It offers excellent amenities and ample space for multiple people. The only thing I recommend is that, if you plan to cook meals while there, check the kitchen before starting. We had some items we had to improvise for, but the things in place were fantastic. ##### April Stayed 5 nights in Dec 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Claire Aug 11, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities, communication new property with nice view and pool ##### Claire Stayed 1 night in Jul 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Ares Mar 4, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication Excellent service and beautiful place ##### Ares Stayed 1 night in Mar 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### dan Dec 28, 2024 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities, communication New facilities.

They hooked me up with ride service (Cesar) that i am using for the rest of my transports. And will use again. Would definitely go again ##### Jeffrey Stayed 1 night in Jan 2025 ### 10/10 Excellent #### Matt Jul 1, 2025 Liked: Cleanliness, amenities, property conditions & facilities The pool, beds and space on the property are excellent. The kitchen is small but functional although missing some common amenities (i.e. dish towels). You can tell and appreciate that the construction is new and in relatively solid shape. There were a few items where the quality of the craftmanship was less than ideal. For example, the kitchen sink did not drain water (without debris) properly and there was a bathroom fixture that was loose. One other minor issue, even though the area is up on a hill with a beautiful view, you can hear an ample amount of road noise from cars and trucks. Even with those minor issues, the place was one that I would highly recommend to future guests. ##### Matt Stayed 3 nights in Jun 2025 ## Expedia's Latest Trends ### Hotels > [Hotel Volcan Verde](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-History-Inn.h17866818.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Linda Vista](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Linda-Vista.h7064176.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Observatory-Lodge-Spa.h11820519.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Secreto La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Secreto-La-Fortuna.h12860234.Hotel-Information) > > [Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Paradise-Hot-Springs-Thermal-Resort.h17222236.Hotel-Information) > > [Eco Arenal Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Eco-Arenal-Hotel.h5964265.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Montechiari Hotel](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Montechiari-Hotel.h6986430.Hotel-Information) > > [Tree Houses Hotel Costa Rica](https://www.expedia.ca/Florencia-Hotels-Tree-Houses-Hotel-Costa-Rica.h35128198.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Magic-Mountain-SPA-Conference-Center.h1636277.Hotel-Information) > > [Hideaway Rio Celeste](https://www.expedia.ca/Katira-Hotels-Hotel-Rio-Celeste-Hideaway.h3858533.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Las Colinas](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Las-Colinas.h4223949.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Penas-Blancas-Hotels-Heliconias-Nature-Lodge.h8386216.Hotel-Information) > > [The Retreat Costa Rica - Wellness Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Atenas-Hotels-The-Retreat-Costa-Rica-Wellness-Resort-Spa.h10447279.Hotel-Information) > > [Socialtel La Fortuna](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Selina-La-Fortuna.h19237432.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Manoa & Hot Springs Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Manoa-Hot-Springs-Resort.h1671981.Hotel-Information) > > [The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-The-Royal-Corin-Thermal-Water-Spa-Resort.h2486262.Hotel-Information) > > [Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Volcano-Lodge-Hotel-Thermal-Experience.h2133936.Hotel-Information) > > [The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal](https://www.expedia.ca/Monterrey-Hotels-The-Springs-Resort-And-Spa-At-Arenal.h2307339.Hotel-Information) > > [Nayara Springs - Adults only](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Nayara-Springs-Adults-Only.h8743893.Hotel-Information) > > [Baldi Hot Springs Hotel and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Baldi-Hot-Springs-Hotel-And-Spa.h2145540.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Monte Real](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Monte-Real.h10203312.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Hotel-Los-Lagos-Spa-Resort.h1312339.Hotel-Information) > > [Lost Iguana Resort and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Lost-Iguana-Resort-And-Spa.h1174121.Hotel-Information) > > [Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Arenal-Kioro-Suites-Spa.h1690575.Hotel-Information) > > [Blue River Resort & Hot Springs](https://www.expedia.ca/Guayabo-Hotels-Blue-River-Resort-Hot-Springs.h3969358.Hotel-Information) > > [El Silencio Lodge and Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/Toro-Amarillo-Hotels-El-Silencio-Lodge-And-Spa.h3940524.Hotel-Information) > > [Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Casa-Del-Rio.h27603041.Hotel-Information) > > [Amor Arenal Adults Friendly](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Amor-Arenal-Adults-Only.h29335103.Hotel-Information) > > [Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa](https://www.expedia.ca/La-Fortuna-Hotels-Tabacon-Thermal-Resort-Spa.h1142389.Hotel-Information)
