The property is beautiful. The warm springs were uncrowded and so relaxing. The farm is extensive and fun to walk around. And the property put fruit out to attract the birds which was amazing to see. Our included breakfast was freshly cooked (no buffet here!) with farm fresh eggs. The restaurant was reasonably priced and delicious for dinner. They provided towels and bathrobes to use at the hot springs.

It's beautiful! Wonderful food and people. We liked the waterfall repelling, spent half a day at the rope swing, major highlight of the trip, didn't spend a lot of time in town, loved the Fortuna waterfall, didn't prefer the free hot springs. We are a family with 3 teenage boys. We would have liked more time here to explore and visit another hot spring/spa.

Fortuna was lots of fun.
Fortuna was lots of fun. We went to hike at Mistico Arenal hanging bridges and visited the Don Olivo chocolate farm. They were both great outings! We also enjoyed local food and the pool at our hotel, Hotel Arenal Country Inn

The staff was friendly and helpful.
The staff was friendly and helpful. The property was close to the local tours and the busses picked us up for trips to the Arenal volcano and to North Fields Coffee. The view of the volcano from the main lodge area was a treat, and the food was delicious. We would go back again!

La Fortuna was absolutely superb. There was so much to do.
La Fortuna was absolutely superb. There was so much to do. We went for 5 nights, but we could have done double that.
We really enjoyed the hot springs, white water rafting, zip linging, mud baths, la fortuna waterfall, chocolate tasting. All were very good.
The night walk was a little overrated. We walked for 2 hours getting bitten alive not actually seeing too much. Was cool seeing some frogs but $45 each for the privelage seemed a bit steep.
The volcano 1968 tour was also a lot. There was 4 of us so we paid near $100 to only see the Volcano for a few moments at one of the two viewing points. If you're into hiking I would suggest this isn't for you.
Costa Ricans themselves were absolutely lovely. Very welcoming and perfect English on the whole (Yes i know i'm ignorant..).
However our biggest issue was the cost of everything. We naively expected it to be a lot cheaper than it was. OFten found ourselves spending over $200 for a meal for 4. Also there is a card charge for most places, so take cash if you can.
But overall was excellent. The views alone are worth it
We are very delighted with our vacation time in Arenal Rustic Lodge! This friendly family owned business is a great option for a little escape in the magical rainforest paradise. Owners provided us with a traditional Costa Rican breakfast which was super delicious. Our villa was located high above the ground and was super nice and clean! This hotel is a short driving distance from the centre of La Fortuna which is nearby the base of Arenal Volcano! Definitely would recommend and visit the place again!
The property is expansive and beautiful. A few walking trails that are well maintained. There are several pools, a pool slide, and even a zip line ride on premises. Two of the pools are geothermal but only warm not hot. One of them is the swim-up pool bar that serves drinks and food. The property is in a great location to stage your tours, and only a 2000 crc ($3 usd!) ride to downtown La Fortuna. All of the hotel staff are wonderful except one guy that I’ll talk about below.
We loved our stay at Arenal Country Inn and will definitely be back - it is so well located within 5 minutes of the special La Fortuna Waterfall and the restaurants of the main town, this family run hotel also serves an amazing breakfast ! We stayed as a couple but for the size of rooms /villa would be great for a family (1 large double and a single).
We accidentally left some important things in our room and the hotel were wonderful in arranging their quick and safe return !
This hotel is a gem within the incredible La Fortuna location! It is walking distance to the center town area (about a 15 minute walk) - we walked during the day and night and got around easily. The staff were super kind and thoughtful - they would go out of their way to make our days as great as possible! There is a great trail on the hotel property as well that leads to a peaceful river. The property itself is very well maintained and features beautiful flowers!
Hidden gem in la Fortuna! We got a room with a view of the volcano, it comes with balcony too so perfect for those early mornings where you sit outside with a cup of coffee. The place is spotless and we couldn’t find dust particles anywhere. The bed was super comfy and overall the room was decorated as if you are in a high-end hotel. It also came with FREE and absolutely delicious breakfast!!! The staff were so friendly and lovely. Overall highly recommend!!
Beautiful setting full of wildlife tucked away from the busier parts of the La Fortuna/Arenal area, while still close enough for area attractions to be accessible on foot or a short car ride/taxi away. (Highly recommend the North Fields coffee and chocolate tour next door.) Great little restaurant that surprised us with its good value relative to options on town. All hotel staff were lovely and beyond helpful. A hidden gem in this area, for sure!
What a fantastic little hotel. It was really nice, gorgeous pool, large room and nice bathroom. Wish we could have stayed longer. Was an easy walk into la fortuna and easy to get around to the sights. Could see the volcano from the hotel if it was covered with clouds. The restaurant next door for breakfast was lovely and catered really well for vegetarians and you get 10% off for other meals- if you remember to show your key.
The stay was amazing. The little house had everything that you needed. Tha staff was extraordinary. Our son was sick and we got a lot of help. So heartwarming and friendly!
The garden and pool area was very nice too.
The breakfast was super delicious.
The hotel is in perfect reach to all the activities next to the Arenal (f.e. the national park, 1968 park, Zipline, hanging bridges...) and not in the crowded city of La Fortuna.
A to Z top notch resort hotel. Room, cleanliness, grounds design, facilities and a willing hands on helpful manager. The Eco Arenal in Hawaii would be $300/day. The most attractive aspect is that the grounds to the back and side are so extensive and untouched that the trails represent a true Costa Rican nature walk. In my 2 day stay I observed over 3 dozen species. It is 4-5 km from the town of La Fortuna.
I had a great stay at Hotel Alicia. So much so that I returned on my second stay in La Fortuna. The room I had was very clean and included hot water, AC and even a TV. The staff are really friendly and helpful and the free breakfast is really appreciated. The hotel is just off the city centre in a quiet part of town. As a solo female traveler I felt safe returning home after dinner. Highly recomend!
The location on the edge of La Fortuna, by the forest, with a view of Arenal. All the friendly and helpful staff in Reception and in Acacia restaurant. The birdwatching opportunities from the restaurant. I highly recommend Armando the guide. He is nice, knowledgeable and he helped me take fantastic photos of sloths and frogs. As a solo female traveler, I felt very safe at the Hotel. I will return!
The surroundings are magical and the cabin very spacious, huge glass walls to observe the surroundings. Beautiful location on the edge of the rainforest on the foothills, 5 min driving from the waterfall and outside of the town of La Fortuna. Excellent for birding, even the hotel grounds had so many species. Pretty pool and observation deck. If budget allows take the lodge with a pool and deck ;)
The property that the hotel sits on is beautiful, with lots of flowers that attract hummingbirds as well as many other birds. The breakfast was okay (3 options to choose from) and location was great. It was about a 7 minute walk into the main area of La Fortuna. Air conditioning worked well. The hotel is next to the sloth sanctuary, so helps it feel like you’re in the rainforest.
Small friendly family run hotel just outside of La Fortuna. Nice rooms with 2 double/queen beds, common lounge areas with full kitchen for guests use. Adjacent restaurant with great breakfast (included) and wood fired pizzas. Gated secure parking area. Cute garden and pool area. Saw iguanas hanging about! Despite being right on the main road, rooms were well set back and quiet.
The location is perfect, right in the La Fortuna Center. The room was clean and comfortable as well as the whole hotel. Above all, the staff was great. My friend and I received the same room though we asked for it last minute. They also gave us many usefull tips, so we could enjoy two days in La Fortuna to its fullest.
We can't imagine staying with nicer people! The spot is a few minutes drive from everything in and around La Fortuna. It was our only experience outside a traditional hotel in Costa Rica and we did not regret going for an apartment for a few days. Thanks again for having us!
fantastic view. surrounded by wildlife and put to sleep by the frogs at night. good walking paths. good food at reasonable price. friendly staff. rustic isolated hotel but close to main road and La Fortuna
loved the pool! staff are accommodating and kind and the hotel is very close to the fortuna waterfall. great view from the pool. hotel bar is great. rooms are clean and AC works very well.
slightly out of La Fortuna makes this hotel perfect place to stay and relax away from crowds of the city. In the middle of the jungle with beautiful gardens and pools.
