HOTEL FARO ARENAL

It is very good environment. A lots of birds and few sloth.

Esta en medio de una de la zonas más maravillosas de l fortuna de San Carlos

Bij aankomst direct heel hartelijk ontvangen. De eigenaren hebben ons goede tips gegeven wat er in de buurt te doen is en hebben ons geholpen bij het reserveren van de activiteiten. De kamers waren netjes en schoon.

My family stayed here in December. We stayed here on our way to Mistico Bridges. There was a great view of Arenal from the property. The kids enjoyed the pool even though we had run out of daylight. It was a different experience because they had few lights in the pool area and it was on the cool side.

The restaurant served breakfast; I liked that they had a few options but you weren't overloaded with choices. The food was good, and I enjoyed the covered patio. It didn't affect us, but the restaurant wasn't open for dinner time.

There were so many different birds there: pavas, hummingbirds, summer tanagers, and many I wasn't able to identify. There were also a couple of sloths, toucans, and some cool bees and moths! It looks like they take care to create habitat for the animals.

A downside to the area was the abundance of mosquitoes, which were so quiet you didn't notice them until you're covered in bites. I learned last week that Canadian Blood Services has declared this area of the country to have a malaria risk, so I am unable to donate blood until 3 months after my return date.

Finally, I was unhappy with the bed. Mine was very hard and the room smelled like it had been fumigated that very day. Perhaps it is because I have a stronger sense of smell than my family, but I was the only one to find it a problem. I appreciate that there was a queen, twin, and bunk bed option in the room. There were 4 of us and it gave the kids options.

wonderful view and experience for our family vacation, delicious breakfast! kevin and javier were a great help to our family
