"We thoroughly enjoyed our trip to Costa Rica and plan to come back some day. Was hoping the volcano would be a bit more active, but Mother Nature decides that. We found the people very helpful and friendly. I think the area is best for the more adventurous traveller who isn't afraid to try to drive the roads themselves, but anyone interested in nature will love it."

"I don't know whether we were there during peak season, but I was happy that it wasn't too crowded. The weather wasn't good the first few days, but it finally cleared up. We were glad to be there during a season with cooler temperatures."

"Loved the whole area. We had an amazing time there. We would recommend Arenal and La Fortuna to everyone, couples, families or anyone else. It's absolutely beautiful and full of things to do, if people like the outdoors."

"great area - lots to do (volcano, fishing, hiking, hanging bridges, zip lines, restaurants, etc) we loved it. a little colder than we expected and the road conditions in some areas area really quite bad. had to drive anywhere we went in the area (everything is very spread out) but well worth the trip."

"Beautiful area. We really enjoyed the waterfall along with the volcano. The volcano had entered a dormant period and wasn't doing much during the visit. "

"Arenal was just beautiful, suitable for all ages. It offers enough variety to cater to any taste, and the locals are friendly and truly concerned you enjoy your stay there. I loved walking around town and running into my bellboy with his girlfriend and we would just chat like old friends. Another night as we were having dinner we ran into a few of our rafting guides and we enjoyed a round of drinks with them. Who could ask for a better vacation than this?
I know there are a lot of natural spas in the area, but to me it all starts and ends with Tabacon. At first I thought it was a little steep but once I experienced the wonders of this majestic place I understood what the hype was all about. Just keep your wristband on and you can come back the next day like we did!"

"Arenal was the most beautiful place. We were lucky to see the mountain before the clouds covered it and it is a beautiful site. It was raining a lot at Arenal, which I believe is common weather. This was not communicated to us. However, everyone visiting Costa Rica should not leave without visiting Arenal. All types of people will love Arenal. The restaurants and La Fortuna as a town was also great. This was our best destination."
