e.g. feeding birds) is a nice practice. The views to the volcano are amazing. Hot springs were the highlights of my staying - clear and warm water surrounded by lush green nature and flowers. I do not know if the hotel was full or not but there were always plenty of sun beds and spots in the hot springs. People also seem to respect the place as there is no noise. The lady who worked at the bar was extremely nice and helpful and she made the best cocktails (not sure the name Maya, or Maria?). She also helped me to spot the sloth near by. You could clearly see she enjoyed her work. The room was very spacious and clean with all required amenities. Extra point for availability of repellent. The staff at the reception and restaurant was very friendly and helpful. As a customer you get a nice gift - a hotel bag. I can definitely recommend Hotel El Silencio del Campo.

1. For this class of the hotel, breakfast is a bit limited and not varied. 2. In the world of data security and fraud, copying credit card details is not a good practice (there are other ways e.g. preauthorisation on the card) 3. Small improvement - when a glass of wine is ordered, the wine should be poured directly in front of the client - this will give a chance to see the bottle and type of wine that was ordered. Bringing a glass of wine directly to the table tells me nothing about the wine. Ideally, first you should give a sip to allow tasting, before the glass is filled.

We had a fantastic time at Hotel El Silencio del Campo. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, making us feel right at home from the moment we arrived. The grounds are beautifully maintained, featuring lush gardens filled with birds. Every morning felt like a mini birdwatching session, as we enjoyed watching numerous birds—and even a curious squirrel—visit the restaurant during breakfast. The on-site farm was a lovely place to explore, adding a unique local charm to our stay. We also appreciated the on-site restaurant, which offered different menus each evening. On the days we didn’t feel like venturing out, it was the perfect spot to enjoy a delicious and relaxing dinner right on the property. The natural hot springs were an excellent bonus—peaceful and rejuvenating. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone looking to unwind in nature with warm hospitality!

This is an amazing place! The chalet is beautiful, clean and spacious. We had a fabilous view of the Arenal vulcano from our window and terrace. Chalets are surrounded by a beautiful garden where different wild and farm animals roam around. There was also a sloth living on a tree there. The little farm they have is extremely well maintained and you can try milking the cow and collecting eggs every morning. Animals seem very well cared for. The hot springs are gorgeous, the place makes you feel like you are in paradise. We highly recommend this place!

Beds made a little noise.

Everything was just perfect! The staff, animals, location, hot springs, food. We travelled with our 3 kids. Perfect spot for them also- in the check in the staff told all information about horse riding, collecting the eggs and when children can milk the cow. It was such a good experience for them, and for us also. Ps! We loved the omlette in the mornings, really good. All was clean and correct, the prices were acceptable, not overkilled. Ex. milksahkes, coctails and food- all was affordable on the site😊 We are gonna miss you guys and definitely when we are coming back to Costa Rica, we are 110% coming back to you. Thank you! Room nr 21😉

I loved the various hot springs that were present at the property. Because there were so many on the property, we decided to not pay to visit any of the nearby hot springs (win-win!). We spent every morning at the farm because we loved the animals so much! Antonio (I think was his name) also showed us where the sloths were on the property which I thought was so kind of him to do. We also toured the whole medicinal and food garden with a gentleman who I believe takes care of it all (but forgot his name). He was so kind and I helped translate everything he said into English for my friends/family. It is absolutely amazing the amount of plants and animals they have at the property. It truly made our experience 100% better! Every staff member we interacted with was so kind and helpful. The rooms were extremely clean and all utilities worked perfectly (A/C, TV, minifridge, etc). This will be the 4th property I have stayed at in the Arenal/La Fortuna area and it is now my favorite!! Gracias por todo, pura vida!! 🤙🏼💜

Nothing. :) 10/10

Beautiful property with bungalows situated throughout giving each unit privacy. The staff were gracious in helping us locate the resident sloth and sharing information about her as well as showing us around the garden. The hot springs were well maintained, clean, and not busy, you could always find your own pool to relax. Nice breakfast options and we ate at the cabana by the hot springs where there was good food and good service.

We didn't have any instructions about arriving after hours when the gate was closed, and it took a few minutes to work that out. But a very minor blip in an otherwise wonderful stay!

The property was absolutely gorgeous, beautifully landscaped and full of life - butterflies, birds, flowers. My kids and I enjoyed all of the different pools, hot and cold; we loved getting into the hot springs during the evening rainstorms. The farm experiences were great - gathering eggs, milking the cow, horse ride, and exploring the garden, including a chat with the tender who had great knowledge on medicinal plants and organic farming. Both restaurants were good (free breakfast was great!) and the staff was extremely helpful and nice. Our cabin had everything we needed.

If I had to mention any one thing, it would be I wish we had a cabin further back to avoid any of the road sounds, but they weren't even bad. On the plus side, we had a direct view of the Arenal Volcano right from our window.

The property was extremely beautiful, with a well kept luscious green landscape. There were many places to see native animals and we even saw a sloth and her baby! We loved taking walks throughout the property and that it was romantically lighted at night. The hot springs were a nice way to start or end the day after our adventures and the food was nothing short of delicious. We stayed in a king chalet and it was comfortable, spacious, and inviting! I loved how it had the rustic wood features, vaulted ceilings, and was comfortable and spacious. The staff were always greeting us, smiling, and helping in any way possible. We also spent one morning on the farm and really enjoyed that part as well! We loved every part of this stay and cannot wait to come back! Thank you for having us!

We loved the property overall. If we had to make one suggestion, we would recommend fans in the dining areas, as it gets very warm in the afternoon and early evenings.

Breakfast was wonderful. Really tasty and good portion size. The staff were very friendly. The grounds are impeccably manicured and beautiful, with lots of birds around. The pools are also beautiful and clean, a huge plus at the end of a day of hiking. The rooms are modern and comfortable. We loved the outdoor seating and especially the skylight in the shower. Coffee in the room is wonderful too.

Minor, but the paths to the spa weren’t lit at night my first night there, and the pool waterfall wasn’t lit the second night. So lighting is the only issue.

The Hotel Silencio del Campo exceeded our expectations. We loved staying in our spacious cabin. The bed was super comfortable. The daily breakfast was delicious with fruit and eggs prepared from their own chickens on the property. We enjoyed relaxing in the thermal baths after a day of hiking and activities. We also loved visiting the farm animals on the property. All the animals are well taken care of and a great addition to the hotel. I left my phone charger and the hotel sent it to my next location in Costa Rica. I would recommend this hotel to anyone traveling to La Fortuna!

There was nothing we didn't like!
