If you love nature, you'll love this hotel

We loved our stay at this hotel. It had everything we needed as well as being great value for money. The staff were polite and friendly and showed us around the facilities on arrival. It's not 5* accommodation but it more than makes up for it with the wildlife and views. Our room was spacious with 2 double beds, kitchenette and fridge. You can pay for breakfast with a decent choice each morning. Slightly out of the main La Fortuna area, but only a short stroll to restaurants. The main attraction for us was the location and wildlife. Mount Arenal is the backdrop where you can view it over breakfast, alongside all the wildlife that visit. We saw toucans, hummingbirds, red squirrels and woodpeckers and countless other exotic birds I can't name. There is a relax/pool area too. We booked a number of tours through the hotel and they were cheaper than booking through the providers website. I would highly recommend doing Armandos sloth tour, and he was also on hand just after sunset to take you through the gardens and point out the frogs and lizards which we'd never have found. All in all we loved our here.

There is bird watching every morning at the breakfast area which is amazing. We saw variety of birds. The hotel room is very basic, the shower was not great.

Arenal Xilopalo was well situated in area providing quiet evenings and beautiful breakfast views of the bird’s local to the area. Rooms were spacious but outdated. If looking for luxury this is not the place. It is affordable, roomy, and meets needs for a group traveling. Loved the rates to book excursions through hotel also. Did many things and staff were amazing. Night tour by guide on property was worth the pictures we will have for a lifetime. Much gratitude for this place.

I think the best asset of this hotel is the staff. They are friendly, approachable and with great communication skills. I also like the location because the hotel is beside a forest and lots of animals and birds visit it.
