Surrounded by 860 private acres of tropical rainforest and featuring an on-site lake, a swimming pool, a sun terrace and games room, Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails is located within the Arenal...

We stayed in Phils Villa which is stunning and extremely luxurious and comfortable. The location of the whole Arenal lodge is superb and we loved walking the trails by ourselves and with the lodge guide Christian, who was very informative. The restaurant food was not quite as good as we found elsewhere, although the service was friendly, but this was a very minor niggle.

Hotel Arenal Lodge is located in 2,000 acres of rainforest filled with exotic birds, wild animals and tropical vegetation. It offers unrivalled panoramic views of Arenal Volcano and Arenal Lake.

Fantastic place, loved the location and our chalet facing the volcano. The staff were very friendly and attentive, the common areas very nice, the restaurant a great option not to have to drive somewhere else. We even enjoyed family pool games having drinks and after dinner. All great, definitely a great place to stay, especially if you prefer to avoid the town area (still being 20-30 mins away).

With garden views, Arenal Xilopalo is set in Fortuna and has a restaurant, a shared lounge, bar, garden, year-round outdoor pool and terrace.

Perfect location on the edge of town and forest. Lovely helpful staff who can arrange all excursions and entry fees at reduced rate. Cash most cost effective. We had a family suite which was great for group of four friends. And could watch humming birds and toucans from the terrace. Breakfast was good value and tasty with views of the volcano - worth getting there early. Easy walk to centre of La Fortuna and lots of restaurants. We got around easily by Uber as didn’t have car. Highly recommended.

Offering an outdoor pool, Catarata Eco Lodge is a property located in Fortuna, Costa Rica that features stunning views of Arenal Volcano. Free Wi-Fi access is available.

I stayed for three nights with my Mother and we loved everything about this property. The staff were so friendly and helpful and the grounds are a calming oasis in which to relax and unwind. We woke up every morning to sound of the birds and we saw Toucans every day!

    The kind helpfulness of our hosts. The view and setting Thank you to the amazing family who run the lodgings! They were very kind and attentive! The location is excellent! Highly recommended: The butterfly conservatory which is literally just a few minutes walk up the street is awesome with several stunning walks, views, and stories of its own. The amazing views from all around the property and neighbourhood! Pura vida!

    Everything I ate here for breakfast, lunch and dinner was phenomenal. The staff were really friendly, helpful and accommodating. The surroundings are beautiful and there are a lot of fantastic additional activities you can do, for example i did a sunrise bird watching tour, had a massage and took part in a sweat lodge type ceremony. The bed was comfy and the shower was good which so I had a very enjoyable and restorative stay.

    The property was large with jungle and cleared areas. Various types of lodging. We chose a small one bedroom private cabana. It was clean comfortable and modern. The bed was very comfortable. Nice views of the Volcano lots of birds came in daily. Toucans, hummingbirds and other tropical birds. The trails through the jungle were nice.
