Hotel Roca Negra

Incredible place to relax after touring the area! We spent hours on our porch enjoying the beautiful gardens that they've planted throughout the hotel property along with the hummingbirds that the flowers drew. Sitting in the comfy outdoor chairs and laying in the hammock with a perfect view of the volcano that I believe every room is setup to have was just incredible. Between the awesome porches and a really great pool and game area (foosball, ping-pong, billiards) we pretty much were only in our room to sleep even though the room was pretty great... Tons of room and very comfortable.

Such a beautiful place. Clean and spacious room, comfortable beds, lovely pool and the grounds are so lush. We had a nice volcano view from our patio, and there were tons of different birds flying around in the morning (before 8am). Close to restaurants and other various adventures. We only stayed one night passing through from the Caribbean side, but I would definitely stay here again. Oh, road noise was minimal.

Absolutely amazing!! The staff were accommodating of our slightly late check in. They communicated well in advance to make sure everything was ok. The room was lovely, large with 2 big beds and big bathroom. Safe and fridge in the room. The first morning was the best wakeup we could have dreamed of, sitting on the terrace of our room to be greeted by an Armadillo, toucan and lots of beautiful birds. Each day more lovely creatures passed by. Staff were great. Elizabeth has a great sense of humour and both her and Eugenia were really helpful, From booking tours, providing umbrellas, laundry service and turning on the much appreciated hot tub after our long days walking. Breakfast was also available and delicious. Highly recommend! Sad to leave but forever memories. Pura vida!

Rooms were nice and the view of Arenal from the patio is incredible. Front desk staff was very pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was ok, but expensive (5000 colones per person). One eyed cat walking on the tables and spraying glasses/cutlery wasn't ideal. Pool area and games area were both nice.

IF YOU LOVE WILDLIFE THIS IS FOR YOU. The hotel is spotlessly clean, beds comfy, hot shower. But the best part is the gardens and wildlife around. I am not an early riser but we were up sitting on the porch every morning looking at the birds. We saw a toucan and an armadillo in the first hour. The staff are friendly, helpful and funny, a real family vibes place. The hot tub was a god send after a day trekking. Can not find any fault and think we really got lucky with finding this hotel.

The garden is amazing, we saw many birds and even armadillo once. Volcano view from window. The breakfast is well made, good value for the price. The room is clean, but nothing outstanding. It’s a shame that we had WiFi issue, basically no WiFi coverage for our room.

Very nice view of Arenal Volcano from our porch with wonderful rocking chairs. The property is enclosed and secure, with an abundance of birds and even pecaries. The staff is great too.

Beautiful, clean location. Bang for your buck. We stayed 3 nights. The beds were comfortable, the porch, pool, and gardens were beautiful. The breakfast was not included, but it was only $7 a plate. This place only takes cash even for the stay. It’s a bit of a walk the main town, but the restaurants across the street were great! We were greeted by Paula who gave us a tour and was very helpful. We had some issues using the key which frustrated one of the other staff members. The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbors.
