Great trip to La Fortuna
The staff was always helpful and courteous. The complimentary breakfast was great. Location was convenient to downtown and the city square and restaurants. An item was lost from my suitcase and the staff was extremely helpful in locating the item and went out of their way to return it to me.

Clean small property. Nice friendly staff. Nice breakfast. Hotel did not provide any information regarding activities. Although they were easily available once you were in the shopping area. We used Uber for transportation.

Exceptional service
We had exceptional service. Fernanda was fantastic and arranged for us to have breakfast to-go because we were checking out super early before breakfast was available. The room was basic, clean, everything you need. Walkable to everything. Pool looked nice though we didn’t use it. Would stay again if passing through la fortuna.

The photos shown are not exactly how it appears. We were given a room that was so dark and with an outdated tv, no fridge for medication. There was. Very little parking for rental. However it was very near shops and restaurants.

My daughter and I stayed at Hotel Arenal Rabfer for 8 days. Our stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The customer service here was exceptional and my daughter and I loved the breakfast. Roberto was very kind and treated us like family. Fernando (the lady with the pretty eyes) was very personable and sweet. Everyone was supper nice and made us felt welcome. I would definitely come back or recommend this hotel to my friends.
