It's nice to have a room surrounded by nature, and breakfast was good with variety of choices and lots of birds around, felt very relaxing. Our reservation covered 2 breakfast, so we just had to pay $9 for the extra person (we are a family of 3). The only thing I would complain was the walls are thin, so if you have a noisy neighbor, you can hear everything. But this was not the hotel's fault. This was our first 2 nights in Costa Rica, so we didn't realize that you are not supposed to throw tissues in the toilet, so it clogged up badly just before we checked out which we felt so bad, we told the front desk, and he was nice about it and said he will inform the service. I would definitely recommend this place to other travelers!

We loved that the property was in a quiet area with amazing views of Arenal volcano. The grounds are lovely and there is a rainforest with a trail adjacent to the property. We saw hummingbirds, toucans, guans, and oropendula each morning. The staff was friendly and housekeeping kept our porch tidy and rooms clean. Overall, a great experience.

We strongly recommend Brisas Arenal for families. The property is absolutely beautiful. We did not have time to walk the grounds, but it was impeccably maintained with lots of flowers. We also saw a sign for a trail connected to the property (?), but did not have time to ask for further details/check it out. The breakfast area is surrounded by beautiful gardening and visited by various birds (they do not encroach into the breakfast space and are very nice to look at). The room was very practical with comfortable beds. We found the non-graveled ground to be a bit squishy and muddy after rain (made it slightly inconvenient to bring in luggage/walk to our car), but this seems to be par for the course in the area. There is a restaurant on-site open for dinner, but we did not eat there. Breakfast was a good value at $9.

Amazing Landscaping

There were a few hiccups with water leaking from the refrigerator and the AC tripping; however, the staff was responsive and fixed all issues. The grounds were amazing! The owner has put his heart and artistry throughout and made the area stunning!!

We LOVED our time at Brisas. The grounds are stunning--just sitting and taking it all in is an excellent passtime on its own! The accommodations are very thoughtful, 'rustic comfort' (best A/C we had in CR, ironically, given we also stayed at resorts twive the price and half as lovely!), And the staff are wonderful. Exceptional breakfast (all delicious but the French toast is incredible), and the owner was so thoughtful, taking time to chat every day at breakfast. And to top it all off are the adorable property 'mascotys--several dogs (Molly and Roxy were our faves--Molly would even wait for us outside our door in the morning!)--not to mention Matilde the tame wild parrot! Can't recommend this beautiful, family run property it highly enough.
