Arenal Roca Lodge

Nice staff ! Great location

Great price for the location. Wonderful staff. Tasty breakfast.

After reading several reviews that surfaced post-booking, I almost cancelled our reservation. However, we decided to chance it, and I am so glad we did! We stayed in a superior bungalow as a family of four (two adults, two teens) and had a wonderful experience. The superior bungalow was spacious and well-equipped with a functional AC, mini-fridge, and seating for four. The beds were firm, which I prefer. Housekeeping was excellent, visiting daily to mop and change towels; we felt completely safe leaving our belongings in the room. The hospitality was some of the best we have ever received. Cesar and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help us. Regarding concerns about pests: the bungalows are rustic, so while a few ants or a gecko might pop in, we saw no mosquitoes or roaches. It felt very clean. The property is near a busy road, so traffic noise is audible, but we used earplugs to sleep soundly. Any noise was worth it for the view; sipping coffee while looking at the volcano was a highlight. Meals were basic but decent, affordable, and convenient. For those seeking more of an authentic, rustic experience with amazing views and top-tier service, I highly recommend this spot. For luxury, look elsewhere, but for us, it was just right!

Breakfast was great and location is good. Otherwise you will get what you pay for.
