"We had such a lovely stay at Nuaku! The hotel is tucked away in the middle of a beautiful, lush jungle, surrounded by wildlife, greenery, and all the wonderful sounds of nature. The property felt very peaceful, clean, and safe, and throughout our stay we genuinely felt at home. The staff made our experience especially memorable. Francisco, the manager, was incredibly kind, welcoming, and hospitable. He was always willing to help and made sure we were comfortable throughout our stay. We truly...

They even helped us plan activities and surprised my sister for her birthday, which was so sweet! Big shout-out to Alejandro, Jimmy, Carlos, and Victor! Pura Vida !"

Top Muelle San Carlos Hotel Reviews

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"We had a magical stay - make sure you leave time to do the on-site tours and hikes. We saw as much in property (morning, afternoon, and evening tours) as we did in official parks. We joked that our balcony view was the best wide screen tv. I would come back to the area, just for this hotel."

"Lugar tranquilo, cerca del centro , privado"

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Gorgeous with attentive staff and amazing food. Best breakfast buffet I have ever experienced. Highly recommend."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"The property is stunning! It’s very private from hustle bustle down the hill so it’s quiet and you feel like you’re IN the rainforest. I saw a howler monkey from my patio! The property is very clean and staff were all very helpful and friendly. Yoga was so nice- outside and covered from rain shower but also up in the trees. Breakfast is great- tons to select with homemade letter eggs and lots of fruit etc. Pool and hot tub were great after all day activities."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"This was a fabuluous resort, even better than expected. The hot springs were clean and accessible. It was breathtakingly beautiful. There were nature walks on site with birds, frogs and turtles. The restaurant was good. The breakfast had alot of variety for all tastes and was plentiful. I highly recceomend this stay!"
