We stayed at the hotel faro arena and had a wonderful experience. The property owner was very friendly, and the entire property was exceptionally clean. The reception staff were welcoming and accommodating, making our stay even more pleasant. The value for the price we paid was excellent. I wish I had chosen to stay at Fatima Arenal instead of the Magic Mountain Hotel, and I will definitely stay here next time. Highly recommended!

We loved Hotel Faro Arenal! This was our favorite stay of our entire trip in Costa Rica. Upon arriving we were welcomed by the family who owns and runs the property, and shown around to its beauty. I traveled myself as a single mother with four children and felt very welcomed and safe. I hope to visit again one day.
