A BEST choice

Prós: the staff was very helpful the rooms were clean And the atmosphere is delightful The other travelers were friendly I very much enjoyed my stay in Arenal Hostel Resort I have already recommended it to others! Happy new year

Contras: the construction started too early and woke me up! The artificial smell of the cleaning solutions used are hormone disrupters and it would be a good idea to use "green" cleaners to protect the staff as well as the clients
