Guest Reviews

Curt (10/5): - It was off season and there were very few guests but I really enjoyed it. Clean, pretty, nice staff. I would stay there again easily.
Michael (10/5): - Great view, nice staff food selection for dinner was nice and inexpensive. Have stayed in Arenal 20x all different locations. Will definitely make this our spot every year.
Jeffrey (10/5): - This is the best place to stay in the area if you want to be in a serene lake area and close to fortuna. Otherwise stay in fortuna. This property is quaint quality and with amazing hospitality. I hope to return again soon.
Ryan (10/5): - We just stayed at La Mansion Inn for the beginning of our trip in Costa Rica and it set a high bar for the rest of the trip! The rooms were cozy and comfortable, good AC, comfortable beds and private porches that overlooked magical views. The restaurant offered a great breakfast that is included but other items available to a low cost and the food was phenomenal. The staff there were the kindest, most attentive, and friendly people that were not only patient with our lack of Spanish but helped us with the language when we showed interest. It is a little bit of a drive to La Fortuna (~20 min.) but is very close to the Mistico Hanging bridges and having to drive a little was 100% worth every trying this facility offers. I will recommend this place to everyone I know and definitely return!
Anita (10/5): - Spectacular views and amenities.
Verified traveler (10/5): Amazing local stay - This place is a hidden gem. Blink and you'll miss it. In between Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna, beautiful lake views and if it's clear, Arenal Volcano. Cozy cottages with everything you need to feel comfortable including a pool and large hot tub. Great food at the restaurant on site (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and a small gift shop and another restaurant within walking distance. Great for couples and families!
Michelle (10/5): - Amazing accommodations
Jameela (10/5): - The hotel grounds are BEAUTIFUL!!! I woke up to a gorgeous view that I could see RIGHT FROM MY BED! The staff was very helpful and friendly. Chris was the absolute best!!!! He helped with everything from checking in to reservations to recommendations! The hotel itself is not in a “hot spot” but it is conveniently located on the route that leads to La Fortuna and popular hot springs. So, it was an easy drive to get to different activities and restaurants. I will definitely return!
Nadger (10/5): - My family and I appreciated the menu choices very much. Didn’t need to leave the property because dinners were well prepared and plated beautifully.
Anaivis (10/5): - This place is magical. The people are welcoming and kind. Service is great and the view of our room was astonish. What a great family time we had. Thank you for making my husband birthday so special. Hopefully we will go back in the future.
Rodrigo (10/5): - I especially loved just how nice the staff was to us, I can't remember any hotel or inn ever treating me and my wife so much like old friends would.
Julius (10/5): - Great Location with great view
Liza (8/5): - Musty smell in house at check in, beds were uncomfortable in all 3 rooms.
DILIP S. (10/5): - It was truly an amazing experience. View alone worth million dollar. Staff was extremely considerate and courteous. Swimming pool and Hot tub experience was great. Not to mention, food was very delicious and tasteful. I will recommend very highly and will say just have breakfast and dinner at this place only. There was some minor issue with the internet but the staff actioned it right away. You may feel place is slightly away from LA Fortuna but the price and experience, no one can beat it.
Joanna (10/5): - Great property. Everyone was helpful and nice. Wonderful pool and hot tub. Felt very safe. Breakfast is great. Didn’t have lunch there but dinner was wonderful. About 30-40 min to La Fortuna.
Marc (10/5): - Excellent rooms with great view of Lake Arenal and surrounding countryside.
Jennifer A (10/5): - Amazing property, views, service, location and restaurant! I would absolutely recommend. It is 45 minutes from La Fortuna, if that matters. I hope to get back there soon.
Kaitlyn (10/5): - I have stayed here twice now and I absolutely love it!
Brandie (10/5): - The property was beautiful and clean. The staff were so welcoming and friendly. This was a great way to start our Costa Rican adventure.
Mark (10/5): A beautiful gem! - Wonderful place to stay, quiet and peaceful, and beautiful views!
Misty (10/5): - This is a hidden gem, it takes a little while to drive after la fortuna, but the views and and the food are worth it!
Stephen (10/5): - Very clean, private, jacuzzi tub, beautiful view
Janice (10/5): - Beautiful Place
Alene (10/5): - This place has us wishing we could stay another week just to enjoy the beautiful view from the front porch of our own little ‘mansion.’ Everyone was so kind and attentive and the food was wonderful! Already dreaming about going back.
Brian (10/5): My family loved this place. - Service was phenomenal. My family and I had one of the best meals ever at the restaurant. The chef is exceptional. Everything was charming, comfortable and easy going. Money very well spent.
Karen (10/5): - Stunning views from each private cabana. Gorgeous landscaping to draw the birds up close. Very clean, quiet and secluded. Very friendly and accommodating staff. Loved our stay! Shops and restaurants within walking distance to pick up needed items and food. Highly recommend La Mansion, it was perfect!
Cyndy (10/5): - Great place with great customer service, place cleanness was spot on. Has a beautiful view and the rooms were awsome.
Karla (10/5): - Amazing place
JOSEPHINNE (10/5): - We were late checking in and have staff waiting for us to show us our “room”, reply more a villa. Beautiful views, beds amazing, ambience, breakfast was delicious. A great experience.
Tharaka (10/5): - Absolutely gorgeous views. Clean rooms and very friendly staff. Only downside if you w
Gabriel (10/5): - great scenery
Raj (10/5): - This property is fantastic . My wife and I stayed two days and loved it . The view is amazing . The staff were great . Everyone was so friendly and great service . You need a car to go see the attractions that are about 30 minutes away. The bar and restaurant are great . They even have a pool table and other games . Also just next door there is another great restaurant . Our villa was great with a porch overlooking the lake . Pool and hot tub was very nice . We will defiantly come back ! Check in and check out were easy .
WARREN (10/5): - The property was nice and quiet. The rooms were clean and staff was great.
Liz (10/5): - Beautiful setting , amazing Villas. Would defiantly return to this location if back in this part of Costa Rica.
Mark (10/5): - La Mansion is a beautiful property. Very unique with individual villas. We stayed in #10, which has three bedrooms, a kitchen, and it's own heated pool. The views of Lake Arenal are truly amazing. The staff was the best! Very nice, polite, fun and helpful. The restaurant is great too. We stayed here due to its proximity to La Fortuna. It's close enough to drive back and forth but far enough away to get out of the hustle and bustle of the town. I highly recommend you consider La Mansion.
Sara (10/5): - We loved our stay, very comfortable, clean, lovely view, kind people, good restaurant
Michael (6/5): - It if a very unique property with great views. However, there was little to no hot water for showers. We told staff about this, and they came to look at it. After that, we would get hot water for a minute and then back to cold water.
Verified traveler (10/5): Best place to stay near Arenal Volcano - The absolutely best place to stay near Arenal volcano. Such a beautiful resort with a great Costa Rican country flair. Comfortable rooms beautiful views delicious food.
Bradley (10/5): - A place of beauty of you can tell was not created in a month or even years but decades ,with attention to the details. Was one of the highlights of my trip.
wen (10/5): - Beautiful place. Gorgeous and large house. We love it.
Shahid (4/5): - You hear birds singing and lots of trucks roving engine when trying to climb uphill. I paid for most expansive family room which was right next to the street. I requested change that was declined with simple line “Rooms are already assigned and booked. There were only 2 people who running bar, kitchen, serving food, who also checked us in. Breakfast is as per menu. Strictly 1 item/person. I had light breakfast for myself, as I’m early riser. I came back with my family for their breakfast and asked for another cup of coffee when host replied that it’s not possible, as I have already had my breakfast. Same answer for my son who asked if he can have a cup of yogurt with his omelette. No internet. I asked for internet when host replied that my boss is coming to fix it, which never happened. TV was apparently connected to the internet as well. Not sure why they had metal lockable jail doors out side of the siding door of our room and even windows. It could be just design, But room key was to metal door.
Julie (10/5): - Cesar and his team were wonderful! The service was excellent.
Namrata (10/5): - Waking up to bird chirping and viewing sunset from pool is absolutely breathtaking . You need a car to commute . Taxis/ uber needs to be booked in advance . Breakfast options are limited. Pool / jacuzzi should be open till later in the evening . We enjoyed the pool table and chess in the late evening with kids.
Timothy (10/5): - The staff here is exceptional. Cesar is a great host and will do whatever it takes to make your stay memorable. He booked our white-water rafting trip for us. Chris, in the restaurant, was very attentive and even passed along some messages from the rafting company to us. It is about 20 minutes out of La Fortuna with a beautiful view of Lake Arenal. Lots of birds to see, too. This was the 2nd time we’ve stayed here and when we get back to CR, we will stay there again.
Jill (10/5): - Stumbled upon a hidden gem in Arenal! Hotel La Misión Arenal offers the perfect blend of comfort and charm. Nestled in lush surroundings with stunning views of Lake Arenal, it’s the ideal escape for adventure and relaxation. Our stay here was wonderful and I can not wait to return plus on my list of places to send clients too.
Ramon (8/5): - This was a fabulous place to stay. A bit dated but I was Ok with that. Would definitely stay at again.
Verified traveler (10/5): - Amazing location with view on the lake, tenorio and mountains. Birds, but quiet. Cool pool and hot tub in perfect spot to enjoy the view. We liked the restaurant for breakfast and diner Rooms were large and cozy. Only issue was a water pipe break, but they offered another bungalow right away and it looked repaired the next day anyways.
Grace (10/5): - La Mansion is absolutely beautiful and quaint. The casitas are adorable and spacious each with private verandas and rocking chairs. The views are breathtaking. Highly recommend this place.
Mark (10/5): - Excellent experience!
Michael (10/5): Cannot wait to go back!!! - The Inn is nothing short of fabulous. The location is perfect (totally worth the scenic but very windy drive getting there…just take your time and enjoy the ride!) and a great place to just sit at the pool and enjoy the incredible views or to take a ride and check out other areas. You get so much for your money there and they have a terrific restaurant and bar on premises. Cesar is a terrific host and a tremendous resource to recommend places to go and things to do. We spent 5 days at Playa Conchal and 2 days at La Mansion but I wish we had done the reverse and stayed in the rainforest longer. The sights and sounds are endlessly beautiful.
Ellen (10/5): - We had a wonderful time. Spectacular views of lake and close to Mystic hanging bridges. Friendly staff went out of their way to be helpful.
david (6/5): - This hotel is badly let down by the restaurant- greasy and expensive food. Pity because with decent food it could be well recommended
Dwayne (10/5): Pura Vida in Unit #10 - We stayed in unit 10 which had a private pool. Great view in bath water pool is the way to go. We had a great time.
Jennifer (10/5): - Can’t beat the view and the staff was wonderful!
Sameer (8/5): - Excellent staff, room was dark but the scenery outside is fantastic. Great food with large portions but very expensive. Caesar, Christopher, Fernando and all staff were excellent.
Dave (10/5): - Prople were super friendly. Got there early to drop off our bags and rooms were ready. Great view from our porch
Andrew (10/5): Fantastic, especially if you are looking for quiet - I loved it! The views are unbeatable and the value of that panorama at that price is incredible. The staff are really nice and accommodating. I enjoyed both the free breakfast and the outstanding dinner I had there. The rooms have a lot of fun and cool decorations and furnishings. I'd say the only 2 criticisms are that the wi-fi could be stronger inside the bungalows and that it's a bit far from Arenal.
Michael (10/5): Nice lakeview rooms! - Such a lovely place with friendly staff, nice breakfasts, great views over the lake, and a nice private room. Pool was lovely with views, with a hot and cold pool available. Great to have a rental car to get around the area, but I would definitely stay here again.
thalia (10/5): - I loved my stay at La Mansion. Christopher and the rest of the staff was so helpful and genuinely kind. The room was spacious and beautiful. The property and view was gorgeous. Waking up to the lake view and rainforest sounds every morning was heavenly. I didn’t get a chance to hike down to the lake because the rain was in predictable the morning we tried to do that. Breakfast was okay, not too many healthy options. Dinner options were okay. The Cesar salad was amazing! Although it’s a lil drive from places like La Fortuna, I would definitely stay here again.
Cody (10/5): - Great spot 10/10
Jane (10/5): - The setting is absolutely beautiful, with views of the lake and mountainside in every direction. The hotel itself is full of cozy, comfy charm and authentic Costa Rica pure vida. Truly heaven on earth! All staff from Ceasar the front desk manager to the entire waitstaff were kind, friendly and completely helpful with all our requests. I highly recommend this for any and all tourists who want to experience true Costa Rican hospitality at its finest.
Nina Le (10/5): - Our party likes lap swimming and their pool was delightful to swim in. The breakfasts were excellent and their dinners were, as well. Close to a couple of other restaurants for walkable dining options. Excellent paella restaurant next door. Loved the gardens, the wild orchids hanging on the trees.
Jenna (10/5): Gorgeous!! - We LOVED the staff, the pool and bar areas, and the stunning view. The staff made excellent recommendations and were so attentive during a storm re: informing us about the conditions of the roads, providing safety info, etc. We 1,000% would stay again.
karen (10/5): - The Mansion Inn was an oasis of peace and quiet with beautiful views. We stayed in Queens Cottage and it was perfect for our grown up family. Everyone on the staff was welcoming and friendly.
Wenxue (10/5): - Great place!
Roberta (10/5): - So charming! We absolutely loved it
Vincent (10/5): - The views look in person just as they do on the website. The pool and hot tub were clean. The villas are individual cabins, which are roomy but not too much. Breakfast included for free & there is a restaurant/bar open the entire day. It’s a 40 minute drive from La Fortuna but we did not mind the commute. In exchange you get really nice and quiet surroundings. Would recommend for family getaways!
Tushar (6/5): - This property has limited breafast option. Should have more options to choose from.
Maurice (8/5): - This property is about 45mins away from the busy resort area. The individual guest houses, provide views of the lake. The meals at La Mansion Inn are good and the variety is sufficient enough render driving to another place excessive. Pair all of that with friendly staff and you’ll have the option of adventure or simply relaxing.
Helen (10/5): - A lovely hotel with an astounding view of Lake Arenal and friendly, helpful staff. Just be aware that unless you have your own car, you will pay extra for transportation to and from La Fortuna. We were told that cab fare from La Fortuna is $60 each way.
Ravi (10/5): - The hotel was in great place, had a good view of lake from our room. We have enjoyed our stay at the hotel. The staff was very nice and breakfast was amazing with fresh fruits every day.
Cornelis (10/5): - The property is in a beautiful location, but has limited services nearby. Be prepared to drive 45 minutes for a glimpse of the volcano and for guided tours of various kinds. Especially during the wet season, the clouds rarely lift around the mountain. Bring a rain jacket. You are in a tropical rain forest.
wen (10/5): - The most beautiful hotel we have ever been. Breakfast was very nice. And the service was great.
Danielle (10/5): - Beautiful views from every angle made our stay special The location is away from the business of the city and is an escape Staff were fantastic and breakfast each morning was great! We had a car rental which was helpful as the hotel is away from la Fortuna but other guests arranged transport via excursions which picked them up from hotel
Nicholas (10/5): - Really nice
Verified traveler (8/5): Cute place - This is an eclectic place near the lake in a very small town. The people who ran it were fantastic and the food was delicious and plentiful. They upgraded us for free. We were there during a storm and there were few other places to go to eat so we did feel like we were out in the middle of nowhere. Which might have been more fun if we’ve been able to do some hiking and driving that was impossible due to the rain.
dan (10/5): - Wonderful staff, food and setting. We will return!
Peter (10/5): Amazing Stay! - We absolutely loved our stay. Our cabin was beautiful and cozy. We loved the paintings on the walls and cozy jungle vibes. The view was amazing. The food at the restaurant was so good as well and they were very accommodating to my garlic allergy. The staff were all very friendly. The outdoor pool and hot tub were beautiful as well. The view again amazing. We wish we’d stayed here longer.
Stephanie (10/5): - Beautiful property, gorgeous view and a quick friendly check in process.
Janet (10/5): - Beautiful place with an outstanding view across the lake and a very nice pool area. We enjoyed the birds attracted to the flowers planted everywhere. The unit was spacious and very pleasant with a sitting area outside. The only downside was that we did not enjoy the hotel's lunch and dinner service but the cook may change and there are close-by alternatives.
Luis Alonso (10/5): Great - Food there is not the best, the rest of things are great.
Verified traveler (10/5): - The hotel has a stunning view and a wonderful restaurant. They went out of their way to accommodate my child with multiple food allergies. We loved the infinity pool and infinity hot tub pool.
Melinda (10/5): - We absolutely loved the property, the view, comfortable beds, good food, nice hot tub and pool!
Steven (10/5): - Our whole family loved our stay at La Mansion Inn in the Arenal area. The hotel grounds were absolutely beautiful in every direction. We stayed in Villa #4, which had a King bed in one room and 4 twin beds in the other room. The hotel staff were very friendly, and there were incredible views from the pool. The only downside is the location in relation to other activites. It is located in the general Arenal area, but it is a bit secluded from the other main areas of Arenal (tours, restaurants, etc). That does make this hotel very peaceful and quiet, but there are not many options for dining other than on the property within 15 minutes drive. Overall we loved our two nights at La Mansion.
Shelley (8/5): - The property and staff were amazing. My only issue is we didn’t have hot water in our room.
Amit (10/5): - View is everything Rooms are ok
Naz (8/5): - This property was great. We got there and the staff was very attentive and the place was clean. My husband's and I only concern....they need to expand their menu a bit. But overrall, stay was great. FYI, I would recommend if you want to do excursions by La fortuna, check elsewhere. This is a bit far out. I would stay here for a relaxing, calm getaway.
Juan (10/5): - Close to volcano and staff very friendly.
Azra (10/5): - Beautiful and breathtaking location, paradise on earth. Staff very friendly and accommodating
Ghulam (8/5): - This is a beautiful property next to the lake in a very serene environment but there is nothing else to do around it. Food options are limited.
Jami (10/5): - Property was beautiful - the only downside is it’s not walkable to any activities and many activities don’t pick up from the location. I would rent a car if I were to go back. The team found us transportation - it would have been more convenient to drive instead of having to pay each time you left the property. Staff was wonderful , rooms were perfect, food was excellent , view was amazing - quiet and relaxing ..defintley would go back
Tanya (10/5): - This property is truly amazing! The pictures don’t do it justice it is truly magical! I will continue to recommend and hope to be back soon!!
Steven (10/5): MUST STAY HERE! - AMAZING BOUTIQUE HOTEL!!! Honeymoon suite awesome. 600 sf with large private terrace, jacuzzi & lake view. Fantastic staff!
M (10/5): - La Mansion Arenal was a comfortable, quiet, and accomodating property for our family trip to Arenal. It is quieter than La Fortuna and afforded beautiful views of Lake Arenal. Everything we ordered from the restaurant was delicious and enjoyed in a beautiful open air setting. The staff was kind and accomodating in all aspects. Allan at the front desk offered great tips on tours and the best places to enjoy activities with the family. I would easily stay here again and would recommend it to anyone looking for a unique place to stay in Costa Rica.
Líndsay (10/5): - Excelent place
Michael (10/5): - Wonderful property owner, great and attentive staff, wonderful rooms and breath taking views.
Rebecca (10/5): - The location of the property is its biggest feature. It is located scenically right above the lake. The gardens are gorgeous and well maintained and the infinity pool and jacuzzi are perfect for relaxing. The rooms themselves are nicer than camping cabins but they do still have cracks in the seams that allow nature to come inside. The beds were comfortable and air conditioning was a welcomed must. The staff were friendly and attentive. With the slight inconvenience of being a 40 min drive away from La Fortune, the solitude and views accommodated for that.
Manisha (10/5): - Paradise on Lake Arenal
Ann (10/5): - The entire stay was wonderful from the reception to checking out. Everyone was so nice and attentive. The view from the room was just awesome. We really enjoyed our stay and will definitely come back
Andy (10/5): - This property is magical. The view feels like a private oasis in the mountains. The staff are incredibly friendly and helpful. The accommodations are exactly as pictured but the views are impossible to capture. The pool is a great with cool water and in room coffee and a fridge were unexpected treats! Housekeeping came each day to refresh and restock supplies to keep us tidy. Horseback riding with Mingo booked through La Mansion was the best experience of our entire trip! It was just our family of 4 through the farmlands, mountains and rain forest. He took as at our speed and let us jog the horses a little. The animals were beautiful, well-behaved and well cared for! We got even more out of this experience because we speak some Spanish but you will love it either way. We spotted lots of toucans in the trees and the views with picture spots were great! We enjoyed a light dinner and a full meal on two separate occasions and they were both good! Daily breakfast included in the rate made it easy to start the drives to activities easier. The staff in the restaurant are all super accommodating and friendly! There is a Spanish restaurant w/in walking distance along with shops for snacks and coffee. We didn’t try them but were happy to see after reading earlier reviews. Our favorite spot was a pizza and burger place just a few minutes away. Eclectic and great vibe! Driving at night without street lights is tough on the curves so eating nearby felt important to us.
