Quiet, beautiful family owned property. The breakfast is amazing and surrounded by toucans and parrots along with hummingbirds and other wildlife. Clean rooms with warm showers. Very close to many great food options if you don’t want to eat at the hotel. The family is very kind.

We had an amazing stay at Brisas. We’d booked a family room which was large and well appointed. The grounds on which the property is, are excellent with numerous birds. We saw Toucans multiple times. They’ve also got an onsite hiking trail. I would recommend staying here.

This was my favorite place we stayed while in Costa Rica. Quaint cottage on beautiful grounds. Very quiet and peaceful, woke up to bird call. A short hiking trail on the premises. $10 to buy breakfast which we did not pay for but there was a nice breakfast area so I’m sure it would have been nice. There was a small coffee maker and fridge in the room so we made our own coffee and enjoyed it sitting outside on the porch. Highly recommend!

Our family loved our stay at Brisas Arenal Hotel. It is convenient to town, yet set far enough away to provide a peaceful getaway. The grounds are beautiful and peaceful with the walking trail on the property being a great addition. Our room was clean and large. We ate twice at the Soda Tita Rosa down the street for dinner and really enjoyed the family that ran it and the closeness to Brisas. We were incredibly happy with our choice to stay at Brisas and highly recommend it.

Love and care from the owner of the property shows. We particularly like the fact that the property is 5 min drive away from busy downtown. Tucked away in nature. Enjoy beautiful sounds of wildlife, garden, and some bird watching. Breakfast and dinner options offered are delicious with local ingredients.

Great place!

We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano right from our porch. Very quiet place with lots of birds. The gardens were beautiful on the property. We had a car so it was a short 5 min drive to La Fortuna.

I’d avoid with families

It was a funny stay at brisas. There’s no denying that the setting is amazing. You really do feel immersed in nature and it’s very peaceful. I found the staff pretty hostile and not very welcoming, especially the receptionist. It feels a bit more like a self catering lodge than a hotel. The room was dated, like it hasn’t been touched since the 70s but it was still clean and comfortable. With the air con it was either cold or very cold, difficult to get a happy medium. We had a blocked drain in the toilet one afternoon, through no fault of our own. And when we told the receptionist he just said ok I’ll send someone to sort it. No one came to sort it until the cleaners came the next day and all they did was clean the dirty pan. The toilet was never actually unblocked. Maybe this is a normal occurrence. Having to order breakfast at reception the night before was annoying. I’d understand if it was some lavish breakfast, but it was literally just rice eggs and toast. Not sure why this needs ordering in adavance. We forgot to order it one night so ended up skipping breakfast the next day through fear of upsetting staff by just turning up. Be aware there is no pool, a photo on hotels.com looks like a pool although after re reading I didn’t see anything saying there was a pool so this is as my error, but there def isn’t one. Also be away if you book as a family or more than two people, weirdly you only get 2 breakfasts included in the room rate. We were a family of 5, @ $9 each
