Thank you to Jenny, Jacob and Jackson. We booked a tour and a shuttle with Jenny, best price we found in town. Jacob and Jackson delivered our tour, we picked the most complete tour offered in the area. We did Waterfalls, Volcano hike, Hot-springs and Hanging bridges.

Jenny came through minute and saved our trip and planned a bunch of day trips within seconds. She went out of her way to accommodate our last minute timing. Absolutely amazing and I recommend her services to anyone. Through her, we booked waterfall rappelling, transportation around costa rica, and even found us some food in the local shops to ensure we made it to our activities on time.

Friendly staff and good atmosphere. Hostel is good but be carefully with tour bookings in front of hostel and compare with other companies. We were Overcharged 40% for guided hanging bridge tour. We compared with other people in same bus!!

The worst hostel I have ever stayed in. I was in a 4 bed dorm and it was small, old and dirty. The mattress had mould on it, the bathroom was thick with mould and old dirt, the walls were dirty. One tiny fan for the whole room which did nothing and the top bunk was unbearable I had to sleep on the floor - the room got so hot I couldn’t charge my phone as the phone said too hot. Outside the room was cooler, nice pool area but loud music so means you can’t sleep. I stayed in better hostels over a decade ago - this place needs updating and a deep clean. Also didn’t feel safe as anyone can walk in.

We didn't stay in this hotel; however, we did book our excursions with Jenny in the travel department. She was INCREDIBLE! After our own hotel totally botched our plans for our stay in Arenal, Jenny swooped in and booked several excursions for us within a few hours. Jenny is wonderful, caring, and very organized. She got our trip together and we had a wonderful time. Jenny personally called a tour company and arranged for additional transit time for us, as we'd be joining late. She even TOOK US SHOPPING around town on a whirlwind, last-minute errand to find us water shoes so we could go waterfall rappelling as the bus was on its way to pick us up! She took us around town to several stores so we could each find shoes the right size, and even found us a quick brunch so we could get some food along the way, then made sure she got us on our bus and off to our tour! Jenny is the best! Always use her services to book - she will find and book you amazing tours. Thanks so much, Jenny!

Arenal Poshpacker is the perfect location for staying in La Fortuna. There were a lot of activities on my to-do list, but I didn't have an idea how to best plan it. Upon arrival, Jenny immediately put my mind at ease and set up everything from zip-lining that very afternoon, to a full day of La Fortuna Waterfall & Arenal Volcano hiking, and so much more. On my last day, she even scheduled private transportation for me to get to San Jose airport with making fun stops at La Paz Waterfall & Poas Volcano en route! Jenny is a fantastic and genuine person, and strives to make sure you're having the best possible experience! 100% recommend staying at Arenal Poshpacker!!
