What our guests says about facilities

The hotel offers amenities for your comfortable stay and unforgettable experiences

Delicious Dining Experience

The food was all very good with a great selection, and I enjoyed the buffet-style breakfast that included fruits, eggs, and a made-to-order omelet station. It was the perfect way to start our busy days of exploring! The restaurant had a lovely ambiance with doors open to let a breeze in while we dined.

Our room was spacious, clean, and comfortable, featuring two double beds and a nice-sized bathroom. The highlight was the stunning view of the Arenal Volcano from our balcony. It truly set the mood for our stay!

Beautiful Pools and Spa

The resort's pools were beautifully maintained, with a swim-up bar that added a nice touch. I particularly enjoyed lounging in the hot tubs after a long day of activities. It was the perfect way to unwind!

We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Magic Mountain, mainly enjoying the spectacular views of Arenal Volcano and lush surroundings. The room was spacious and came with a giant Jacuzzi tub, making it feel extra luxurious at a reasonable price. Although the breakfast options were somewhat limited and the pools could be cooler, the overall experience was delightful, and I would definitely consider staying here again if given the chance.

The hotel boasts stunning views of Arenal Volcano from most rooms and its location offers easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, some facilities are in need of repair. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff clearly overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience a bit. It's a good budget option if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than in the hotel itself.

My stay was overall pleasant, highlighted by stunning views of the volcano from my room. The rooms are clean and modern, adding to the overall comfort. However, access to breakfast could be more convenient since you have to call to book a slot, and the loud music at the bar made it hard to chat with friends. The entire atmosphere felt inviting, making it a nice choice for a relaxing getaway.
