Family friendly Hotels in Peñas Blancas, Alajuela Province

"The food especially the fish was not so good. I guess a $50 tip for the guy that showed us around the property was not enough because he wouldn't even look at us after that. Other than that the place is great we loved it except the water slide was closed and so was the bar I guess low season."

"Room was clean but slightly outdated. We got a lot of use from the hot springs, that was the highlight of our stay. Staff were friendly and did a great job explaining the layout of the resort and answering questions upon arrival. Easy access to La fortuna downtown area by car as well "

"Cleanliness was my only complaint"

"the staff was extremely nice & helpful, resort was up kept well. no microwave or iron in the room."

"This was an awesome hotel, the breakfast every morning was sooo good. The food in the restaurant at dinner time was excellent, the pool and private jacuzzis were perfect, the drinks and food were so good as well. The lil sendero trail was an added bonus on the grounds. I definitely recommend this hotel/resort."

"The room was very clean but the bed was hard..did not have great sleep. And the reception staff seemed resistant speaking English "

"Be advised that the road to this amazing property is full of twists and turns which doesn't help anyone who is prone to motion sickness. Dramamine is a must! We arrived late at the property which there was a guard that pointed us to the way of the desk agent, who greeted us and helped us take our luggage to our suite. The room was cold, clean and had treats for us upon arrival as it was my birthday. Delicious chocolate ganache brownies! Dual shower heads with plenty of space to spare, bath robes, a private dining area, Jacuzzi tub and outside lounge area and well maintained to enjoy the sounds of the rainforest. The staff was very pleasant and gave us recommendations on what to on our next part of our journey which we are glad we followed through in Uvita with the Mangrove tour. Thank you Brian! The pools were clean and they have many different pools with different temps to soothe whatever sore muscles that you might have from your adventures. Breakfast was to die for, freshly played local fruits to start and a diverse menu, which we wanted to try more but the helping were so plentiful we couldn't finish it most of the time. Be sure to endulge in the little extra pastries at breakfast, you won't regret it! Room service was top notch as well. Although we were sad to go, we would recommend this to anyone looking for a relaxing stay, anyone who loves to enjoy the outdoors and natural sounds of the Rainforest will be sure to enjoy!"

"Hot springs cross the street, it’s not walkable, but shuttle convenient. ShangriLa pretty cool."

"Beautiful place, hotsprings were very nice and relaxing. Excellent view of the volcano. "
