This property is a beautiful oasis, off the beaten path. The property is gated for security. The grounds are breathtaking. The room was large, comfortable and well maintained. The staff at check in was efficient and friendly. You get free breakfast with your room. It’s a generous meal with coffee, juice, fresh fruit, pastries along with your choice of a full delicious entree. The dining room is beautiful and inviting , with views of Arenal Volcano. But the highlight of Casa del Rio has to be the staff at the restaurant. They were kind and warm and most of all patient! I cannot recommend this hotel enough.
