Hotel Paradise Costa Rica

Angeles

This is a quaint hotel, the staff is super friendly and helpful; plus if you reserve tours through the hotel, you get a 5% discount😁. 
The hotel view is priceless. You can see the Arenal Volcano (which was active from 1968 until Oct 2010. You can still see smoke from the cauldron) and the biggest man made Lake in all Costa Rica. The on site restaurant food is really good with reasonable prices.
Rooms are clean with a smart TV and coffee maker. No microwave, no mini fridge and no hair dryer, so plan accordingly.
My only complaint is, mattress are very firm, with small soft pillows.
There is no walkability, you will need a car to get around.
Other than that I really like this hotel.

Great view, perfect to getaway and disconnect

Very reasonably priced including a full breakfast.  The staff here like Anna at the reception and Oscar in the restaurant are so accommodating for our group of 6 adults and 5 children.  Anna booked zip lining for all of us.  You can hear the birds and watch them span their vast wings over the lake.

Spectacular view of the volcano and the lake

Wow!!. Just wow!!.
Such an amazing experience!!. Breath-taking views!!. Relaxing atmosphere!.
We (spoiled American brats!.) were at first taken back that Standard rooms didn’t have fridges/ access to ice, etc., but honestly, after a while, being immersed in such beauty, it didn’t even matter!.
The staff, everyone we encountered (a special shout-out to Anna - you’re a ROCKSTAR!!.) was incredibly sweet and helped immensely!!. with making dinner/ activities reservations. 
Beautiful property!!. Do go!!.

Simply incredible!!.

I have never stayed in a more beautiful locale and I’ve traveled all over the world!! We were on top of a mountain and can see off in all directions. Beautiful views of both the lake and the volcano. They have the sweetest pool and hot tub. I spent about 2 hours there completely alone. The drive up was steep but our car (sedan rental) easily made it up. Our room was fairly basic with THE MOST INCREDIBLE VIEW!! the beds weren’t the most comfortable and we did have some tiny ants. (We realize that we are in the middle of nature up here.)We notified the staff and they promptly sprayed and got rid of them. My advice is to not keep food and snacks in your room. 
The staff recommended a local farmer who takes horse tours, it was INCREDIBLE and extremely private, he took us all over his land to a private waterfall. 4 hours/$55 great deal and KILLER photos!! Highly recommend this tour!!

The incredible view cannot be beat, extremely friendly staff

Everyone was very nice and the view was magnificent! I wouldn't say the food was outstanding, but it certainly wasn't the worst I'd had in CR. Just being able to go straight to kicking back in my room, for me, after a long day of traveling, made the meal perfect. The bed wasn't even close to as bad as some and the pillows were fluffy. I wish I had had the energy to enjoy an evening swim because it looked great and I wish I'd had the time to hike up to the volcano from the trails that led from the back of the property.
The only real complaint...actually advice...I could give is that the road to the hotel and even the driveway up to the hotel were really challenging. Certainly not the kind of thing that you need a 4x4 or skills to do, but the potholes were so numerous and so deep that you could really just crawl along playing a weird game of frogger. It took me almost as long to go from Arenal area (15 miles), as from San Jose to Arenal.

Beautiful and Peaceful

It's a fantastic place, its location offers views of the volcano and the lake, it's very quiet and its rooms are pleasant, the restaurant offers little variety of dishes but enough for a two-night stay, the restaurant prices are a bit high.

Good experience

We were so excited for our stay   The location was amazing with views of the lake and volcano.  Extremely friendly staff and food at restaurant was delicious

However...
Our room was AWFUL!!  Mold and missing tiles in the bathroom. There were bugs everywhere.  The bugs were literally bombing us while we were trying to sleep

We unfortunately will not return to this location.

Great staff, restaurant and location too bad room was infested with bugs 😏

This hidden gem in the rain forest was so much fun. We saw jungle cats, monkeys, birds, and so much more. The weather was nice...a little light rain everyday. A lot of sunshine. Pool and hot tub were so nice. Overall the place was very clean. 

Jungle Retreat

Sitting in the infinity pool looking out at the volcano and Lake Arenal is just amazing. Extremely welcoming staff, immaculately clean throughout the hotel and grounds, great forest walk on the premises, lots of gorgeous birdlife in the gardens, including hummingbirds and toucans. Restaurant is a bit pricey for dinner but the breakfast (the tipico option especially) is great. Shame the pool bar wasn't open but it was quiet / low season so guess not worth it. Highly recommend this gorgeous little hotel - way nicer than the pictures suggest. Just one thing to note - the roads to get to it are "interesting", especially in the rain - so that 4x4 comes in handy!

To Die For views - unbeatable - good value for money

Unfortunately, he allows me to walk through the photographs and not read the comments to learn a little more about the site, I really don't recommend it at all. While it is true that it has a very good view, the hotel is very sloppy and more motel style, it is not recommended to go with the family. The pool was super dirty in a very sloppy area and it is close to a neighborhood where the inhabitants were fighting, at night you can't sleep from the noise of the dogs and the noise of the street, it is a bit dangerous place. To eat alone there is a lookout nearby and it looks like a village cafeteria, although the food was very rich.
