I loved this place! Great hospitality. Loved all the nature closeby. I also loved the cozy/family vibe with the kitchen/food they would make. Every meal was delicious! Especially the set-menu dinners. The yoga was great and so were the on-site services.

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...

The entire property was beautiful and if you like to walk/hike, there were great trails. The observation deck was good for bird watching and the restaurant had wonderful views. The breakfast (included) was good, as was the dinner (not included in the price). The room was comfortable, but there was no airconditioning. Thankfully, there was a fan. We also liked our deck that looked out at the lake.

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

We had a chalet with an expansive view, unique in that it was above tree canopy and offered different perspective with views of volcano and lake, gorgeous sunrises, constant weather pattern changes and great bird watching. Hotel is remote with its own shorter hikes, a nice restaurant and very helpful staff. Weather was a little cooler when I was there, but there is a nice pool (a little cool) and a jacuzzi. Room was spacious and very comfortable.

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a restaurant and views of the mountain, Lumbres Arenal is located in Fortuna and provides accommodations with free WiFi.

There was a nice cooking area with coffee pot and microwave and grill at the pool area. We loved the large refrigerator, the remoteness of the area and quietness. Lots of birds around. The view of Arenal volcano was wonderful from our room. Very peaceful here.

Located in Fortuna, Arenal Rústic Lodge provides free WiFi, and guests can enjoy a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. Some units include a balcony and/or a patio with mountain or garden views.

Loved the treehouse! Waking up to the sounds of the birds in the morning, watching leafcutting ants on their journey up and down the trees at night. The shower with only mesh separating you from nature was a nice surprise :-) An easy Uber from town. Bring binoculars!

    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.
