It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.

We stayed in the 2 bedroom Villa. The beds were comfortable. The location was private and quiet - but there are significant upgrades needed. We had large beetles in the house and lizards. There is a limited breakfast and no other dining options. The reception was not friendly - like we interrupted his time.

When we first arrived, we were the only car in the parking lot. That had us a bit concerned but more guests did arrive later. Front desk staff was friendly. As soon as we checked in, the electricity went out for a few hours. The room itself was disappointing due to the musty, mildew smell. Luckily it was cool enough to have the windows open at night. However, we then heard barking dogs and very loud guests. I brought ear plugs which were helpful. The free breakfast offered was fine. However, the staff did not bother cleaning the table that we first set down at after I let them know it was full of ants. We obviously moved and I let the next party know so they did not sit there. The location to the Arenal Volcano and town restaurants is convenient. I would not stay here again unless I paid more for a private villa instead of a standard room in the main building. The grounds and the view are beautiful.

This property feels like an abandoned hotel. Yes it serves its purpose of shelter, but house smelled of garbage/sewage. Even outside sitting on pool deck. House just really run down.

Right in the rain forest! Loved the sound of the rain on the tin roof! Very peaceful! Lots of birds and wildlife! Toucans right outside of our cabin! Breakfast was great! We enjoyed going to the waterfalls nearby.

There were rats/bats living in the ceiling so I did not sleep at all - there was a huge gap in the door allowing any animal in and we found droppings all over our suite. The overall conditions of the hotel are quite old and run down and the photos are quite deceiving. The landscape was beautiful and being right beside the La Fortune Waterfall was very convenient but not worth the lack of sleep. Our suite was not cleaned one time by maids and they did not care that animals were all over the room.

That Bed

Was in a very quiet place. Close to the La Fortuna Falls. The walls are thin so you can hear your neighbours. Breakfast that was included was delicious but smaller compared to others in the region. The bed and pillows were super comfortable. Slept like a dream. Would go back for that bed.

This is an excellent choice for beauty and value. Amazing hot breakfast. Elevated vista view over la fortuna. Many species of birds including the yellow toucan. Staff attentive Our unit # 10 could use a resupply of basics - dishes, utensils, icecube tray, and some small tables But a very good stay while in the area A good restaurant not too far is Chante Verde Thankyou!

Great stay at Arenal Waterfall.

Great location and price. The complimentary breakfast and observation trail makes it even better deal. The only down side was the squeaky old mattresses and neighbors running water for an hour at night.

The room was nothing like the pictures. It feels like those pictures were taken a long time ago. The hotel is a bit run down. Staff was courteous and it was clean. The environment was nice and very close to waterfall. There is no restaurant on site but breakfast is included and was good.

Ok. La Fortuna has better.

Cute place, loved all the glass. Breakfast was good enough, but to ask for an extra price of bacon you have to have exact change to pay extra. That was tacky and not very customer-friendly. Also, there was something living in the wall between bedroom and kitchen, probably a mouse/rat. And, to be clear, the lodge is not connected to the waterfall- you pay a separate outfit for that.
