Cantón San Carlos Family friendly Hotels

"Everything was amazing. Except for the food at the restaurants."

"Everything was great and the breakfast was so good"

"Beautiful resort!!!!Beautiful large room, super clean, and the breakfast was great. Everyone at the hotel was wonderful and the resort itself was absolutely fabulous. The only downside was the restaurant dinner — the food was disappointing and quite expensive for the quality. Other than that, everything was perfect and we had a great stay."

"We were so impressed by the property. The room was very private with a hot tub and large back deck. The restaurant on the premises served 3 meals per day and had great food that offered local cuisine as well as something for everyone. We would definitely come back or visit their sister property on the Oso Peninsula. Loved it!"

"It was a lovely place that was quiet and peaceful. We enjoyed the hot tubs and the wet bar. They have a restaurant with live music in the evenings. We loved their buffet style breakfast especially because it slightly changed daily. You’re not stuck eating the same thing everyday. The staff was great, we felt welcomed and they answered all of our questions."

"This location is perfect "

"Our La Fortuna stay included four hotels the springs, nayara, mi amor, and tabacon. Tabacon Resort/room is roughly 4 star. Staff is polite from check in to breakfast, 5 star. The thermal springs are 5 star and phenomenal, best/largest on our trip by far. The access to shangri-la area in the springs, when staying at the hotel, makes it worth it. Also hotel guests are allowed in the hot springs before general public at 8am. Im sure it is a huge bonus during peak season. The food and drinks at the hot springs bar were good. Priced higher than they should be...+tax/service fee/tip...but fresh, well made and suit the atmosphere. Several vegetarian options at shangri-la, all were good. We added breakfast to our stay, there was an extra charge for that through expedia. It was not bad and included an egg station as well as coffee to order, oatmilk. Wish they had a potato morning option instead of plantains both days, local so it makes sense. Shuttle to the hot springs comes to hotel lobby/reception every 5 minutes and very convenient. From our trip there are only two resorts I will certainly revisit, this will be one of them. A must for hot springs, I'm glad we didn't skip it."

"Arenal observatory and lodge is a biodiversity and conservation gem! We saw so many animals and plants while on the property! The accommodations were great and in line with ecotourism. Highly recommend for nature lovers!"

"Excellent and helpful staff. Good quality hot water springs "
