Independent hotels in La Fortuna, Alajuela Province

"overall excellent experience "

"I doubt you can find a better view of the Arenal Volcano than at Arenal Observatory Lodge, plus the property is gorgeous and filled with wildlife (so many birds and a troop of monkeys swung by one evening). This isn't a fancy place — more old school — but if you're looking for a peaceful space to reset and experience nature, it's perfect. We'd stay here again."

"Perfectly"

"Typical breakfast offerings. Pools are great as they located around memorable surrounding of the volcano and professionally manicured garden. Definitely worth the price for the stay."

"Very nice place, enjoyed the hot pools very much. "

"The hotel is spectacular; the thermal waters flow through pools seamlessly integrated with nature. The service from reception, housekeeping, and the restaurant is outstanding. There are also excellent excursion options."

"We loved the view from our room! The food was amazing and the staff was so kind."

"Very quiet place, good atmosphere "

"10/10 place to stay. The balcony in the room was lovely to have. Super comfortable and I loved the towel animals every day. The included breakfast was great, but we didn't enjoy our dinner at the restaurant. The pools were great and I enjoyed some fresh starfruit that we found on the mini hiking trail on the property. Great staff, accessible on-site parking. Definitely a gem."
