Hotel Secreto La Fortuna
10/10 Excellent
"Great place, friendly staff. "
Arenal Paraíso Resort & Thermo Mineral Hot Springs
10/10 Excellent
"Spacious room, great views, excellent breakfast "
Lost Iguana Resort and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Gorgeous view from our balcony. Rooms were clean & spacious. The family suite accommodated our family of 5 with two bathrooms & two bedrooms
"
Hotel Arenal Lodge
10/10 Excellent
"This hotel in on a mountain 2 km uphill on a paved but old road, although I saw sedans I don’t know how they made it. We were glad we rented a 4x4 that’s what I recommend. Also try to get there before dark due to the steep uphill super curvy 2 km road.
Although hotel is old (probably oldest in the area) it’s very clean , rooms are big and comfortable. It’s on a beautiful mountain with great views . The horse riding on site is a most! Decent breakfast, friendly staff. Definitely recommend if you’re into rustic stays and nature. "
Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience
10/10 Excellent
"The hot springs were nice. However the room could be improved. The safe was not working.
The backyard door could not be closed. It only locked if you walk out.
Location and setting were amazing though. "
Hotel Lomas del Volcán
10/10 Excellent
"Great stay for family of four with two teenagers. Spacious rooms, great pool. Breakfast was great. They coordinated two tours for us - night walk and sloth tour - both eco friendly and wonderful! Highly recommend and look forward to returning!"
Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa
10/10 Excellent
"Hot springs were outstanding "
Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails
10/10 Excellent
"The location, it's absolutely breathtaking. Nothing compares. Sitting on the deck, watching the bird feeder and seeing all the different birds swooping in, the coatis running around.
The food is pretty good too but keep in mind, you'll end up having dinner here. Can't recommend driving at night if you want to eat dinner in La Fortuna.
The grounds are well-kept and the trails are good. You can easily walk the whole day. Don't forget to go to the Nest for a good view. "
Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort
10/10 Excellent
"Very nice pools and bars. Very nice overall property. Great location. I wish I could stay there longer."
