Summary: Typical breakfast plus a variety of fruit, coffee, and juice. The view from the dining area was gorgeous. Robert and the desk staff were so kind and welcoming. The hotel was easy to find and they helped us set up an amazing horseback riding tour. Dinner had many super delicious options.

Summary: PROS : good for the value, clean, VERY friendly, pleasant, a gorgeous restaurant terrace with a superb view. CONS : Rooms & bathroom are outdated, they need a lot of love. OVERALLL : Think more of a cabin lodge than a 'Chateau'. Cheapest in the area, so it is good for the value.

Summary: Nice hotel with good breakfast. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Nice pool and jacuzzi. Quiet, neighborhood area with views of the lake, volcano and mountains. We went for a walk and it's very close to the Butterfly Conservatory and a local restaurant. About a 30 min drive from the La Fortuna town center.

Summary: My. Family and I stayed here a week. The staff was very friendly and we enjoyed the quiet atmosphere and excellent small hotel. The view was beautiful and they staff was very friendly and always greeted us with a friendly smile and always went above to make our visit pleasant.

Summary: We enjoyed the Chateau Arenal very much. If I could add a 1/2 star I would do so. It has a beautiful view, the pool and hot tub are lovely, the food is good and interesting, the drinks are delicious and the people are all amazingly friendly, helpful and kind. My only slightly negative comment is the remote location. While we enjoyed ourselves and loved the view, it was quite a drive to get anywhere.
