Hotell i La Fortuna

Plus: Basically Everything

Minus: There was no gym facility!!! Hopefully on my return there will be one

Plus: They made every effort to make us feel comfortable and even upgraded our room/bungalow. The thermal waters felt great and our bartender made every effort to please us. Breakfast was simple, but appetizing. I wished we had stayed here more time. Thank you!

Plus: I princip allt

Minus: Det fanns ingen gymanläggning!!! Förhoppningsvis kommer det finnas ett nästa gång jag kommer

Plus: Great location, very customer-centric, convenient to fun activities, interesting tours, and good restaurants

Minus: Breakfast and coffee not available until 6:30. Activities have early start times so breakfast at least by 6 would be better

Plus: Comfortable and luxury rooms, great volcano views.

Minus: Food at rhe bar a little pricey

Plus: The cabin was awesome.

Minus: More air conditioning needed.

Plus: I would definitely stay here again! Minutes from town and minutes from la Fortuna waterfall. The staff was amazing and so helpful! Needless to say we rented the villa and it was amazing!!

Plus: Stugan var fantastiskt.

Minus: Mer luftkonditionering behövs.

Plus: Jag skulle definitivt bo här igen! Minuter från stan och några minuter från la Fortuna vattenfall. Personalen var fantastisk och så hjälpsam! Det behöver inte sägas att vi hyrde the villa och det var fantastiskt!!

Plus: I cannot say enough about our stay at the Volcano Lodge and Springs. We booked it because the rainy season rates were hard to pass up and because 95% of previous guests rated it Excellent. The room rates were so low that I wondered if the ratings could be true...but I have never had more good things to share about a hotel experience! We stayed in a superior room with an amazing view of Arenal from our porch. The property is designed so that the view from your patio makes you feel like you are at a private villa. All we saw before us was Arenal and lush vegetation. There were people next to us but we never saw or heard them. You couldn't even see where the cars were parked. It was almost total solitude. The room was attractive and clean. The beds were comfortable. The shower was always warm. Our room was only a short walk from the main pool and mineral springs which was a pleasant surprise. Others will have to walk further but the grounds are so nice that the walk is like a stroll in a garden. I read some reviews that the breakfast was adequate but nothing special. I have no idea what they were talking about! To me it was a wonderful daily brunch. We stayed 4 nights and looked forward to each morning. Most food items stayed the same but how can you complain about having fresh bananas, pineapple, papaya, and watermelon, three different breads for toasting, pancakes, scrambled eggs, rice and beans, sweet plantains, lunch meat and cheese, a waffle station and made to order egg station with 6 toppings for omelets, OJ and Mango / Banana juice, and coffee to pick from? There were also two breakfast breads each day that varied and one or two different Costa Rican hot items each day that included small sausages, chicken or sausages in a creamy tomato sauce, and several types of what they called "hash"…potato based one time and green bean based another. To top it off, the restaurant has a great view of Arenal and the pool / mineral springs area and an attentive and cheerful staff. They even attached their old bananas to a nearby tree each morning to attract birds! The pool was clean and the mineral springs area very relaxing. They just added a second hot springs and bar. The grounds are filled with beautiful plants and fruit trees with a running / walking nature trail that they are just getting going. It was a bit confusing but we loved it…especially watching the intricate world of leaf cutting ants! Bottom line...you will love this place!

Plus: Great pool, amazing staff, very clean. Good location.

Minus: Wifi was weak if some places, but not a big deal!

Plus: Bra pool, fantastisk personal, mycket rent. Bra läge.

Minus: Wifi:t var svagt på vissa platser, men inte en stor grej!

Plus: Value. Cleanliness.

Minus: Room is small

Plus: We loved the hotel! Too bad we only stayed one night because they were booked. The photos in the internet does no justice.The staff was very nice and everything was very clean. The room was large and it felt like a luxury hotel. The garden was very pretty and very well kept. The view of the volcano was beautiful. My daughter and her husband got a massage at the spa and they said the setting was beautiful in the lush gardens next to a river. The hot spring pool are drained and new water is put in in the morning. Loved everything about the hotel. Only regret is that we didn't stay there more days. We went the next day to another hotel that was more expensive and was not as nice.

Plus: Great location. Unbeatable views of Volcan Arenal. Wonderful pools and grounds. Great restaurant. Large clean air-conditioned rooms.

Plus: Värde. Renlighet.

Minus: Rummet är litet

Plus: Vi älskade hotell! Så illa vi bodde bara en natt eftersom de var bokat. De foton på internet gör ingen rättvisa.Personalen var mycket trevlig och allt var mycket rent. Rummet var stort och det kändes som ett lyxhotell. Trädgården var mycket vacker och mycket välskött. The view of the volcano var vacker. Min dotter och hennes man fick en massage på spaet och de sa Omgivningen var vacker i lummiga trädgårdar intill en flod. Den varma källan pool är tömd och nya vatten in i i morgonen. Älskade allt med hotellet. Enda jag beklagar är att vi inte bo där mer dagar. Vi gick det nästa dag till ett annat hotell som var mer dyrt och var inte lika fina.

Plus: Utmärkt läge. Oslagbar utsikt över Volcan Arena. Underbara pooler och trädgård. Bra restaurang. Stora rena luftkonditionerade rum.

Plus: The resort was a beautiful setting lots of greenery and a very friendly and accommodating staff. Had a plumbing problem first day but it was quickly resolved. Food was good and location was close to town but still tucked away.

Plus: The place is beautiful. The pool and hot tubs are great. When we checked in we took advantage of the special at the spa. The spa is amazing the massage was fine but the location is unbelievable, the room was open on one side facing the jungle and river I have never been to a spa before where the nature sounds were real and not played through speakers.

Minus: It's the jungle do you have to expect some bugs. There were tiny ants everywhere at the resort they did not bother anything but seeing ants crawl through the room lowers the cleanliness score to 4 stars. That being said I would stay here again in a heartbeat even with the ants.

Plus: The staff were extremely friendly and helpful. The grounds were amazing and we loved that we had access to the National Park trails. The Jacuzzi was a nice treat after a long day of hiking. The views were breath-taking! Access to other activities was relatively easy but the roads are not great. Town was about a 30 minute drive away. Nice breakfast buffet provided free of charge!

Minus: It would be nice to have screens on the front doors as well so you could have both the patio door (which had a screen) and front door open to allow a cross-breeze. The room became a bit stuffy and buggy during the day without this. Also it would be good if t pool was heated to allow swimming year round. The prices for food at the restaurant were expensive. The Happy Hour (2 for 1) would be better if they allowed for 2 different drinks vs. 2 of the same kind of drink. Finally a shuttle to town that ran even just 3 times a day would be a great perk!

Plus: We loved having so many hikes/walks to do right on the property and a very good restaurant as well. It was so nice having nature and animals outside our door each day. The staff was warm, welcoming, helpful and friendly. There were plenty of activities to do on the grounds for all ages: pool, foosball/game room, checkers, books, TVs in the main buildings and a hot tub.

Minus: Be aware that the Lodge is a 20-25 minute drive from La Fortuna up a somewhat rough dirt road. If you have your own vehicle it's easy to get to and from, but without a bit more challenging. There are taxis that cost $30 each way or a shuttle 3x/day from the lodge.

Minus: Prices or food were a bit expensive...we had a car so we drove to La Fortuna

Plus: Location, views and surroundings were fabulous. Staff were ultra helpful.

Minus: It would have been helpful to have a small desk and chair in the room for using computer. Morning nature walk was a bit disappointing, as guide only occasionally stopped to point something out. Food was only fair.

Plus: The staff was very welcoming, pleasant and friendly. The room was very comfortable, air conditioning worked beautifully and the beds were comfortable. Breakfast was great. Great variety of food, fresh and natural juices. Local tastes. We arrived late for breakfast as they were closes down and one of the cooks was nice enough to come over and ask us if we wanted fresh eggs and she prepared them for us. We had 2 rooms with 2 double/queen beds. We would stay again!

Minus: I really can't say anything bad. The only thing that was a little different was we didn't have hand towels for the shower. But I understand that I am just use to using hand towels in the shower being from the US and many other countries may not use them. This is more of a personal preference, than anything, and I personally would not hold it against the property. Sometimes it's nice to break away from the norm. :)
