I really enjoyed my stay here. The staff was above and beyond (atleast Blaz and Nazareth) Super pleasant, helpful and quick. The view of the Arenal Volcano was breathtaking from my room. Excursions were less than 15 minutes away. Cute little ducks be sitting outside the restaurant/lobby everyday.

We really enjoyed our stay here! We stayed 4 nights, and our stay was so peaceful and beautiful with a view of the volcano! We had an issue with bugs in our room, I assume this was due to a small crack in the wood boards of the walls. The staff is so friendly, and they were so helpful and explained the area too. My only other complaint was that they ask you what time you want to have breakfast each day, but you have to check in and then wait 15 minutes for them to get it to you, so just be prepared to wait a bit. Overall we loved it and would stay here again!

We booked in the cabins/villas and our room overlooked the Arenal volcano! The room was MASSIVE, very clean, modern bathroom, and the bed was comfortable. If you are going to either Arenal and/or La Fortuna, stay HERE. There are regular rooms in the hotel building, but the extra bit for the cabin was the best. The free breakfast was delicious, plentiful, and cooked to order. The WiFi worked well. Staff was very friendly and helpful, and spoke enough English to do the job. Shout out to Restaurant 1 block away - Raul Castano - fabulous dinner also facing the volcano.

We were there 3 nights and several times we requested the room to be cleaned and it never was, which is especially important due to the requirement to put toilet paper in the bin. Our toilet was not working properly and they never fixed it. The walls are very thin and neighbors and the road were noisy.

My rating is this low only because I cannot select zero stars. I booked two rooms and a theft occurred in our room while staying in the Lodge. Someone, with a key, went in while we were out, opened a suitcase and stole jewelry. We spoke with another guest and the same thing happened to his wife at approximately the same time. We both complained to the manager and she said to "file a police report" before they would investigate. We both did and the police came and questioned the manager. She denied the theft even occurred. Our follow up with her received a blatant denial and refusal to even question her housekeeping staff. If you value your security and safety, I caution you to think again before staying at the Arenal Roca Lodge & Bungalows.

The staff was very hospitable and kind. I had a difficult stay in my bungalow because there were so many ants. Geckos would poop and ants would come and it was a huge ongoing problem. The bungalows are very rustic. It’s freezing at night event in the high 60’s because there is nothing between you and the forest except some wood paneling. When it rained it leaked through the roof. It wasn’t the most comfortable stay. The cycaidas were so loud and the geckos chirps….its definitely for a certain type of person and that person wasn’t me.
