We had such a nice stay here which far exceeded our expectations (it was our first location in Costa Rica). The garden was so rich with animals: day and night frogs, so many different birds which we didn’t see even in National Parks, howler monkeys, squirrels, etc. We could just sit and be on the lookout for animals for hours without getting bored! The house was much bigger than it seems on the pictures, with 3 extra large double beds, a very well equipped kitchen, lots of space to store clothing and a nice terras in front that is safe from rain. Also the swimming pool that is close to the garden was so nice. Usually quiet as well, with one spot giving a good view on the top of the Volcano Arenal, especially beautiful at sunset. Breakfast was excellent as well. Last but not least Leonardo and everyone working there was so kind and welcoming. We couldn’t have wished for anything more and highly recommend the place to anyone with a passion for wildlife and nature as well as families with children who want to escape the busy and very touristic center of La Fortuna, but still be close enough to enjoy all its benefits.

This place was absolutely fabulous. It's a very big enclosed ground with lots of trees and plants. Every house - with its spacious rooms and bathrooms - has its own parking spot and its own terrace with stunning view on the volcano. After our hikes we were able to rest at our terrace and be surrounded with lots of birds - especially hummingbirds! The location of the hotel is also great - you can easily get to a lot of restaurants by foot, La Fortuna is a 5 min drive and Arenal National Park is a 20 minute drive. The staff is also extremely friendly, the breakfast was delicious and we really liked the swimming pool as well!

This is the second time we are at the Vulcano Hotel. The hot springs in the hotel are great and the possibility to use the hotel services before checking in to the rooms and after checking out is the best option in the area. The room was clean. Hot water and good water pressure in the shower. Clean and high-quality bedding. recommended.

Loved the room, the bathroom, all the details. The view from the room was great, as well as the springs, both inside the Hotel and at Club Río. Personal was kind and welcoming, an extra star for Jorge and Diego at the restaurants! I would say it was also pretty good in terms of accessibility. I truly recommend the Spa, Gabriela will make sure you to have the best experience. Breakfast was good and varied, they offer GF options including pancakes and toasts. I also liked having lunch at Tres Cascadas.

Mirador Silencio trails were wonderful for wildlife viewing (monkeys and toucans) with a hike to the 1968 lava flow line and views of nearby lakes and the volcano. Ecotermales hot springs was excellent with beautiful grounds and pools and great lunch and bar drinks. It had a quiet relaxing vibe with very few children/families. Our guided sloth tour near town was great.

Proximity to Airport! This facility standards were substandard. My wife hurt her foot on a dangerous doorstop, sewer gas was overwhelming, no hot water, air conditioner was not hooked up, pumping hot air back into the room. The stairs right from ground level were dangerous. English was non existent with staff. They were courteous and helpful. There were no privacy coverings on the windows. Open hole in Bathroom ceiling.

Bijagua is a small Costa Rican town.

Bijagua is a small Costa Rican town. It’s not a tourist town. You are very submerged in the culture. Learn some Spanish. Everyone was kind. We ate at several restaurants. We shopped at the grocery. We seemed to be the only tourists. It seemed very safe. The food was EXCELLENT! We drank the water. Read up on tipping. Stray dogs are everywhere. Do NOT pet them at the restaurants. We did the Sky Bridge Tour in Bijagua (a little hard to find - it’s at a resort) and the Tree Top Chocolate Tour. Both we excellent. We hiked to the Rio Celeste waterfall. That is not an easy hike. It’s through the jungle. Wear boots! Snakes are a VERY REAL. We also did tubing down the river. SO FUN!!!

When making your reservation, ask for the biggest cottage possible. Its all uphill and sometimes rainy and foggy when making your way here, and stay on the road ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE IT ENDS, at the reception, restaurant lodge. This restaurant was a total surprise. The food and service was exceptional. I vote for Jean Carlo as best hotel/restaurant host in the whole country.

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

Grecia is a wonderful little town.

Grecia is a wonderful little town. I was here to find a new home so I was looking throughout the area and visited Atenas and Naranjo as well. We decided on a place near Naranjo. In Grecia I ate at several local Sodas which were fantastic and a more upscale restaurant called Bariles which was fantastic. POPs ice cream shop is also highly recommended. In Atenas I ate at a really good Italian restaurant called Firenze. The Pasta Puttanesca was cooked to perfection. When driving watch for motorcycles.

I was amazed, and still am, at how friendly and accommodating the staff members, Maria Jos'e, Maria Paz, and Joxan Sanchez, all of whom welcomed me with open arms, were! They all truly made my stay there extremely pleasant and welcoming. The Resort itself is a truly quaint setting with 12 rooms, which made for a tranquil and relaxing experience - something I'm not used to in NYC. The restaurant is decked in style, with an extensive wine selection, yet welcomes a casual dining presence. The menu items are all prepared from fresh ingredients by a well-trained kitchen staff. The views are phenomenal, from the various sunrises to the sunsets, and in between. I can go on and on about the Barons Resort, but the best way to sum up my feelings about this beautiful place is that I will be returning there very soon!
