What I liked was the view of the Volcano the Flora, Fauna and all the birds that visit the property. The food is very good and the rooms very clean. The parking area is very cramped and small.

Amazing experience at Lavas Tacotal. Karen was super helpful and attentive. She was available to help us with everything we needed during our 3 night stay. The included breakfast is delicious. the views of Arenal Volcano are unbeatable, especially from the second pool. It is peaceful being outside of town and it is easy to get an Uber into town. Overall, we recommend Lavas to anyone.

GREAT PLACE and has a fantastic view of the volcano. I would ask for one of their stand-alone cabins rather than the strip of rooms we got. But it was 4/5 stars for $120 a night.
