Amazing place. One of the few times I’ve been to a place that the photos on the internet didn’t oversell it. Staff was so kind and friendly, food was excellent,... read more and the rooms were ridiculously beautiful. Me and my wife both said this was one of then best resorts we’ve ever been to.

  WOW! That is the word I have been using to describe this beautiful mini paradise of a hotel. Tucked away in Arenal near the Fortuna town, I now... read more know my new Costa Rica go-to vacation. My best friend and I visited this property in January. I still have dreams about waking up in our mini casitas and eating my free breakfast while looking at a cloud covered volcano. Seeing the other reviews online legitimized my thoughts on this hotel- I am not alone! The service is incredibly hospitable. I could tell that employees are trained to ensure customer happiness. They are very successful at doing so. In hindsight, the service was not 100% perfect (nowhere is) , but you can tell that there is a constant effort to make guests feel comfortable. Me and my friend spent a long time at the pool bar with amazing bartender, Oscar. We felt like the wet bar was too warm for our liking and without asking he turned the temperature down. They accommodate to what the guests want. I could point out many other examples that demonstrate excellent service. I have stayed at other properties in Arenal and all over Costa Rica- the service at Amor is unmatched. The Spa was incredible, honestly one of the best priced and executed spa services I have experienced. The food was also amazing. I do not think people understand how difficult it is to purchase, source,... WOW!

The food was also amazing. I do not think people understand how difficult it is to purchase, source, grow, and serve good food in Costa Rica (especially amidst a global pandemic). Somehow these people figured it out. We met the Chef Guiermo (not sure on spelling) and you could tell that he was passionate about producing great food.

(It was funny because chef was telling us how hard it is to keep the food on par at the same caliber of the rest of the hotel. He exclaimed that it is the most precious hotel he has ever worked at and that it is a daily challenge to keep his food on that level.)
Well, the man is getting it right! Highlights include everything on the breakfast menu, the burger, the ceviche, and the steaks at dinner!

The scenery just boasts this hotel to another level. I mean precious wood wherever you turn, breathtaking views of a volcano while you eat breakfast, beautiful vegetation throughout , and the coolest shower I have ever used. Oh, not to mention you have a freaking jacuzzi on your personal patio.

I could write so much more about my experience here. The name is so fitting- AMOR (love) ARENAL. I felt the love here. Somehow the team at Amor created an authentic and luxurious atmosphere while staying true to Costa Rican culture and not feeling pretentious. Amor Arenal... I will be back More

  We stayed at Amor Arenal for 4 nights whilst on honeymoon. It will be difficult to find a better hotel in future - our room was incredible, the surroundings were... read more breathtaking and the food was delicious.

Staff deserve a separate recognition - they were all superb and very thoughtful, with customer service on another level. We felt really looked after and they all made our time extra special.

I would highly recommend staying at Amor Arenal and hope to come back one day!
