GreenLagoon Wellbeing Resort

I didn't realize how far I would be from La Fortuna when I booked this hotel. Nevertheless, there was much to enjoy. First of all I'd like to thank the front desk person Ricardo, who recommended both using Uber, for discounted transportation, and also the Cano Negro boat tour, which was wonderful. It is in a beautiful location within walking distance of the Arenal Waterfalls. The grounds were serene and offered plenty of access to trails. La Fortuna is very pleasant for restaurants and gift shops.

This place was a perfect place to start our family vacation. We had a bungalow on the top of the property (#12) which was solid glass - each room including the shower. Woke up to a monkey, hummingbirds, and birds galore. Breathtakingly beautiful view of the whole valley. Beds were the most comfortable of our entire trip, breakfast staff was extremely kind and friendly. She was the only person we really knew talked to in this very private and hidden gem. I don’t know if I would consider with out a ca. we did walk down to the waterfall and a hike up the property but it is not close to town. (Pool was cold but clean). I would love to see some of the other areas updated.

We were very pleased with our stay at Arenal Waterfall Lodge! The staff were friendly and accommodating, the included breakfast was filling and delicious, and the proximity to town and trails was perfect. Highly recommend staying here!!

All for of us liked the hotel. Beautiful view from the swimming pool. Friendly staff. The rooms are comfortable and original, with lots of wood. It is a large property with a few cabins here and there in addition to the main lodge that has more typical rooms. There is a 2 hour hike from the property to the lake

Unfortunately, we had unseasonably bad rain--like rainy season level rain--so we didn't get to enjoy the views as much. We loved this lodge though! The villa was perfect. There was plenty of space. The screened back porch was a delightful place to enjoy a sunrise. I wish I had more time there--and better weather. ||**Pro tips**|1. Bring ear plugs. The rain really comes down, and there are lots of active night animals. I would not have slept without them.|2. Bring your own coffee if you need it before breakfast opens. The kitchen is stocked with supplies, but not consumables.|3. Watch out for snakes at night. I despise them, and of course there was one sitting on the road!

Nice and quiet hotel. If you have a car is ok, but if you have to walk is a little far from the downtown. Breakfast is good, it has a good parking place, a small piscine. |We had a good time and slept like a babies because there is no noise… bed are comfortable

Upsides: Hands-down the best views possible. We stayed here twice already and each time we are awe of the view. You get to see the town view not the volcano but still amazing. Try to get a place with a private pool and it will feel like your own little kingdom. Huge value for the money spent As the villas are very large and generally well kept. Included made to order breakfast is a plus! All the staff members were super nice and helpful and accommodating. Downsides: The road getting there is very rough. Some taxis did not want to go up the hill but if you have a decent car then you’re Okay. You’re in the middle of the jungle so there are lots of bugs inside the villas. They could probably do a better job controlling them but it is in the jungle so there’s that. The place was probably luxurious and it’s own day but it’s a bit dated and difficult to keep perfect. The views and private pool make it all worth it though.

WORST PLACE !! Run!! Checked in on 29th of November, left my villa for a tour, came back 3 hours later to find out that both of our MacBooks , my Garmin watch, AirPods and even iPhone charger were stolen and my bathing suite , by hotel workers! How do I know it was hotel workers- because no sign of break in, our villa was open with the key by those thief and they locked the door after themselves after they stole $3000 worth of our belongings. When we approached them they just started playing stupid, like oh, no way, blah blah, one of them even came to our room and started taking pictures- of what? Stolen stuff that is not in the room? It couldn’t be more obvious that it’s an inside job. Do yourself a favor and don’t stay here
