I'll get to my point later, first I'll talk about the hotel. The hotel is excellent. The staff is extremely nice, the owner is a very nice lady. The villas up top feels extremely natural, you get a sense of tranquility and relaxation. Breakfast is free, they can provide you anytime (except passed 7pm-8pm) shampoo, towels, even will loan you... More

This was my second stay at Karahe, and it was a far better experience from some 15 years ago. The former stay was during a prior ownership. The present owners, management, and staff were a pleasure to be with during our brief three night stay. We almost wished we'd stayed our whole trip there since Arenal had turned out to... More

Great location for this nice, basic place. Decent restaurant, clean tidy rooms, and most important...the AC worked! Great location on the beach and walking distance to the park and nightlife. Nice choice. More

We stayed here for 3 nights. Our goal was to have some time to relax and to visit the nearby nature park. We stayed in the beachfront appartements.

We stayed and Karahe Hotel for 3 nights. It is a small hotel that had a nice pool with a shaded jacuzzi looking pool that was not heated and so it was a perfect place to cool off out of the sun. Next to the pool is the restaurant/bar that has a view of the beach - beautiful and very... More

Pros: delicious tico breakfast (included), beautiful views from the villas. Lots of iguanas on the stairways. Can hear monkeys at night - can spot them in trees around the area. Excellent services: free beach towels, helpful in booking adventures-whitewater rafting with Unique Tours that included swimming in waterfalls and lunch. AC in rooms. Staff very friendly. Internet access in main... More

I know this is one of the original hotels on this beach and it seemed pretty popular among Ticos. Whereas the resort in Arenal was all international tourists, this crowd seemed more like local families on vacation. We were there over Easter weekend so I understand the beach is where everyone in the country goes to on vacation. So you... More

We stayed at this hotel and we were treated great. Breakfast could be better. Just few steps from the beach there was wildlife everywhere: birds, iguanas and monkeys surrounding the poll. Helpful staff and a good dinner at the restaurant. More
