My wife and I have been back to this hotel after a few years during a trip in Costa Rica for 10 days. It is said to see how much did change during the last 3 years, yes I agree and understand that there has been a financial crisis and Tourism business was suffering everywhere. Having said so however one... More

Arenal Kioro is a fabulous property. The setting at the base of the volcano is nothing short of spectacular. The rooms are huge and fabulous, each with their own private hot tub. My only complaint about the rooms, was the quality of the beds. At such a top notch luxury resort I would have expected higher quality beds and linens.... More

Stayed here for two nights. Rooms are very nice, all with awesome volcano views and eco-friendly. Grounds are beautifully groomed and the pools and hot springs (natural thermal waters with artificial pools) are lovely. Good service, food at the pool bar/lunch restaurant is tasty and not too expensive, but go into town for dinner. Very generous and included breakfast that... More

We began our Costa Rica vacation with a 3 day stay at this hotel. Though the drive was long (over 5 hours) from San Jose airport, we felt relaxed and rejuvenated as soon as the car entered the driveway of the hotel from the highway. Situated off the main highway, just 3 kms from the Arenal Park entrance, the hotel... More

This was, bar none, the best location and choice for luxury gardens, breathtaking volcano viewing, beautifully designed hot springs, and top notch spa vacation ever! The rooms were well designed and the services, such as maid service, restaruants, and help with planning tours was not to be compared. Guarantee that you will remember this vacation with fond memories for a... More

What a hotel! The attractions nearby are outstanding but even without those I could have stayed in the hotel all day. We spent a couple of hours in the hotspring pools which also included a massage froim the warm waterfalls. The rooms are outstanding: volcano and valley views at thge same timne and a jacuzzi tub in-room. What more do... More

The location of the Kioro is so lovely. It's right at the base of the volcano and the views are breathtaking. Our room was great with tons of space and nice amenities. I was with 3 other girls and we all got robes and enough towels and spa treatments scheduled together which was nice. Since the volcano is dormant, however,... More

Very professional welcome, lovely large rooms with hot tub in the room and a 'view' of volcano when it's clear, not when we were there. lovely grounds, but food is very, very disappointing and not consistent with the quality of the hotel. Example: fettuccine marinera has bland sauce and cubes of various fish that are indistinguishable. Desert Kioro chocolate surprise... More

My family of four stayed at Kioro for a week during June 2011. This was our first week in CR and we used the hotel as home base while we explored the Arenal area. First, the hotel grounds were beautiful. Perfectly manicured with tons of exotic flowers, plants, birds, etc. The setting, right at the forefront of Arenal itself, is... More
