Everything was excellent during our stay. Staff is really nice, the maintenance guy help me with a flat tire fixing with his own kit (he saved us). Area is really well positioned for Arenal Volcano park and good food options around.

Beautiful Lodge & Great People!

Our stay at the Arenal Roca Lodge was great. Although the rooms are a bit dated, they were clean, the bed was comfortable and the bathroom was large. The view out the window was incredible, although the weather hindered our view for much of the stay. Randy at the front desk was incredibly helpful and very kind, he made our stay that much better. The breakfast in the morning was also very good, and everyone cooking/serving was very kind.

Liked: Cleanliness
I chose this hotel for the view, pool & surrounding area. I was disappointed that there wasn’t a closet or anywhere to hang your clothes, not even a hook in the bathroom. This became a huge problem because it poured rain the whole time we were there so our clothes were wet. Also, the day we arrived I went to get pool towels from the office & walked down the hill to the pool only to find it drained & the 4 lounge chairs locked up. Why didn’t the employee tell me that? The employees were all very nice but there seemed to be a lack of communication going on between them. Lastly, if the Lidge does not have at least 4 rooms booked, you cannot eat breakfast there. You have to walk down the hill to their restaurant across the pond. It’s a guessing game each day where you will be eating breakfast.

Good volcano views (weather permitting).

We had the farthest room from reception and main road and we had no problem with traffic noise. Breakfast room sits around 20 and can get crowded especially since most tours start at the same time. Our stay was short but pleasant.

The facilities are not clean. The reception boy even owned my $10 US dollars when we paid by cash for the room fee. We spent two nights at there and he never paid back to us. But he said that own me $10 US dollars !

Great hospitality! The room is large with good view of Arenal volcano. Since it is a bungalow style you can hear insects at night as well as cars driving by. It is an experience. We also love that they have two stray cats near the receptionist area.
