Staff was passive aggressive via whatsapp when we made a mistake on listing the number of occupants. This wasn't a big deal as there was just a minor price discrepancy we rectified immediatly. The biggest problem was the nest of rats moving and squeeking all night between the bedroom and bathroom wall. Yuck. Google maps shows a pool on site but note, there is no pool.

My kids really liked watching geckos eating moths on the porch, beautiful views and assume it is generally a nice quiet stay other than the problem listed above.

Close to downtown area and easily accessible to all restaurants and various hot springs.

The room was spacious, perfect for two people. The bathroom was also big and cormfortable with a hairdryer. You're surrounded by nature and can see many bords from the balcony while having breakfast from your room. My only two criticisms are, first that the pillows available are too thick, second is that the wifi didn't always work properly in the evening.

Stayed as a family of 5 with tween/teen aged children. Beautiful property-the landscaping was exceptional. We could see a parrot pearched on our front porch every morning. The room was clean and comfortable. I would suggest bringing your own shampoo and shower supplies as the ones provided were low quality. Secure parking and hepful staff. Minifridge provided.

The lodge is in a beautiful forested area with lots of birds, quaint cabins and friendly staff. My main suggestion is that there are small improvements to customer service that could be made to really improve the experience. For example, I arrived at night and had to walk with my bags on the mud and stone street in the pouring rain without any light to find my cabin. Unfortunately I broke the wheels on my suitcase. It would have been good to have someone help me to go to the room (such as drive the 2 mins using a car or golf cart). Similarly, I took a taxi back to the hotel to eat at the restaurant one night but it was closed and I had to taxi back to town (no communication that it would be closed that day or any day). Would still recommend the lodge, had a lovely experience but think there could be some improvements made.

Nice place overall. Room was clean, nice view from our little balcony. However, we had 2 breakfast included with our booking per day but the staff there didn’t know so we missed it on our first morning. Also, nobody explain to us the way to get hot water from the shower when we got there, so we got cold water everyday! We were explain how to get it at the next place we’ve stayed. Seems that it pretty much the same ‘technique’ everywhere in the country. I would still recommend if you don’t have to get interactions with the staff. Not very present anyway.

The cabana was dated and could use a refresh. It had a great porch view on arenal. Decent for the price. The staff was not as helpful as other places we stayed. It was out of town and took a 5 minte drive to get to town so close but far enough away to give you privacy. We drove into to Red Frog for our morning coffee which I recommend.

Staff was friendly, room was very clean. Hotel centrally located, close to Fortuna Waterfall. However, the restaurant is not opened “during the weekday” so this service isn’t offered, making it inconvenient if you were looking to enjoy an evening settled in your hotel. Also, some days of the week breakfast is not offered at the restaurant so they will bring it to your room. No personal toiletries…..shampoo is the same as body wash they said, no conditioner. Towels are very numbered. Very little outdoor lighting at night. Most posted hotel pictures of restaurant or lighted cabin porches is not what you get.

Quiet and peaceful though.

A Hidden Gem in La Fortuna – Truly Unforgettable!

I recently stayed at Brisas and can't say enough good things about this place! From the moment I arrived, I felt welcomed and right at home. The view of nature on the property
was unbelievable! I stayed in the newest building C7, and it was absolutely beautiful– the highlight being the new front and rear patio with a nice hammock where I spent peaceful moments soaking in the surrounding nature and view of the Volcano. It’s the perfect spot to enjoy a morning coffee or relax in the evening while listening to the sounds of the jungle.
The owner is one of the warmest and most genuine people I’ve ever met while traveling. He personally greeted us, shared local tips, and made sure we had everything we needed – he truly treats you like family.
The front desk staff were equally fantastic – always helpful,kind and attentive. Whether we needed tour recommendations or had questions about the area, they were ready with a smile and great advice.
And let’s talk about the breakfast – it was delicious, freshly prepared, and served in a lovely open-air area where you can watch colorful birds nearby while you eat. A perfect way to start each day in paradise.
If you're visiting La Fortuna, Brisas is your best option. It combines comfort, hospitality, and the beauty of Costa Rica in the best possible way. I immediately extended my stay by 3 days as soon as I saw my room!
Special shout out to the property pups, Roxie, Molly, Sammy and Cookie for being great company during our stay. -Golfiteño

Enjoyed our stay here! Lots to do near this hotel. The little cafe next to the pool has great lattes and cappuccinos. The breakfast was okay. We enjoyed our dinner at one of the offered restaurants near the gravel area with the fire pits.
The staff were friendly and welcoming.

Quiet, beautiful family owned property. The breakfast is amazing and surrounded by toucans and parrots along with hummingbirds and other wildlife. Clean rooms with warm showers. Very close to many great food options if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. The family is very kind.

We had an amazing stay at Brisas. We’d booked a family room which was large and well appointed. The grounds on which the property is, are excellent with numerous birds. We saw Toucans multiple times. They’ve also got an onsite hiking trail. I would recommend staying here.

The property is excellent. Everything is fantastic, very clean, the staff is very friendly and customer oriented and the area is beautiful. For the people that like the forest, it is one of the best property that I have visited.

This was my favorite place we stayed while in Costa Rica. Quaint cottage on beautiful grounds. Very quiet and peaceful, woke up to bird call. A short hiking trail on the premises. $10 to buy breakfast which we did not pay for but there was a nice breakfast area so I’m sure it would have been nice. There was a small coffee maker and fridge in the room so we made our own coffee and enjoyed it sitting outside on the porch. Highly recommend!

This place was so serene. Surrounded by greenery, a beautiful walking trail on the property and about a 5-10 minute drive to town. The beds were comfortable and clean!

This was one of the most amazing stays I’ve had. You get to be tucked away in the jungle yet have all you need in town a short walk or drive away.

Our family loved our stay at Brisas Arenal Hotel. It is convenient to town, yet set far enough away to provide a peaceful getaway. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with the walking trail on the property being a great addition. Our room was clean and large. We ate twice at the Soda Tita Rosa down the street for dinner and really enjoyed the family that ran it and the closeness to Brisas. We were incredibly happy with our choice to stay at Brisas and highly recommend it.

Great hotel with view of arenal volcano and a short drive to la fortuna. Plenty of wildlife, mostly birds on grounds. Breakfast was great. Picture of our breakfast buddy.

Love and care from the owner of the property shows. We particularly like the fact that the property is 5 min drive away from busy downtown. Tucked away in nature. Enjoy beautiful sounds of wildlife, garden, and some bird watching. Breakfast and dinner options offered are delicious with local ingredients.

Great place!

We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano right from our porch. Very quiet place with lots of birds. The gardens were beautiful on the property. We had a car so it was a short 5 min drive to La Fortuna.

I’d avoid with families

It was a funny stay at brisas. There’s no denying that the setting is amazing. You really do feel immersed in nature and it’s very peaceful. I found the staff pretty hostile and not very welcoming, especially the receptionist.
It feels a bit more like a self catering lodge than a hotel. The room was dated, like it hasn’t been touched since the 70s but it was still clean and comfortable. With the air con it was either cold or very cold, difficult to get a happy medium.
We had a blocked drain in the toilet one afternoon, through no fault of our own. And when we told the receptionist he just said ok I’ll send someone to sort it. No one came to sort it until the cleaners came the next day and all they did was clean the dirty pan. The toilet was never actually unblocked. Maybe this is a normal occurrence.
Having to order breakfast at reception the night before was annoying. I’d understand if it was some lavish breakfast, but it was literally just rice eggs and toast. Not sure why this needs ordering in adavance. We forgot to order it one night so ended up skipping breakfast the next day through fear of upsetting staff by just turning up.
Be aware there is no pool, a photo on hotels.com looks like a pool although after re reading I didn’t see anything saying there was a pool so this is as my error, but there def isn’t one.
Also be away if you book as a family or more than two people, weirdly you only get 2 breakfasts included in the room rate. We were a family of 5, @ $9 each

Great cabin for family of 4. It’s nicely situated a few minutes from town, away from the busy La Fortuna. The grounds are incredible. Beautiful landscape with lots of nature. Lots of birds and a nice hiking trail right on the property. We loved our stay there and would gladly return.

The hotel has the basics, nothing extra, nothing spectacular. The staff isn’t very friendly, with the exception of the gentleman who prepares breakfast and knows about birds and coffee. There’s a young lady who yells every morning, arguing loudly without caring about anything. She has no knowledge of customer service whatsoever. Being the owner or the owner’s daughter doesn’t give her the right to yell as if she were in her own backyard. She argues everywhere, her voice and yelling are heard all over the place.
The breakfast lacks flavor; only the bananas and coffee are good. Hopefully, they can focus more on the customers and provide a friendlier and more cordial service.
