Do it!!! BOOK IT NOW!!!!
What an amazing experience from start to finish. We were a tad skeptic when we booked but the service and the rooms were amazing. Best breakfast you will have while down here guaranteed. They cook fresh omelettes and the food is fantastic. We don’t usually like all the food from hotels here but this one is in a class of its own

Best hot spring hotel
This hotel was amazing. Check in was fast and easy. Pool and property was clean. The room has A/C and a fan with a cute patio where you could hear the river. The staff was very friendly and greeting us with our first name. The hot spring was very relaxing and with a swim up bar we could have stayed all day. This hotel was also very close to all the attractions, only a 5-10 minute drive to everything. Buffet breakfast included made it nice to start our day without having to worry about waiting for food. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in La Fortuna.

Arsenals go to place.
Best place to stay in Arenal for price and comfort.
Other places charge twice as much and don’t offer anymore than you get here. And the grounds, pool, hot tubs and food are great.
Service is very accommodating and truly treat you well.
They can set up any excursion you want to do and have you picked up at the hotel.
They can also organize in room massages singles and couples.

GOOD VALUE but SO-SO ROOM
excellent breakfast buffet. Fresh fruit delicious. Resort property nicely landscaped with a huge variety of plants. Several pools that were clean, except not sure about hot thermals. Room ok except for bathroom. Mirror far too low. I am 6'2" and had to swat down to see my face. Inexcusable. Shower shampoo and bath gel awful. Neither would lather. I am alight sleeper and insect noises around the room made sleeping difficult. One was a constant (every few seconds) chirping the entire night. If I returned I would probably try a different hotel.

Affordable Luxury In The Volcanos Shadow
The Volcano Lodge and thermal experience was a wonderful resort. It was close to the volcano park and at the base of the volcano surrounded by nature. We saw sloths outside our room, various types of birds amphibians ( frogs) and reptiles ( iguanas, lizards, geckos) The food was excellent and the thermal pools really helped us relax at the end of the day and take the stress and soreness of the day away. Although we had our own transportation, the front desk offered activity packages including every entrance ticket and tour you could imagine of things to do in the area and they provided transportation. They even had an airport shuttle you could schedule in advance to pick you up at SJO or Liberia and bring you to stay with them. Luis was awesome and Joseph was the best employee. He helped me with an excursion issue I was having due to my Internet issues and my Internet provider. I would highly recommend this hotel and will stay there again when I’m in La Fortuna in the future. Very affordable rates as well. We were a party of 8 and had 4 rooms and stayed 3 nights.

Pros: room was very clean, the hot springs are right on the property and are great for sore muscles, the staff are very friendly, the resort is located very close to the arenal volcano and other sights in la fortuna
Cons: this place has a touristy resort feel, lots of families and kids running about the hot springs and the pool. I wish it was more kid-free. the food here is quite expensive compared to your typical costa rican soda.

Best place in la Fortuna/Arenal
This is the best place to stay in la Fortuna/Arenal
Just at the resort you have great views of Arenal, plus the fauna and animals are amazing.
You have hot spring baths or relax in the pool.
Breakfast is unbelievable everything you could want.
Staff can arrange for any excursion you would like with pick up and drop off at reception area.
They offer private hot tubs on patios of some rooms, which are nice to relax in after a day of trekking.
This was my fourth stay here and as always there will be another soon.
