We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Arenal Rabfer! The staff are super helpful—a big shout out to Fernanda and Fernando on the front desk, who were a huge help in booking activities (there is so much to choose from!) and transportation. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable, the pool is lovely, the food in the restaurant is delicious, and the location is fantastic: less than a block to restaurants, a bank, a fresh fruit store, and anything else you might want. We would stay there again in a heartbeat.

The pool was nice. The breakfast was OK - several options at the restaurant next door. The biggest negative was that the AC was right above the bed and blew cold air directly on us at night.

Great trip to La Fortuna
The staff was always helpful and courteous. The complimentary breakfast was great. Location was convenient to downtown and the city square and restaurants. An item was lost from my suitcase and the staff was extremely helpful in locating the item and went out of their way to return it to me.

My daughter and I stayed at Hotel Arenal Rabfer for 8 days. Our stay was very pleasant and peaceful. The customer service here was exceptional and my daughter and I loved the breakfast. Roberto was very kind and treated us like family. Fernando (the lady with the pretty eyes) was very personable and sweet. Everyone was supper nice and made us felt welcome. I would definitely come back or recommend this hotel to my friends.

We had exceptional service. Fernanda was fantastic and arranged for us to have breakfast to-go because we were checking out super early before breakfast was available. The room was basic, clean, everything you need. Walkable to everything. Pool looked nice though we didn’t use it. Would stay again if passing through la fortuna.
