Hotel a El Castillo

“We stayed here for three nights and my boys 14 and 10 loved the pool. The smoothies and swing at the restaurant.”

“The Retreat is gorgeous. The views of the Volcano and Lake are amazing. The pescatarian menu is perfect for vegetarians and pescatarians. All three meals are served. We did not have meals included but very much enjoyed dinner and breakfast there. The pocket sized gathering places are charming - slider over looking lake, dining room and reception, the separate lounge area with tea and coffee looking into the jungle. The evening walk was fun. The property is on the top of a very steep hill...

“This was an absolutely beautiful place. Melissa was so friendly and helpful. Next time I will stay here the whole trip!”

“Quest'hotel è molto bello, nel cuore del parco dell'Arenal (l'unico). Le camera spaziose e compde, vista sul verde. Passeggiata di 2 ore inclusa, colazione inclusa e piscina anche. Il riatorante ha la vista sul volcan e si mangia bene. ”

“My family and I had a great stay here! JP and his associates welcomed us and made us feel at home. Complimentary breakfast was great and the other meals were delicious. The room itself was great given you are in the jungle, so there was no a/c and typical sugar ants but nothing unexpected. The pool and the views were gorgeous. The hot tub was down while we were there but it wasn’t missed. We took advantage of the Lake Tour and La Tia’s massage services which were both worth the money. We...

“It is difficult to put my seven days at San Rafael Ecolodge into words, because even now reflecting on this experience brings tears to my eyes. In a world that often feels rushed and disconnected, this place truly felt like heaven on earth. From the moment I arrived, I was welcomed by Giovanni, Luis, and Thor, the sweetest dog imaginable. Their warmth, kindness, and sense of humor immediately made me feel at home. This is not an ordinary hotel stay—it feels more like coming home to family. As...

“What a special place. We loved the night tour with jimmy...saw so many cool creatures. Also loved watching toucans while we ate a delicious breakfast. ”

“L'ospitalità offerta dalla famiglia di Lelo è stata molto apprezzata e gradita. calorosa accoglienza e grande simpatia. un posto bellissimoe tranquillo, i ragazzi hanno pescato con lelo e giocato a calcio... consigliatissimo”

“Schönes Zelt mitten im Regenwald. Die Anfahrt war allerdings etwas anstrengend. Deshalb sind wir auch beide Tage dort geblieben und haben vor Ort Wanderungen gemacht oder waren am Pool. Der ist klein, aber sehr hübsch angelegt. Frühstück und Abendessen waren sehr gut. Wifi nur im Hauptgebäude. ”

“beautiful property”

“Ottimo hotel, vista e relax sononil top. Ottimo pub a soli 800 mt.”

“The location and property are absolutely beautiful! Incredible views! The grounds are kept meticulously! The rooms are clean and neat. The rooms are simple and yet elegant at the same time. The staff were very forgiving of my limited Spanish. A little harder to get to but worth the drive. The restaurant on property was excellent. Just a small sidenote… There was no air conditioner in my smaller room. I knew this going into it and the nice breeze that was almost constant.”

“Excellent staff, great food!”

“Faltaba nevera en la habitación y percheros en la entrada. La piscina muy separada de los bungalows.”

“Fare la colazione nel bel mezzo della giungla con gli uccelli che vengono a farti visita é stupendo! Abbiamo visto da molto vicino, oltre agli scoiattoli, anche un bellissimo tucano!”

“Great location within walking distance of restaurants, shops, cafes, park, and more. Clean room and friendly staff; delicious breakfast!”

“menu incluso limitato ad una unica combinazione, vedi foto. Yogurt…a pagamento 10$. Menu ristorante con prezzi per un piatto da 40-50$ in su. Struttura poco mantenuta. Personale poco collaborativo e tante carenze per una struttura tra le più care della zona. Mancanza asciugami per la piscina, capsule caffè in camera, sapone in bagno, ecc…peccato perchè potrebbe essere una struttura wow”
