10/10 Exceptional

We had a comfortable stay at Anty Arenal. Check in was easy. The gal who checked us in was the only staff member fluent in English and we only saw her at check in/ check out, however we managed fine. The room was simply furnished but very clean with great air conditioning. Had difficulty with getting wifi though. Highlights were the serene pool area and hammocks on the upper deck as well as the beautiful foliage on the property. Breakfast was mediocre ( coffee mate for coffee and no fresh fruit) and the kitchen staff were not very friendly. The groundskeeper was the most helpful and attentive to anything we needed but seemed like a bit of an odd set up with non English speaking staff attending to the guests. Would recommend staying in the private bungalow rooms versus paper thin walls of the second storey rooms. Excellent location and very adequate for short stays.

DETAILED REVIEW - 3 night couple stay
DETAILED REVIEW Check in- the hosts were easy to contact, and check in was very easy. The small road leading to this hotel was right near the main part of La Fortuna, and it was easy to get to. The small road is not paved though, and the signage was easy to miss. The hosts- the people that work here are amazing. My partner and I have legit never stayed anywhere where we experienced this level of kindness. Everyone here went out of their way to help us with clothes that got soaked on a trip, shoes that got muddy, food requests, and helping us contact an excursion company when they were late. The room- we stayed in a simple room with a double and a twin bed. We used the twin to keep our luggage off the floor, and slept in the double. The room was comfy, with AC and a fan, but there were a couple issues. One, the bathroom remains insanely humid, and nothing in there dries. They have cords outside you can hang things on to dry, but we didn’t take advantage of that. Two, the curtain was see through, and anyone walking by the room can see right in even with it drawn. Three - the door was a bit old and had space under it. We did not get any bugs though thankfully. The bed tho was very comfy and we slept like rocks here. Property - beautiful, very nice pool, with a smaller one they’ll heat up for you if you ask. They have breakfast between 7-9, and it’s fresh, real Costa Rican breakfast. Checkout - very easy. All in all would stay here again! Highly recommend.

4/10 Fair

The beds were not as advertised, only one bed of four was usable. My son had to sleep on the couch it was so bad. No hot water for showers. Couldn't connect to the internet for more that a few minutes at a time. We booked for three nights left after two. Who wants a cold shower when you are on vacation and a bad bed.

6/10 Good

Budget local property close to town with several restaurants , shops and grocery store nearby. Spend your evenings in the pool or warm/hot tub and watching tv. There really is not much to do in this town, except rest up from your adventurous day or go to the thermal pools which are close by.
