Hotel Arenal Kioro

Hotel Arenal Kioro, on the slopes facing the volcano

Arenal Kioro is a family owned hotel on a hillside near the national park, about 11 km, a 10 minute drive, from downtown La Fortuna. Every suite faces the volcano, two rivers run through the grounds, and the hotel has its own hot springs a short drive away. It is one of our team's favourites at Arenal for couples, honeymooners and families.

Why we choose it

• A terrace on the volcano. Every suite has its own terrace looking straight at Arenal, with the national park's mountains around it.
• Its own hot springs. Titokú, the hotel's hot springs, is a series of pools of different temperatures, kept for guests by reservation.
• Family owned and personal. The owners run it themselves, and it shows in the attention to each guest.

Rooms and views

All the rooms are suites, and all face the volcano. The Couple Suites suit two, and the Family Suites take 4 adults plus 1 child under 11 years old. Each suite has air conditioning, a TV, Wi-Fi, a phone, a safe, a minibar, a coffee maker and a hair dryer, so you have what you need after a day out.

On the property

The grounds are crossed by the La Palma and Kioro rivers. There is a pool and a gym on site, a bar for the evening, and the restaurant looks out at the volcano.

The spa offers facials, massage and beauty treatments. Titokú, the hot springs, is 6 km from the hotel, so plan it like a short outing and reserve it ahead. Its name is said to mean water from the gods.

The hotel works to reduce its footprint with recycling, energy saving systems and a spring on site for its water.
