If you go to Arenal, don't pay more for less. Pay what you should and get more later with the extra money you saved. This hotel is perfect for families with young children. The gardens are safe, well maintained and beautiful to walk around in with youngsters. The food at the restaurant was great! And all the different hot springs... More

There isn't anything bad to say about this hotel. The room was clean, the grounds are gorgeous, the food at the restaurant is good, and the staff was amazing. Carlos at the restaurant was extremely friendly and attentive. Fabian at the front desk was so helpful and sweet. If you're staying in La Fortuna, definitely consider staying here!

We really enjoyed our stay here at the Volcano Lodge. The views from our room were amazing, and the wildlife kept us out on our patio for hours. Between the hummingbirds, frogs and lizards we also had a full view of the volcano. The weather couldn't have been better while we visited too - for being the rainy season, we... More

The location is fantastic, close to town and tours/activities. The best part had to be the view it offered throughout. No matter where you were on the property, you seemed to have an impressive view of the Arenal Volcano. Loved this place! Would highly recommend.

The hotel location was very nice. A short distance away from the nearest town of La Fortuna. The gardens around this hotel were amazing and made for some wonderful pictures. The view of the volcano was stunning. Only a few hours out of two days it was shrouded in clouds, but thats how it goes. We had a private nook... More

Stayed for a couple of days. The grounds of the hotel are absolutely beautiful. The rooms are decent and the staff was very friendly. The breakfast at the restaurant was pretty good as was the room service food. I would stay there again.

This is a good value lodge close to Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna and all hot springs locations. We enjoyed the beautiful grounds and walking trail behind the lodge. The pools were beautiful and I was happy to have a swim up bar! We also really enjoyed the daily, traditional buffet breakfast, with spectacular views of the volcano. I suggest getting... More
