Our take
I would choose Arenal Xilopalo as a base rather than a destination in itself. Family rooms with air-conditioning and garden views, a year-round outdoor pool, a restaurant and a bar cover the evenings, while La Fortuna Waterfall and Kalambu Hot Springs are close and the tour desk helps with plans. Free parking suits those arriving by car. Guests seeking a resort with extensive leisure facilities should look elsewhere, but for the price of comfort and location it is sensible.
- ✓Make use of the tour desk to arrange excursions to the waterfall and hot springs, saving you time and effort.
- ✓Enjoy a meal at the hotel's restaurant; it offers a convenient and family-friendly dining option after a day out.
- ✓Take advantage of the free on-site parking if you're renting a car, as it simplifies getting around the area.
