Facility was beautiful. Well maintained. All employees were very friendly and helpful. They went out of their way to help and were extremely honest!! My wife overindulged one evening and was helped back to our room by two very sweet female employees. My wife had tipped them $50.00 for helping her. The young ladies insisted on returning the money even though they were under no obligation to do so.

Wow... where to begin. My boyfriend and I went there to celebrate my birthday and our anniversary and The Royal Corin went above and beyond to make our experience incredible. I would put this resort in my top 3 best hotels for the staff and service alone. The staff had a "yes" attitude and made us feel very welcome and taken care of (they were honestly amazing from the doorman, reception, to the cleaners). The towel designs on the bed, the little notes, balloons, strawberries and chocolate, etc, were the little things that made me feel very special on my birthday! On an allergy note, the restaurants were willing to adapt the meals as I am gluten free. The breakfast buffet is not celiac safe but the chef will make you a separate breakfast (whatever you want). Shout out to Jonathan who was an amazing server at breakfast (he went out of his way to find me some GF cereal to eat so I wasn't left out). It's amazing that this resort doesn't have day pass guests and is also adult only. The main pool is a lovely hot temperature and the pool bar is super cool! They even let you order food from any restaurant, straight to the pool. The Junior Suite was spacious and had a nice view of the volcano.

We suggested they maybe have some more local cuisine food options at the restaurants (the meals are very Westernised). Also, the hot springs seemed to have a lot of issues while we were there, with jacuzzi's not warming up to the proper temperature and some being closed. The steam room also wasn't very steamy. Unfortunately what the photos don't show you is that there is a main road outside of the window of the Suite... so to sit outside and enjoy the amazing view of the volcano also means to listen to the horrible traffic.

Hot spring pools were very enjoyable in the rain. The beds and pillows were very comfortable and soft. The room was pretty spacious. We tried both restaurants and preferred the one on the 5th floor as we liked the fish offer there and the ambiance. The pool bar and cocktails weee great, especially the margarita with salt and chilli peppers. The receptionist remembered our names and called us by name everytime when we needed something, which was a nice touch. Entire staff was very polite and friendly. The hotel is close to Arenal attractions

Nothing, I would go back and stay there again

Staff are very attentive, helpful and friendly. Room was big, very nice, and clean. View of volcano is amazing from 4th floor room. 8 minute taxi ride to town center from hotel ($10 USD). Can walk to Baldi hot spring from hotel if that is on your list of things to do. Most excursions will pick you up from hotel. Nice breakfast buffet that is included. Private taxi that was booked to get to and from SJO airport was super easy (2.75 hour scenic ride with ability to stop for bathroom/food breaks)

Food at Lava Lounge restaurant was just okay. It was not bad, but it was nothing special. However, the view and ambience was amazing, just the food was okay. This hotel greatly exceeded my expectations though otherwise and I would highly recommend it to anyone traveling Fortuna/Arenal - our 6 night stay was amazing.

I’ve never written a review for a hotel or resort before, but my stay at Royal Corin in La Fortuna was so exceptional that I had to share. From the moment I arrived, the warmth and genuine hospitality of the staff made me feel truly valued. They welcomed us with some clean damp towels and their welcome drink. The resort itself is a tranquil haven, set against the stunning backdrop of the Arenal Volcano. The accommodations are luxurious and serene, and the natural hot springs offer perfect relaxation. The food was another highlight—each meal was a delight, thanks to the fresh, local ingredients and inventive dishes. The restaurant staff were attentive and friendly, enhancing the overall dining experience. Every aspect of my stay was marked by exceptional service and a relaxing vibe. Royal Corin Resort is truly a gem, and I highly recommend it for anyone seeking a memorable and rejuvenating getaway.

The staff is OVER the top. If you appreciated being greeted continuously, help with excursion ideas, and a high level of service - The Royal Corin is for you. You know what else is fantastic? It's adults only!! You NEVER have to worry about screaming or misbehaved kids. The hotel breakfast is plentiful with something for everyone - including gluten free. And, the breakfast varies a bit from day to day so you'll have some of the same standby items (breads, drinks, quick breads, etc) along with varying hot items. The hot springs pools are awesome - they range in temperature. Some of them are REALLY hot LOL. The bathroom amenities are great - shampoo, conditioner, lotion, and body lotion. The bed is super comfy as are the pillows. Plenty of outlets to charge your stuff and the wifi is great. There is a small fridge in the room and they provide two water bottles a day. We needed an iron/ironing board and it arrived in the room within minutes after I called the front desk. Fabian (front desk employee) recommended the Arenal 1968 hike - this is a MUST do. The views of the volcano and lake are fantastic. The hotel is only a couple of miles from the town of Fortuna, lots of great places to eat there, coffee shops and walking around. Never been to Costa Rica? Take a rain jacket, some light weight hiking boots or sturdy sided sneakers (ie, don't wear shoes such as Adidas ultra boosts), an extra bag to bring home coffee, and patience driving. Something may look only a few km away on a map (use Waze), but the roads are windy, slow and have lots of cars. Go eat at a local Soda (aka cafe) and eat some comida typica (local food). Have patacones. Don't miss out.

Our room was closer to the road so it was a bit noisier but we weren't in the room a whole bunch. The food in the restaurant is a bit pricey, but that's to be expected of any hotel food. I also didn't like how the volcano hides behind the clouds but that's pretty typical!!

It’s a very lovely hotel, and a very pretty property overall. Lovely views, beautiful room, three nice restaurants, absolutely divine hot springs pool complex! It’s very tranquil and serene feeling. The staff are very polite and helpful and speak good English. The spa is very nice.

The only downside is it’s not really easily walkable to anything else, so if you don’t have a rental car, you’re going to need to take cabs to get anywhere. (Which is do-able.) And oddly, there is no gift shop or bodega on the premises, like most resort hotels have, so if you want extra snacks or drinks, again it’s a ten minute cab ride in to town. That’s the one thing the hotel really needs.

everything was excellent. we had a nice dinner on premises one night. the staff are very friendly helpful and accomodating. the thermal pools are relaxing. the one cold pool is nice too but its not that cold like all pools here because of the warm climate.

the room we got had AC issues every night. the digital thermostat kept turning off and making the room impossible to get a good nights rest. the hotel engineer plus some staff tried a couple of times to rectify the problem to no avail. finally i had enough and on the last night the manager put us in the master suite. it was awesome. got a good nights sleep the last night. she also gave us complimentary spa treatments which were fantastic. so the resort made up for the inconveniences. thank you

Great location in front of Arenal volcano. Lovely, attentative staff. Room was clean and comfortable. Very nice pool area. Breakfast and dinner in both restaurants were amazing.

Our room was a bit noisy, there was a constant murmur-like sound even at night. We couldn't distinguish the source, it might have been the ventillation, altough we turned the AC off. The proximity to the main rood means you will be hearing all the loud motorcycles people use here even in the morning, which can be bothering, but most of the similar accomodations and hotels in the area would be like that.

The Royal Corin and their staff exceeded my expectations. The hotel itself was absolutely beautiful, the room well appointed, comfortable, and modern. The staff greeted us right away and I've never had a check out process like this one; they gave us a welcome drink, cold refreshing towel, and had us sit in the lounge while they took our information and checked us in. The staff were so friendly and professional, and went ABOVE AND BEYOND to make our stay extraordinary. The front desk staff gave us great tips of where to go, excursion information, and were extremely accommodating. The grounds of the hotel were gorgeous, on the smaller side but intimate and perfect for couples. The pool area and swim up bar was my favorite with plenty of lounge chairs available. Also, shout out to Isreal, the bartender and waiter who made my husband and I awesome drinks, and was super friendly and personable. He made our experience at the Royal Corin that much better. The room itself was awesome, especially the large bathroom and walk in shower, also extremely clean! We also appreciated they provided a bottle of water for each of us daily. I have nothing but positive things to say about this hotel. The breakfast had a good variety and was fresh and tasty. The restaurant on site on the main floor was delicious as well. I would 10/10 recommend this hotel to anyone staying in La Fortuna who wants some rest and relaxation after a busy day exploring Costa Rica!

everything was amazing
