Arenal Volcanic Villas

La Fortuna

"Omg 10/10. I had a blast staying here. The hot tub came in handy after going hiking. I went during the wet season so the volcano was covered by clouds but I’m sure during the dry seasoning the view is beautiful. Everything was well-kept. The villa itself was nice and elevated inside. Would stay here again. The villa is very nice but it’s also fairly new so there’s a dirt road that leads to it, so when you uber or are using a shuttle make sure to advise them to come to the end of the dirt road....

"We had a fantastic time! Orlando (the owner), his family, and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming! We really enjoyed the thermal longevity circuit, plus we went tubing down the river which was a blast too! On day 2 we did the cultural coffee, chocolate, tortilla demonstration and we also went on a short hike through the trail where Orlando helped us spot a sloth! We had the pizza at the resort the first night, so then we wanted to try out some authentic Costa Rican and he was able to...

Top Northern Plains Hotel Reviews

Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort

10/10 Excellent

"Excellent hotel!"

Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

8/10 Good

"Absolutely loved our stay here. A once in a lifetime place to visit. My kids were amazed as it literally looks like you are driving into Jurassic park. Our room was beautiful with a full open view of the volcano and just gle. We woke up to monkeys in the trees, saw probably 100 species of different rainforest moths. Clean and comfortable room. My only issue was that we had several venomous wandering spiders in our hotel room which was quite scary with 2 young children with us. I understand the lodge is very deep in the jungle, but perhaps the lodge could inspect the cabins for good sealing. There are many venomous snakes near the walkways as well. Incredible experience, I would hesitate to go with young children due to the amount of venomous critters. But with older kids and adults it's a once in a lifetime experience."

Hotel Mountain Paradise

8/10 Good

"Pros: the grounds are really lovely and the pool area is really nice. The male staff were all very cheerful and pleasant whereas the female staff were almost all somewhat scowling and unfriendly. I can’t figure out what that’s about but we all noticed the same. Cons: the food offered at the restaurant is mediocre, limited, and overpriced for what it is, even considering how all food in La Fortuna and in Costa Rica in general is surprisingly expensive. The dinning area while not unattractive, is not particularly attractive. The rooms, while large, leave much to be desired as well with no hooks etc to hang wet towels, a minuscule closet and no other options to store or organize clothes and other things. A bit of of common sense and better management could improve all of the above."

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

10/10 Excellent

"This is hands down the best hotel we have ever stayed at! Its absolutely beautiful. The staff is so friendly and helpful. Very clean. The pool was a lot of fun for our 6 year old daughter. The breakfast was incredible! We would stay here again in a heart beat. Shout out to the whole staff team at this hotel. You really know how to make sure guests are well taken care of and happy."
