Small resort with pool and larger warm 'hot spring' water pool with swim up bar. Great views of Arenal when no fog/clouds around. Easy to get around, though not flat.
Each room is it's own building. Room was basic without a lot luggage space. Bath was fine with hot shower and small sink. Covered balcony/patio on back of each facing Arenal.
Breakfast was quick with 4-5 options from Omelet to Pancakes and was offered at your choice of 7-8am or 8-9.
Dinner was good with reasonable prices and we ate there both nights.
Road sign can be hard to notice. Though google maps worked well.

Great views and ok enough hotel for the price.
However, two very bad things for us where that 1. the hot springs at the hotel were green and disgusting, we didn't went in (visited others in the same area with clear water and clean pools) and 2. We were on vacation, we wanted to relax, not do alarms and early runing around, so our breakfast was included, we got to the restaurant at 8:30 am (the fact that we didnt want an early morning does not mean we spleep until noon) and the guy at kitchen told us they were closing at 8:40 so very sorry for us but no breakfast service, and indeed we were serve none. Not the type of service and treatment you will expect at a retreat hotel where the only reason they get people in is vacations.

The best hotel we could’ve hoped for. Every room has a view of Arenal Volcano, as do the restaurant and pools area. The best part was having a hot spring in the property and getting to use it every day after excursions. It was also great to soak in a hot spring while using the pool. Service was great and everyone was friendly. I would definitely go back!

A must stay! The entire staff was stellar. When we arrived the service for the entire stay operated a high level. The restaurant provided high quality food and service. The pools were clean and we loved the on property Thermal pool. Estrella, Marianna, Kevin, Ryan, Felipe, Keylor and Randall are staff you must meet on your stay. Wi-Fi is available and reliable! The only thing that I would recommend is brush up on your Spanish because satellite tv is provided, but in Spanish which tested my skills (lol). A plus is from any location on the property you have a spectacular view of Arenal volcano, especially in the morning for breakfast and at sunset for dinner. I would definitely recommend this hidden jewel!

We loved the location, views and privacy of this hotel! We could see the volcano from our room, the pool & hot spring pool were great and never busy and the staff were SO nice and helpful.

The front desk booked all our excursions/ activities for us and sent us the confirmation through whats app. We loved how the drinks and food are charged to a tab to be paid upon check out.

The only negative about this hotel is that the rooms are a little outdated. The beds were small and not comfy. Otherwise, the hotel is clean, has free parking, fresh towels, and is a close 10 min drive to La Fortuna.

The staff at Miradas Arenal Hotel & Hotsprings were very accommodating and friendly. Kevin, Mariet, Randle, and Feilipe were excellent and attentive. They always made sure that I was comfortable and getting the most out of my Arenal/La Fortuna experience. They helped me find the best ATV touring company, birdwatching company, and zip lining company. The breakfast was brilliant and both choices were tasty and healthy. I really felt appreciated and part of the family after awhile. They even upgraded my bungalow when a leak was found in my old one. The only upgrade I'd suggest would be to some minor cosmetic details of the property, but these were minor. Overall great place, great staff, and they really make you feel appreciated when you're there.

Great for the price

We stayed at a few properties in the area, 3 to be exact, 1 of which was the nicest (and thus most expensive) in this region. For a more budget friendly option, this hotel is great. Much better than another one we stayed at for about ten bucks more per night. The AC was nice, there was a parking spot right in front for each building (each guest room is in its own building). And the shower was large. The breakfast was nice, and the bar and hot spring pool were lovely.
We are people that are very susceptible to bug bites and the window to the shower was structurally very dodgy, and cracks on the edges of where the glass meets the window frame. Also for what its worth, the doors are entry by key (not keycard) which can be annoying late at night, when there are big bugs flying around.

This is a great pick!

This place blew us away!! The pictures of the place did not do it justice. When we rolled through the entry gate into the \"compound\" we felt like we were entering another world- tropical, spacious, colorful, finely manicured and detailed in every way. The house was nice, the furnishings above expectations. The staff was excellent and attentive to our every need and question/request. The pool and pool area were amazing! Iguanas and tropical birds were a constant! Perfect for our family of four. The breakfast/restaurant was perfect in every way. Erik was a great host.

First thing first the location of the hotel is great not far at all from the the main town. Check in was fairly easy but as soon as we walked into the room we were overwhelmed with the smell of bleach. The windows don’t open so it’s impossible to air out the room. We had some sort of decoration on the bed which was our towel, our only towel. I had to run back to the receptionist and ask for more towels because they leave at 10 pm the guy gave me only 2. The next day we were gone for the day to come back to our room that had been entered by staff, they made the bed but also turned off the ac and didn’t bother to replace the towels. The room gets a lot of tiny ants that will get all over your clothes and luggage. Breakfast is included but isn’t special at all we were given fruit which was ok, coffee was nothing special nor was the breakfast, I had scrambled eggs with a sliced hot dog and rice and beans which were dry. You will be charged for any extra item you ask for, as cheap as breakfast is I’d recommend making the short drive into town for something more satisfying also breakfast is from 7 to 830 am. I stayed in room 9 so the volcano is right in front of the balcony and was a beautiful view because it was a beautiful day... Due to my experience I personally wouldn’t stay there again because the air b&b I had before was so much nicer for the same price. Check out was a breeze which is always a nice thing I would give the experience a 4 out of 10.

Great view, horrible cabin.

The view of the mountain from cabin #2 was spectacular. Too bad the cabin was not. The room was converted to an accessible room leaving holes in the bathroom floor and shower. The bath needs to be gutted. A king size bed was placed in the cabin. The room was so small that the side of the bed was pushed against the wall making it impossible to get out of bed without climbing out the bottom. Poorly done. Without the great view, we would have left.

Loved This Property!

This property had everything that you could want and in a great location. I loved the bungalows with the glass doors leading to the little patio with the amazing views. The natural hotsprings pool with the bar was so relaxing after a day of hiking. The entire outdoor space was fantastic and so peaceful. The room was in perfect condition with a comfortable bed, fridge, and A/C. The food was good and everyone was so nice. It was very convenient just to eat onsite. We booked several properties on this trip and this one was hands down my favorite. We split our stay in Arenal with an observatory that was much more expensive but I would not do that again since I loved this place so much and it was half the price.

Mildew room would prevent me from booking again

Nice property but there was condition issues. Understand that this is Costa Rica and the region is humid. However, the room smelled heavily of mildew. The bathroom showerheads doesn't spray properly allowing water to run down the shower enclosure which had large holes in the tile for the shower knobs. The AC split unit wasn't functioning properly. During our last night there the AC water drain backed up and drained INTO the room.

The people are nice and we loved the view of the arena volcano but mildew and plumbing issues will prevent me from staying again.

Hotel Mirada Arenal

We had an adorable bungalow looking right out at Arenal Volcano which was so beautiful. It was during the off season and so we were the only people staying on the property. The property had a grazing area for about 20 cattle which was beautiful and there was a new baby calf to boot! The breakfast was fresh fruit, eggs and beans and rice, juice and coffee and you had about three different choices each morning. The staff was very helpful and friendly as are all the people we met in Costa Rica. I would highly recommend staying here for a very relaxing vacation near some great hikes and the La Fortuna area.

Great view and close to amenities

Only spent one night there. Room was clean and front desk clerk, Chris, was very friendly and helpful. We had a perfect view of Arenal Volcano from our front deck. La Fortuna was minutes away as were activities such as zip lines, hiking trails and hot springs...recommend renting a vehicle for this area. Had a great time and would definitely stay there again!!

Great View

This hotel was awesome! Friendly staff, GORGEOUS view, own little bungalow, spatious room, delicious continental breakfast. Great location - about 5-10 minute drive into La Fortuna. I didn't want to leave! I would definitely stay here again.

A perfect stay at a perfect hotel!

Our stay was PERFECT! We stayed in 5 different hotels during our travels in Costa Rica and this was truly our favorite. The location is spectacular (close to town, all of the major sites, and with an awesome view of the volcano), the breakfast was superb, the room was private, quiet, and comfortable, and, best of all, the staff really went above and beyond in every detail. We were warmly greeted and made to feel like family during every moment of our stay. My mother is already wanting to go back to Costa Rica just so stay at this hotel. It was truly a highlight of the trip! A special thanks to the staff who made our stay so incredibly enjoyable!

Very impressed!

This was exactly what I'd hoped for when booking the cabin. It's really more of a cabin than a room, and the relative seclusion, privacy and beauty of the place impressed. The view of the volcano is spectacular - I can't imagine any of the higher priced places we drove past having it better.

I wholeheartedly recommend this place (free breakfast, too!) and will absolutely stay here again when I come back.
