Essence Arenal Spa & Yoga

3.0 star property
8.6 out of 10, Excellent, (34)
"We had a wonderful time. The grounds are beautiful. We saw monkeys lots of birds and other wildlife right from our window. The staff is incredibly nice and helpful. The restaurant is cute and offers good food at a reasonable price. We had lots of rain while there and it does creep into the casitas. Our towels never really dried and the bed felt clammy too. So be aware of this and decide if that works for you before booking. The kitchen is also only sparsely equipped. It would've been nice to...

"The property is beautiful and true farm to table dining but therefore a limited menu. The private cassitas are lovely and spacious with a large bathroom and private patio. However the bed creaked getting in and out and whenever you moved and the mattress was so hard I barely slept. The hot tub was too scalding hot to actually enjoy but the setup was stunning. "

"Overall this place was picturesque... everyone was very helpful went out of their way to make sure everything was just right. The only complaints I have, they were repairing the walkway lights, it was very dark at night, thank God I had a flashlight on my phone. But I did pass an elderly couple who are trying to find their room so I help them. Also their tools were left laying around. This is only temporary but it did kind of catch me off guard for such a great looking, well kept facility."

"This is a lovely hotel just outside La Fortuna. A rushing river runs behind the property and the grounds are filled with interesting birds. The room was brand new and the breakfast was good. You pretty much need a car to get to town for dinner or anything else, but the tour companies will come to get you for the various adventures. The only restaurant nearby was Mary's BBQ and we had a bad meal and rude customer service there. Read the reviews before you have anything more than a drink there."

"I have a lovely stay at this hotel. The property grounds is magnificent. The birds and other wildlife that visit was a bonus! Very close to downtown walking distance to everything. The family own soda 5 ish minutes away is a must try! El salto rope is about 10 minutes away and there’s a road side popsicle, man, reminds me of every Caribbean country/island I’ve been too. 💕 The volcano was constantly covered by clouds which was disappointing as I wanted to see the peak of it from the view at the...

"This hotel looked amazing in the photos, which hardly did the spot justice. There was a garden in the center of the property with a pool and patio area and many exotic plants. Breakfast (three options) was served in a open air patio area. The staff put fruit out to encourage the birds to visit, providing a colorful, entertaining show. Our room was brand new, with a semi-private balcony. It was very quiet and felt safe and secure. There were both a two toed and a three toed sloth in residence in...
