ARENAL LODGE ホテル(Hotel Arenal Lodge)

There are beautiful trails to walk on this property. The restaurant has excellent choices from breakfast until dinner, at very reasonable prices. It could be a little tricky to get from the chalet to the restaurant and back though: steep and slick after/during rain. Although it is an older resort needing a little TLC, our only complaint, other than the driveway up to the resort (!) is the extremely hard bed, and not much softer pillow. Those have to go!

Location was great, surroundings were great. The whole place was amazing but the rooms need remodeling they are like 35 years old. So if they remodel the rooms the experience would be totally different

The view is amazing. The staff are great - very helpful and friendly. The grounds are very interesting with several walking trails - could use some upkeep but a unique offering. Overall, a bit dated but well worth it for the location, staff and grounds. We would go back.

Wonderful property with great views, and friendly staff. Within reasonable driving distance to La Fortuna.

The road to reach to the property is a dirt road and it takes too long, property is in need of renovation and food below average

This was a really nice, private, quiet hotel with a great view of the volcano. We took a horse ride that was really fun and the view from the top was amazing! I would also recommend the massage. It was a super relaxing atmosphere and the staff was so friendly.

We had honeymoon suite #220. This was probably the most fancy suite I have ever stayed. It was a separate house, the last one, on the hill. We had glass windows from top to bottom on one of the walls and partial glass on the other two looking out to the jungle. There was a private jacuzzi inside the room with a very cool area to chill after. I loved the room. The breakfast was very mediocre. The dinner was just ok. The grounds of the hotel have jungle trails but it rained the whole time and we walked just for a bit. Now, here is what you don’t read and what they don’t advertise- the hotel is about 2 kilometres from the main road. It is kind of paved road but will only fit one car at a time. It takes about 15 min to get up to the hotel and 15 min to get down. It is not a pleasure ride what’s so ever. Because it was raining and we only stayed for one night, we literally just stayed in the hotel and didn’t drive to town to explore. We just didn’t want to drive that driveway again, especially at night. Not sure if any tour companies will even pick up from that hotel. Didn’t ask but maybe so for an extra charge.

The hotel is simple, but has a perfect atmosphere if you are staying in La Fortuna. You feel like home. Hotel owners are there with you!

Beautiful views in the entire property, all the rooms clean neat and well maintained.
