I can’t say enough good things about all of the staff at Kokoro, they were over and above helpful. Felico and his mother Anita were so sweet and attentive, all the recommendations and tours turned out great. They were even able to offer us a ride back into San Jose once our vacation was over. The open air restaurant on... More

Kokoro was more than i expected so it was a pleasant surprise! The grounds are beautiful and immaculate, it gave a feeling of tranquility and serenity. You will get a feeling like you are away from it all but only with nature, your own little natural paradise. The mineral bath is a wonderful bonus, situated in beautiful surroundings. There is...

My wife and I spent four days here and had a great time.The view of the volcano are perfect from this place. We were also very pleased with the staff (Tim and Nestor) who bent over backwards to make our stay amazing. We loved the breakfast which was delicious and included with your stay. When I say this place needs... More

My stay at Kokoro was such an amazing experience. We were so pleased with the warmth and kindness of the owner and staff. We go such a warm welcome. The owner even drove us to our destination and took us on a hiking trip on their property. We had some really good chats and it felt like we were visiting... More

I'll try and keep my review strictly to the point, so that if your considering Arenal in Costa Rica I can help you decide if this is the place for you. First and foremost, Costa Rica, specifically Arenal...was a blast. The beauty of the jungle and imposing volcano, the "Pura Vida" attitude of the people, and the adventure possibilities, made...

My friend and I spent three nights here in February of 2011 (the drop down menu wouldn't let me select a date this old). I thought that the grounds were beautiful, as was the room, and the view. Unfortunately, during my stay the hot tub was not working, and each time I asked about it I was told it would... More

After researching a number of options for our family to stay near the Arenal Volcano, we decided on Kokoro and were delighted with the choice. The folks who run the place are very nice, helpful, and aim to please. Tim and Nestor, in particular, really made our stay a nice one. The bungalows are rustic yet very clean, nicely appointed...

Fantastic experience. Beautiful place. Felico is super friendly (e.g.,cooked us a meal when we arrived late, drove us around after our initial plan fell through). The mangoes at breakfast are amazing. Would absolutely recommend this place!

The property is lovely with a lot of greens, a couple of hot springs and a pool. The rooms were large and comfortable, fully equipped with TV (and cable including HBO), air conditioning and refrigerators. All of the rooms have cute little balconies and ours faced the volcano. The staff was amazing, especially Felico, the manager of the property who... More

Our group of 10+ from the US came in semi-planned, semi-not, and manager Felico took great care of us, while also sharing some great stories about his background. His time with us made the tourist experience in Costa Rica more personal and enjoyable. (Thank you!)
