Amor Loco is a restaurant in Arenal Volcano National Park with an intentionally romantic decor inspired by Morocco and India.

Restaurant context
Amor Loco occupies the most explicitly romantic position among Arenal Volcano National Park's resort restaurants, prioritizing mood and music over the open-air volcano views that define Ayla Restaurant and La Terraza Del Arenal. If sightlines matter more than décor, those two offer better visibility of Arenal's cone, especially at sunset. Ayla leans lighter and more casual, while La Terraza sits closer to Amor Loco's formality without the nightly entertainment.
Cielito Lindo Pool Bar delivers creative cooking in a daytime-friendly poolside format, making it the inverse of Amor Loco's evening-focused model, choose it for lunch or afternoon drinks rather than a post-dinner experience. Nayara Springs offers Costa Rican-focused menus in a separate dining venue within the same resort, providing a lighter, more regional alternative for guests who want to stay on property but skip the Moroccan-Indian theatricality.
For special occasions, Amor Loco's tailored dinner service and live music make it the most celebration-ready option in the area, though booking ahead is essential for customized setups. If you need easier walk-in availability or prefer a less enclosed environment, La Terraza Del Arenal and Ayla both offer more flexible seating without requiring resort access.
