Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails

10/10 Excellent

"Arenal Observatory Lodge is a very special place; it is the only accommodation in Arenal that is actually situated in the volcano reserve and feels quietly tucked-away in the magical rainforest.. away from the touristic hum of La Fortuna town center.. which btw was still very easy to access with our rental car in 25-30 min. The lodge is a nature reserve itself that is beautifully maintained with miles & miles of serene hiking trails; Highly-recommend the free experiences included with your stay; the morning nature walk, the tractor ride to Danta Waterfall (tip: walk the trail back to your room vs. tractor ride back) and natural history talk given by their knowledgeable naturalists in their small, but info-packed museum on-site. We also paid for the night walk which is a MUST DO to see the many reptiles and amphibians who hide during the daytime. It was rainy season during our stay, so Arenal Volcano was barely visible... most days seeing only the base of the volcano, so our mountain-facing Smithsonian Room was not fully maximized (risk one takes during rainy season). But, the clouds parted in passing moments at other times during our stay and Arenal magically revealed its full glory as we climbed-up the 100-foot Observation Tower! The included breakfast at the restaurant is excellent and lunch/dinner is solid too. For peaceful, scenic rainforest immersion with access to Fortuna (with a rental car), this lodge is definitely a great choice."

Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast

10/10 Excellent

"The overall set up of the building was very cool. Loved how the rooms were set apart from the main area, in our case, through an outdoor walkway. And what a great common area inside and outside on the deck! The deck overlooked the countryside. The breakfast options provided were wonderful and we felt well taken care of. The decor of the building and rooms was truly unique, loved the white stucco, open beams and coloured glass bead designs! Very comfortable, clean and accommodating stay."

Koora Hotel by Sandglass

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful, serene, and peaceful location with clean and spacious rooms. Friendly and responsive staff. Daily breakfast was fantastic! Only downside was a bit of a musty smell in our room but that is to be expected in such humid environment. Overall, magical stay!"

Hotel Belmar, a Member of Design Hotels

8/10 Good

"stayed in the sunrise room: really exceptional. It is a wonderful hotel, but overall, falling too much in love as to how fancy it is. Case in point: the Celajes Restaurant. Gorgeous sunset views. Wonderful starter. Then came the 40$ filet. Worst filet I ever had. It was chewy, rather than melting in your mouth as it should. Told the waiter ( more politely), who brought the chef. Rather than receiving an apology, I got a lecture and was made to pay the entire bill. Perhaps I was too polite? Anyways, can‘t fully recommend it at that price. Get of your horse, Hotel Belmar! It is a shame, because all the employees are trying so hard. Ah, also, the sunrise room is truly fantastic. But it creaks and rumbles when the wind is blowing outside. I didn’t mind, but some may find that disconcerting."

Tityra Lodge

8/10 Good

"Room was great. Our room was next to the main road and very loud with traffic, cars and motorcycles. Enjoy the amenities and room, but not a fan of the noise."

Sangregado Lodge

"Great place right next to the mistico park. Very friendly staff who helped with activities. Excellent breakfast included at the nearby lost iguana"
