Out of the many places we've stayed both in the U.S. and abroad, this is one of the best. From the friendly and personable staff to our room, and the hot springs, we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Should we return to La Fortuna, we'll definitely consider Paradise Hot Springs.

While there was an amazing view of the volcano and the hot springs was a nice touch, around the hotel was very dark at night and there wasn't many dining options to choose from. The breakfast however was excellent.

This is a very clean place with good customer service and thoughtful touches. The best room they have is worth it with a direct view of Volcano Arenal and a private hot tub. Well done.

The stay was great, the hot springs are amazing, the hotel is close to activities. The people are friendly, helpful and accommodating. We would like to see more vegan options for dining and a laundry service.

Beautiful, excellent service, high quality hot springs pools, perfect views of the volcano when clouds clear, cows, birds, donkeys, horses sometimes right by the rooms,convenient to all activities but quiet and felt remote, pools are drained each day, and stay open until 9:30 so you can relax before bed. Breakfast was great! Omelette station is included. Be sure to catch the happy hour on the viewing deck. Giant rooms especially for the price. This place surpassed all of our expectations. Only suggestion for improvement would be to post information in the rooms regarding the Wi-Fi password, hours of amenities and the code necessary to access the gym. If you get there late be sure to get that info at check in
