Costa Rica Hotels with Swimming Pools

"We were only at the hotel for two nights but the shuttle, room, and pools were just what we needed!"

"Volcano Lodge is a beautiful property! My family enjoyed our stay so much. The staff is friendly, everything is clean and well maintained, and the restaurant is great especially the included breakfast buffet. I enjoyed walking the trail that goes around the perimeter of the property and saw several animals and many interesting plants right there on the property. The regular swimming pool is nice. The thermal pools are so fun and relaxing. The water is really warm. The best part is that they stay open very late so if you spend all day exploring La Fortuna you still have plenty of time to enjoy the thermal pools. We had a thermal superior room which had plenty of room for our family of 4 (2 adults, 2 teens) and the absolute BEST part was the private thermal pool. I wish we had more than 2 nights here and I hope to come back again someday."

"Older property but still nice. Rough drive getting up the hill to it."

"Breakfast was very good. The staff were friendly but we found service to be slow (everywhere not just Diria). The pools were very nice and beach is great. The resort is in a great location. The rooms were unimpressive and the whole place is showing it's age a little but we would recommend this place. Very safe and easy to book excursions etc. "

"Excellent location within walking distance to grocery store, café and other eateries. "

"I stayed at this hotel many times in the the past landing in Liberia Airport and it has been a decent stay. My most recent stay I booked a standard king room but when I arrived they said that they no longer have the room I booked and offered a renovated double room on the top floor which I took. I arrived at 3pm and there was a line to check in and the process seemed to take extremely long despite having all three check-in desks operating. The renovated room was definitely much nicer than their aging rooms, but the water pressure was very weak and the water was neither hot or cold. There are a few good restaurants and cafés within a 5 minute walk which were a plus."

"The property is beautiful!! Check in was a challenge as they wanted us to use the Riu App which did not work for us. Finally we received physical key cards. Our room was also lovely. Housekeeping was a bit hit and miss when it came to re-stocking towels. Sometimes we were only given two bath towels and we went without hand towels or facecloths. However in using the Riu app we were able to notify housekeeping and the next day the towel situation was resolved. The mini bar service is only restocked every other day. On day 3 of our stay, I saw the tiny notification in the bathroom that the water is non-potable. Yikes!! Given that the bathroom water is non-potable, we had to request additional water daily through the Riu App. The only restaurant on the property that takes reservations is the Steak House. We were able to reserve for 2 nights. The first night our reservation was at 7 pm. The servers were excellent but were definitely geared to get us in/out as quickly as possible. We asked for the menus but instead were directed to a qr code. The meal was rushed although we did our best to try and relax. However after dessert at about 8:15 we had a very stressed ‘hostess’ come to our table and ask if we’d had dessert. We said yes it was delicious. She said why are you still here? I said do you want us to leave? She said Yes!! So we did!!"
