Front desk reception was very informative/helpful with options did things to do in area. The country inn property was pretty big, cottage like accommodations with much trees on the ground.
Location was pretty good too, 10 mins walk to the Main Street!
Highly recommend.

Nice grounds and a good breakfast. Good staff. Helpful.
Rainy during our visit.
Very clean room, staff was very friendly and helpful, breakfast was good. No hot water in bathroom sink made washing and shaving more difficult. Grounds were beautiful, pool very well kept.
My family had great stay at Arenal Country In. Enjoyed the pool and proximity of all the activities near by. We would love to come back again

Room small, bathroom smaller. Breakfast was good. Front desk staff helpful.
The property is clean and well maintained with a very large pool area. The location is just outside of town making it a bit more quiet.
Like much of CR, it sorely lacks comfortable seating. The room had a couple of steel ladder back chairs, even the pool settees are uncomfortable with nary a cushion in sight.
They offer a nice breakfast with the best hotel coffee in CR.
