    Had an excellent stay at Xilopalo Villa! the staff was amazing and the grounds were beautiful. Great value for the price, with spacious rooms and a well-supplied kitchen. the on-site restaurant was delicious and affordable. Strong WiFi and plenty of parking. Enjoyed the view of the volcano from the front porch. Jose, our host, was wonderful and provided helpful recommendations for tours. Cons: Nothing to be said 👍.

    Large rooms with comfortable beds and spacious kitchen area. Excellent value for money, especially considering the cheap price. Staff, especially José, were fun and extremely helpful. Great air conditioning, not commonly found in Costa Rica. Good location, away from busy streets but still a short walk away. Highly recommendable!

    amazing stay with spacious rooms, great location, and incredibly helpful staff. Armando's sloth tour was the highlight, going above and beyond to show us the red eyed tree frog two days later.

    The value for money at Arenal Xilopalo was excellent, with spacious rooms, comfortable beds, and a good hot shower. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the vibrant center of town. The staff treated us like royalty, always friendly and helpful.

    The breakfast experience could have been improved with better customer service from the waitress and a more welcoming atmosphere in the restaurant.

    The location is surrounded by beautiful nature, with a backyard that overlooks a jungle and offers sightings of wildlife such as sloths and caymans. the rooms are spacious and clean, with amenities like a coffee maker and a fridge for convenience. the dining hall has a stunning view of a volcano and the breakfast is fantastic, with options like rice and beans, eggs, pancakes, and omelettes.

    The pillows are a bit hard, which could affect the quality of rest.

    The owner was very helpful and gave great suggestions for activities and booked our transport. The location was perfect, close to bars and restaurants and within walking distance of the sloths walk.

    The reception closed at 9pm with no emergency number, which was inconvenient when our room key broke. , the cleaning staff only came after 2pm, making it difficult to have our room cleaned when we returned from our morning activity.

    We had an exceptional stay at Arenal Xilopalo Villa. The staff was friendly and helpful, providing us with great advice and deals on local tours. The birdfeeding area in the garden was a highlight, allowing us to watch many types of birds. The rooms, although not super fancy, had a rustic charm that added to the jungle-like feel of the place. I highly recommend this hotel.

    The family apartment provided ample space for our group of four, with two large rooms, a kitchen, bathroom, and living room. the highlight was enjoying breakfast with a breathtaking view of the volcano and a variety of birds, including toucans and hummingbirds. the staff were incredibly helpful, assisting us with reservations, tours, and activities at discounted prices. We even got a 30% discount on our room rate. We highly recommend the sloth tour with Armando, which was both fun and affordable at $25/person. Plus, paying in cash gave us an additional 10% discount. The onsite parking and reliable WiFi were also great bonuses. Cons: Almost perfect! 😊.

    I had an amazing stay at this charming hotel in La Fortuna. The family who runs the place are incredibly warm and friendly, always checking in to make sure I was comfortable. The rooms were large, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The hotel's location was perfect – close enough to town to be convenient, but nestled in nature for a peaceful and quiet atmosphere. The staff went above and beyond to help me arrange activities and make my stay enjoyable. Plus, the hotel had a beautiful garden and a fantastic restaurant with a special discounted menu for guests.

    The breakfast offerings could be improved by including it in the room rate.

    I was pleasantly surprised by the warm and friendly welcome I received at Arenal Xilopalo. The staff went above and beyond to make me feel comfortable and gave me a refreshing glass of juice upon arrival. The room I stayed in was spacious and clean, with a large bathroom and hot water. I loved waking up to the sounds of birds and other animals from the surrounding rainforest. The breakfast buffet was delicious and had a good variety of options. The location of the hotel was great, just a short walk away from town and with stunning views of Volcano Arenal. I also appreciated the helpfulness of the staff, especially Jose, who provided valuable information about tours and activities in the area. I had a fantastic stay at Arenal Xilopalo and would highly recommend it.

    Our stay at Arenal Xilopalo was incredible value for the money. The rooms were spacious, comfortable, and spotlessly clean. The location was perfect, just a short walk away from the town center, yet tucked away in a peaceful and quiet residential area. The staff were extremely friendly and went above and beyond to assist us with organizing activities and providing helpful tips. Additionally, the hotel's beautiful setting offered stunning views of the Arenal Volcano and the chance to spot wildlife, like sloths and turtles, right on the property.

    Breakfast items could be improved for a better experience.
