Hotel Guide - Chato Volcano hotels in , Costa Rica.

"PLUSES: Surroundings are gorgeous and lots of trails and things to do; full of birds for Birders, and various other animals. The staff was (mostly) professional, knowledgable and friendly. The grounds and rooms are very clean. The included breakfast is quite tasty with a variety of options. CONCERNS: The property is isolated, as it is 40 mins w/ no traffic or road issues to La Fortuna and other activities outside the property. Some may love this. Dinners were more of a 3/5. Something I overlooked is that there is no air-conditioning, though this is on me for not realizing. During the warmer "dry" season we would have preferred air-conditioning. PS: For all of the Arenal area (not just the Observatory) if driving from the West (say from Tamarindo beach area), once you hit Lake Arenal, it's about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to the Observatory, and 2 hours+ to La Fortuna, and this is with no road issues and little traffic."

"“We had a very good experience at this hotel. The rooms were clean and modern, and housekeeping did a great job. The staff was professional and responsive whenever I needed assistance. The location made it easy to get around,but entertaining which was disappointing. Adding more variety and better planning would greatly improve the overall stay.” 406"

"Loved this place everything top service "

"Wonderful hotel off the beaten path and super private. The room was fabulous. The bathroom was huge and the private pool was a huge plus. The staff was super friendly and helpful and the breakfast down the street was very good as well. Would definitely stay here again."

"Una vista increíble y rodeado de naturaleza"

"We enjoyed the whole stay at this property. It’s absolutely beautiful, friendly and a perfect location to enjoy the nature."

"Very recently stayed at Villa Laurel and couldn’t have been happier. The home is clean and comfortable, the pool is glorious and the view is amazing. We saw so many birds every day and even got to see a sloth on the property. Karina, the host, was very kind and responsive! The home is close to town and dining options, but feels like it is remote. The farm adds a unique feel and adds to the remote feel of the property. We will absolutely book this home, or Villa Sura, another home on the property, for our next La Fortuna visit. It was certainly difficult to pack up and leave, we could have stayed indefinitely :) thank you Karina for hosting us and caring so deeply about your property, it is truly amazing! "

"Small but has everything you need! The location and the views to the Volcano were perfect!"

"Splurged for a nice hotel for a few days in La fortuna. This place was wonderful. Great location a few minutes out of town but still restaurants and things to do nearby. This is a beautiful property with lots of wildlife and a peaceful river you can walk down to. You can see the volcano clearly from the pool and front area. Feel more like a resort than a hotel. The staff was very attentive and they all remembered my name. Great breakfast as well, I would stay here again and will recommend it to friends. "
