El Achiote Vacation Packages

Our stay at Poas Volcano Lodge was absolutely magical! If you are looking for peace, harmony, and a true connection with nature, this is the perfect place. The architectural and design choices are incredibly stylish and tasteful, yet the lodge feels completely cozy and like a home away from home. The interior design strikes a perfect balance between eco-friendly aesthetics and European comfort. Our room was comfortable with a breathtaking view. The heated blankets were an absolute lifesaver and a brilliant touch for the chilly mountain nights! The breakfasts were delicious, and the common areas had such a warm, inviting atmosphere in the evening. I highly recommend this lodge to anyone who cherishes tranquility, comfort, and quiet beauty. A perfect 10/10!

Best hotel stay ever..

This place is a hidden gem. The food is excellent, the spa services were outstanding and the staff treat you with such kindness you feel you are at home. Having a hot tub on our patio was a plus and the shower is luxurious while feeling like you are outside. Highly recommend if you are looking for a tranquil and eco friendly place to stay.

Beautiful view of Arenal and many activities in site at Club Rio. Beautiful mineral pools located all throughout the property with beautiful vegetation and views.

Amazing stay

Perfect week

Would highly recommend this hotel! Friendly, helpful staff. The pools were wonderful and we enjoyed the waterslide! Great breakfast available and very good food in both restaurants.

The property is very run down and is set to close in August for a full renovation and it shows. If you are looking for a place to stay full time for a week this likely isn’t the place for you however if you are looking for a place that you are just stopping through along your journey it will likely work for you. The restaurant situation is not ideal. You have to line up before 5 pm if you want to get a spot at the speciality restaurants. If you are okay with buffet style they have lots to offer and the food is decent. If you are debating between booking the Palace vs. The regular Riu I would suggest skipping the palace and going to the other side that has been recently renovated and more modern with more lively entertainment. The views from the beach and Monkeys to the left are outstanding to see.
