アレナルオブザーバトリーロッジ＆トレイルズ(Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails)

It has a spectacular view. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff very friendly. Food very good. And the view!! Lovely walking trails and activities. We will be back! The only problem is that it is remote on a mountain. If you have a car, no problem. If you need transportation to La Fortuna it gets pricey.

The lodge and trails were beautiful. So much to see. The staff were so friendly, helpful and knowledgeable. We had a morning and evening walk with Christian #2 and saw so many things. He was wonderful. We can’t wait to come back.

Outstanding place to stay! Beautiful grounds, great accommodations and excellent staff! We saw so many wonderful birds thanks to their feeding station. We did their night walk tour and it was fascinating! I’d highly recommend staying here. You won’t be disappointed if your looking for beautiful grounds, great service and bird watching.

The location of this property and the trails and overall maintenance and view of the Arenal Volcano. However the last 5-6 km from main road to this lodge needs to be paved. Its difficult to drive and specially in the night.

This hotel was great and the views of the Volcano from your room was amazing. A lot of hiking trails…my only regret is not staying longer.

Beautiful grounds with walking/hiking trails. Our room had a balcony with the lake view and it was amazing. Property offered a free guided nature tour in the morning for the guests. Full breakfast was included.

The trail system, the pool, the dining menu and the prime location all contributed to a positive experience at this lodge. This is our second visit at Arenal Observatory Lodge and we continue to appreciate the well maintained gardens and trails, as well as the variety of birds in the area.

My family and I loved the grounds- specifically picked this hotel for its natural surroundings. Beautiful property and large, so great for hiking. It is a bit more remote though and there is only one hotel restaurant but it was very good- it was just a bit pricey. We did not leave the hotel after it got dark (6pm) because the road conditions are not that great so our only real choice for dinner was at the hotel. Overall still an excellent stay.

It was a great stay and we had a great time. Best views of the volcano. Bird viewing deck was a treat. The only thing the rooms were missing was a curtain/blinds for the bathroom sink area window. Lot of light was coming from outside so couldn't sleep well.
