3-Star Hotels in La Fortuna

Whilst this is technically a hostel, it is far better than some hotels we stayed in! Rooms are great (good air con, hot water, good storage); facilities superb (pool, business lounge, kitchen/food prep area, pool table, great bar); well organised trips (the zip line followed by hot springs is a must!); very helpful staff; and the food delicious (tuna steak with salad delightful)

From the picturesque landscape to the Arenal volcano as a backdrop, Hotel Lomas del Volcán is worth five stars. Our room was in it's own bungalow, clean, comfortable and cozy. We had a large, spacious bathroom and balconies to the front and back of the bungalow. The grounds were impeccably manicured and the lush greenery and flowers just brought the paradise vibe. It was tranquil and just made me feel so much in harmony with nature. The front desk staff, tour scheduler, restaurant staff, porters were all friendly, polite and helpful and readily available. They always asked if you spoke Spanish and most could easily switch to English if necessary. The food was amazing! There was a wide variety of foods for breakfast and the wait staff there were smiling and bubbly. This is a dream location and our experience was top of the line. It was one of the best places, I've ever stayed at. Certainly value for money!

This is THE place to stay while in La Fortuna. Just a stones throw from Town Center you will find a lot to see and do in the area. Our room was conveniently located jut inside the center of this resort which included lush landscaping with an elevated outdoor pool area with a view of the Majestic Arenal Volcano! One of the nice employees pointed out the Sloths and frogs in the wooded area on the property. Amazing to be so close to town and nature all at the same time. They have a very nice restaurant and their staff are friendly and professional. We highly recommend Secreto in La Fortuna!!!

I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights as part of a trip with GAdventures booked through trail finders in the UK. We were checked in to what I think must have been the worst room in the hotel. It was at the back and over looked a side alley. We quickly showered and went to meet our group for dinner. When we got back, we noticed this god- damn awful smell which was coming from the drains and the water hadn't drained from our shower a few hrs earlier. Drains are notoriously bad across CR. We went to reception and the guy couldn't have cared less. We insisted he come and smell for himself. Well, he just couldn't have been more patronising or belittling. He said he couldn't smell it, he accused us of 'just showering' when we showed him the water and refused to do anything ie is clear the smell or move us. He said quite clearly numerous times, the hotel was full. We were left with no choice than to contact our Rep. Strangley enough we were given a different and much better room immediately. When we left, a lady came to our bus, thanked us for our custom and said they are a family run hotel. Clearly explained why the chap on reception couldn't give a hoot - he was hardly going to be sacked! Young ish guy, curly hair tied back in a pony tail. Poor Ester who came to say goodbye has no idea. He best things about this hotel are the friendly staff in the bar below, the view of the volcano from the terrace, and its only a shirt walk from the best place to eat in town- the rainforest cafe opposite (and Andreas is the best server!) but apart from that, I'd avoid it at all costs

We recently stayed at Arenal Hotel Inn and have mixed feelings about this place. We chose this hotel as they offered a room that can sleep 5 (3kids). The inn is set in a large lush garden setting. The staff were friendly and the grounds and rooms were clean. The large pool was a hit with the kids. A breakfast buffet is included and everyone was satisfied. Arenal Hotel Inn is an 8 min walk to the town. There are several restaurants closer by. El Sato Rope swing is a 5 min walk from the hotel. The beds were uncomfortable and squeaked loudly with every turn, making it difficult to get a good night's sleep. Unfortunately our room (25) was nestled between 2 others rooms. The walls between the rooms are thin and we could hear our neighbours talking. Additionally, the doors to the bathroom squeaked loudly, adding to the overall noise. There are standalone bungalows on the property I’m sure they would be better from a noise perspective.

I arrived at night so had no idea of the paradise. I had entered into... in the morning. I was knocked out by the view of the Volcano, the beautifully kept gardens. The staff are lovely and friendly. The breakfast is freshly cooked and very tasty. I discovered a sloth nature trail. about 2 minutes walk from the hotel which I thoroughly recommend and also the Restaurante Rodriguez a couple of minutes walk up towards the downtown area.

The hotel is a motel style with blocks of rooms arranged around a central garden, small pool and car park. Our room was big and clean with a balcony that looked straight out onto the Volcano. The shower was good. Breakfast was good. It is not a buffet, you choose options from a set menu, but there is a good choice and the food was nice. It is served in a covered outdoor restaurant. We were lucky to see otters and kingfishers hunting in the river behind the restaurant. There was also a sloth and a toucan in trees in the grounds. The hotel is well placed, just a block or so back from the main street with easy walking access to many restaurants and bars. I would recommend this as a good place to stay in La Fortuna.
