Top Arenal Volcano Hotel Reviews

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Location & Property: The hotel is located between the town of La Fortuna and Arenal Volcano National Park. It is well connected and right next to the main road, making it easy to get around by car. The property is a large resort consisting of several buildings surrounded by gardens, which gives the whole place a welcoming and pleasant feel. Room: Our room was spacious and bright, located on the ground floor of one of the buildings. It looked new and very well maintained. It was clean, and the beds were large and comfortable. The bathroom was also clean and functional, with a shower and basic toiletries. Breakfast: Breakfast was served in a large restaurant and was excellent, with plenty of choices, both hot and cold. The quality of the food and drinks was probably the best we experienced during our entire trip around Costa Rica. Facilities & Surroundings: What really made me wish I could give this hotel six stars, though, were the thermal pools. There are around a dozen pools, with different temperatures ranging from hot to cool, so there is something for everyone. Our kid had a blast going down the water slides, while my husband enjoyed a piña colada at the bar inside one of the pools. And the views were amazing: from the pools, we could see Arenal Volcano, including its crater and fumaroles. Overall: In short, this is an extraordinary place to stay. It feels much more like an experience in itself than simply a hotel stay."

"Second time staying here, first time with our 18 month old son. The thermal rooms were perfect for relaxing while he was napping or after he fell asleep and he had a lot of fun in the kid pool."

Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center

10/10 Excellent

"⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing Stay in La Fortuna! We had an amazing stay at Magic Mountain Hotel! The location is beautiful, with an incredible view of the Arenal Volcano. The hotel has nice pools and hot tubs, which were perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring La Fortuna. Breakfast was included and was one of our favorite parts! It’s a buffet with plenty of options, including delicious traditional Costa Rican food, fresh fruit, and made-to-order omelets prepared right in front of you. We also really enjoyed Happy Hour! The drinks were delicious, reasonably priced, and the 2-for-1 special was definitely a plus! 🍹😄 Our room was very clean and comfortable, the bathroom was spotless, and the room service was great. The staff provided excellent service throughout our stay and made us feel very welcome. We had such a great experience and would definitely stay here again. Highly recommended if you’re visiting La Fortuna! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐"
