This hotel is one of the closest built to the Arenal volcano. The rooms are very large, beautifully decorated and all have views of the volcano, even from the in room jacuzzi. The grounds here are lovely with a lot of plants native to the area. My favorite spot though is the spa with floor to ceiling windows so you can take in the amazing views during your treatments. Don't miss the thermal springs on property.
What I wish I
could change:
The thermal springs on property are a bit small but very relaxing. They also have a bigger facility about 3 kms from the hotel that is available to guests as well.
Why YOU should
go:
Arenal Kioro is the perfect place to take in all of the elements of the Arenal area in luxurious surroundings.
Arenal Kioro offers a fabulous place with a natural viewpoint of the Arenal Volcano. The hotel is set on 27 acres of undulating land, surrounded by two streams (La Palma and Kioro) with crystalline waters that begin to flow in the Arenal Volcano National Park. It has two paths where plant species are identified, and only 3 kilometers away, there is a property with private thermal springs for our customer's delight.
