We were given a recommendation to stay at this hotel by a relative of the owner. The hotel itself is very ordinary and on a busy street. We were shown a room and then given another upon checkin. There were no other patrons at the hotel. When asking for ice I was told to go across the street and buy... More

Great staff although most do not speak English but very willing to assist. On main road (only road in town really) and can be noisy in morning with people going to work. Breakfast next door is nice with a few options (and the restaurant male owner was the nicest person I met in the whole country). Small and cold pool.... More

Nice clean rooms at a reasonable cost, excellent food at the soda next door and friendly service make this hotel a good choice to stay in near Arenal. Rooms are basic but have TV and air conditioning and a nice little pool at the back of the hotel. It's a 15 minute walk to La Fortuna or a short inexpensive... More

We stayed there on the way to the volcano the next day. For a night stop over, I would absolutely recommend. However, it's not a place where I would spend my honeymoon, but value for money (especially in the expensive town of la fortuna) is top. People are friendly and helpful, rooms are clean and ok.

Spacious clean rooms, just outside fortuna with all of the amenities you really need. Owned and run by a local family, you see the pride of ownership in everything they do. The rooms are as nice as most foreign-owned hotel rooms but you don't have to pay the high prices of a foreign hotel. Also on the property there is... More

We just got back from our wonderful vacation in Costa Rica. One of the main reasons it was so fantastic is the gracious people that live and work in this beautiful country. The owners of this establishment exemplifies this "open arms welcome" attitude that you receive when you enter any business here. Melania took care of our every need from... More

we have stayed at vista del cerro several times now and this review is based on the consistent level of service received every time. the location of the hotel puts you nearly halfway between the town of la fortuna and arenal volcano and the various properties with hotsprings. it can be a little noisy with trafic at times but it...
