We had an amazing time with lovely Leo and all the staff .They made us gorgeous breakfasts every morning and helped us book tours. The night time frog tour was magical. We slept very well in the cosy beds and he was very quiet. Beautiful scenery and views of the volcano. It is worth having a car. Definitely recommend!

Fortuna is a beautiful small town. It is pretty active with lots of businesses, tourists, and diverse cuisine. It has a privileged location being so close to Arenal volcano. I definitely recommend places like El Silencio trail and Fortuna Waterfall.

We spent the night here because it was near the airport, as we had an early morning flight. We just dropped off our rental car, which was conveniently located near the hotel, and then went to bed early.

Bijagua is a small Costa Rican town.

Bijagua is a small Costa Rican town. It’s not a tourist town. You are very submerged in the culture. Learn some Spanish. Everyone was kind. We ate at several restaurants. We shopped at the grocery. We seemed to be the only tourists. It seemed very safe. The food was EXCELLENT! We drank the water. Read up on tipping. Stray dogs are everywhere. Do NOT pet them at the restaurants. We did the Sky Bridge Tour in Bijagua (a little hard to find - it’s at a resort) and the Tree Top Chocolate Tour. Both we excellent. We hiked to the Rio Celeste waterfall. That is not an easy hike. It’s through the jungle. Wear boots! Snakes are a VERY REAL. We also did tubing down the river. SO FUN!!!

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

Proximity to Airport!

Proximity to Airport! This facility standards were substandard. My wife hurt her foot on a dangerous doorstop, sewer gas was overwhelming, no hot water, air conditioner was not hooked up, pumping hot air back into the room. The stairs right from ground level were dangerous. English was non existent with staff. They were courteous and helpful. There were no privacy coverings on the windows. Open hole in Bathroom ceiling.

Grecia is a wonderful little town.

Grecia is a wonderful little town. I was here to find a new home so I was looking throughout the area and visited Atenas and Naranjo as well. We decided on a place near Naranjo. In Grecia I ate at several local Sodas which were fantastic and a more upscale restaurant called Bariles which was fantastic. POPs ice cream shop is also highly recommended. In Atenas I ate at a really good Italian restaurant called Firenze. The Pasta Puttanesca was cooked to perfection. When driving watch for motorcycles.

When making your reservation, ask for the biggest cottage possible. Its all uphill and sometimes rainy and foggy when making your way here, and stay on the road ALL THE WAY UP TO WHERE IT ENDS, at the reception, restaurant lodge. This restaurant was a total surprise. The food and service was exceptional. I vote for Jean Carlo as best hotel/restaurant host in the whole country.

Restaurant in front had great food. Staff was wonderful. And the restaurant was fairly priced as compared to other places in CR. Access to the river at the back of the property was the highlight. We spent a long time playing in the river. And it felt so private. And it was free!

I was amazed, and still am, at how friendly and accommodating the staff members, Maria Jos'e, Maria Paz, and Joxan Sanchez, all of whom welcomed me with open arms, were! They all truly made my stay there extremely pleasant and welcoming. The Resort itself is a truly quaint setting with 12 rooms, which made for a tranquil and relaxing experience - something I'm not used to in NYC. The restaurant is decked in style, with an extensive wine selection, yet welcomes a casual dining presence. The menu items are all prepared from fresh ingredients by a well-trained kitchen staff. The views are phenomenal, from the various sunrises to the sunsets, and in between. I can go on and on about the Barons Resort, but the best way to sum up my feelings about this beautiful place is that I will be returning there very soon!
