I had a great stay here for 2 nights in Feb 2025. The room was spacious and close to wildlife. The breakfast was the highlight. Delicious french toast! The birds that come to feed in the morning were brilliant! The staff put out bananas for them to feed on ensuring they return each day!

If you love nature, you'll love this hotel
We loved our stay at this hotel. It had everything we needed as well as being great value for money.
The staff were polite and friendly and showed us around the facilities on arrival. It's not 5* accommodation but it more than makes up for it with the wildlife and views. Our room was spacious with 2 double beds, kitchenette and fridge.
You can pay for breakfast with a decent choice each morning.
Slightly out of the main La Fortuna area, but only a short stroll to restaurants. The main attraction for us was the location and wildlife.
Mount Arenal is the backdrop where you can view it over breakfast, alongside all the wildlife that visit. We saw toucans, hummingbirds, red squirrels and woodpeckers and countless other exotic birds I can't name.
There is a relax/pool area too.
We booked a number of tours through the hotel and they were cheaper than booking through the providers website.
I would highly recommend doing Armandos sloth tour, and he was also on hand just after sunset to take you through the gardens and point out the frogs and lizards which we'd never have found.
All in all we loved our here.

There is bird watching every morning at the breakfast area which is amazing. We saw variety of birds. The hotel room is very basic, the shower was not great.

Our first impressions of Xilopalo were not great, the entrance is up a dirt road and the hotel lobby is dark. However after a couple of days we appreciated the comfortable rooms, the bird entertainment at breakfast, the ease of booking tours, the location close to town and the sloth tour led by Arturo which was one of the best tours we did in CR. For the price Xilopalo can't be beat!

Arenal Xilopalo was well situated in area providing quiet evenings and beautiful breakfast views of the bird’s local to the area. Rooms were spacious but outdated. If looking for luxury this is not the place. It is affordable, roomy, and meets needs for a group traveling. Loved the rates to book excursions through hotel also. Did many things and staff were amazing. Night tour by guide on property was worth the pictures we will have for a lifetime. Much gratitude for this place.

Bedbug! I informed the hotel directly after having the bites... to date no response. Cleanliness clearly leaves something to be desired. Pool under renovation. We had booked given the good ratings, we do not understand how this hotel can be so well rated. Just a word: RUN AWAY
