Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa

Todo. Podría decir que es el primer hotel en el que nos alojamos en que no se nos ocurre ningún inconveniente. El entorno en que se ubica es fabuloso. Con vistas impresionantes al volcán arenal (recomendable las habitaciones situadas en planta superior). Así como las termas existentes dentro de las propias instalaciones del hotel. En este sentido, nos ha agradado enormemente el delicado diseño y cuidado de los jardines: tuvimos la suerte de coincidir, paseando por ellos, con el responsable de ello (el señor Gilbert), quien transmitía una vibrante pasión y cariño en cada explicación sobre los jardines y lo que ellos aportan a la vida silvestre que lo habita. Es un lujo poder disfrutar de ello. Enhorabuena a Gilbert y a la dirección del hotel, por poder contar con un profesional como él. También queríamos agradecer a Fabio, del restaurante, su amabilidad y explicaciones sobre el entorno y la fauna existente. Nos hizo sentir muy cómodos y no escatimó en acompañarnos por los alrededores del restaurante para mostrarnos asombrosas curiosidades sobre los animales. La habitación también es excepcional. Realmente te deja con la boca abierta nada más entras por la puerta de esta. En las fotos no se aprecia la amplitud y lujo que tienen realmente. Se agradece también la puesta disposición de cafetera y cafés en la propia habitación.

Quizás pudiera mejorarse la ducha de la habitación, colocando una salida de agua con manguera, a parte de la existente.

Superbly run lodge near Arenal. Super friendly staff and great well cared for rooms. Grounds are great for walks. Breakfast (included) is outstanding and dining roof staff always has welcoming smiles. Lunch and dinner at the main dining room or pool is very good but is also expensive. To save money you can walk to the main entrance and across the road is a more typical tico restaurant that is good. We just used the hot springs on property as they are great and were fine for our needs.

The view was not the best some plants was just in front of tour window on first floor

This is our return voyage to Kioro. We had such an incredible experience last holiday, we wanted to come back. There’s so much that makes this place the best—not just one thing. 1) The people. Everyone knew every one of our family members’ names. Every day. 2) Their service is excellent. 3) The resort + amenities are exceptional. The rooms are generously sized, all have views, robes, slippers, umbrellas… 4) The hot springs on property are such an incredible treat. Don’t stay at a resort in the area that doesn’t offer this. And unlike some of the larger resorts, no bus-fulls of tourists sharing the pools. 5) The margs use fresh squeezed juice & too shelf tequila & are delivered pool side 6) The buffet breakfast is a highlight 7) The food & options are exceptionally better than anywhere else in town (not going to CR for the food—but theirs is great) 8) Wildlife. Everywhere. All over the property. Birds, sloths, raccoon things that travel in giant packs, monkeys jumping the trees in the distance… 9) Their view of the volcano from every spot on property. On a clear day you can see it puffing steam. 10) Very family friendly. Their social media images show tons of honeymooning couples. We were nervous it wouldn’t be child appropriate. Turns out there were lots of families and they cater generously to children: special drinks, menus and cute towel shapes on the beds after making up the room… We love it here. Best resort in the Arenal area. We’ll definitely be back again.

Came for a second year in a row. Met and exceeded expectations again. Wed highly recommend staying here. The accommodations were great and the staff was incredible.

This hotel is just outside of Fortuna town, with the most amazing views of Arenal volcano from our room. It is also the closest hotel to the volcano. Nice spacious rooms, clean and well laid out. Good food in the restaurant and pool garden with lovely gardens. Hot springs to dip in and out of. Friendly staff; waitors and service.

The property looks exactly like the pictures. Every room has a beautiful view of the volcano. Nice to walk around the grounds. The staff was very friendly and made a point of remembering names.

When asking about other activities in the area the staff was not helpful.

This is a beautiful property with impeccable service and amazing views of the volcano. Our family suite was very large with an instagram worthy view of the volcano from our balcony. The grounds are beautiful- the trees, flowers, water features, just gorgeous. A good sized pool and several hot springs are part of the property. The breakfast buffet was great- lots of choice with polished service. This is definitely one of the more beautiful upscale properties in La Fortuna. We had several tours that included various hotel pick ups and no hotel compared to the beauty of this property, even other five star hotels. I would definitely stay here again.

Everything was excellent. The grounds, views, amenities and all the staff.

Nothing can beat the location of this hotel. With direct uninterrupted views of the volcano. The rooms (at least the renovated ones) are beautiful and very comfortable. The central pool and associated thermal pools are lovely and the bar and restaurant very good. The main breakfast space is lovely, but I don't think it would work for dinner as it is not cozy.
