Located within 25 km of La Fortuna Waterfall and 4.1 km of Sky Adventures Arenal in El Castillo de La Fortuna, Los Tucanes Lodging features accommodation with a kitchenette. This guest house provides free private parking, luggage storage space and free WiFi. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a car rental service is also available. The owner was so very helpful and warm and friendly. She gave us a great breakfast, helped us to figure out where to visit (hot springs, volcano, and ziplining). The location was outstanding. You can see both the volcano and a bit of the lake below, since you are perched up on a hillside. The patio was so very cool as well: swings, hammock chair, tables constructed from shipping pallets. All very sweet looking. If we ever come back to the area we will DEFINTELY stay with her again.

The guest house consists of 2 bedrooms, a living room, a fully equipped kitchen with a fridge and a coffee machine, and 1 bathroom with a shower and free toiletries. Towels and bed linen are featured in the guest house. The accommodation is non-smoking. What a pleasant visit! This casa was perfect. I stayed for six nights and the owner was so friendly and accommodating. The bed, sheets, pillows, towels, kitchen supplies, all were perfect. There is a covered balcony with a view to the town, wonderful walking opportunities, and a place on the covered balcony to wash your clothes, etc. Safe neighborhood, and good wifi. Will definitely stay again. 🙏🏼

Arenal Garden Lodge is located in El Castillo de La Fortuna within the Arenal Volcano National Park. Free WiFi access is available in all areas.

Each room features a seating area, a fridge and a coffee machine. The bathrooms have free toiletries. Some rooms have a lake view. Extras include bed linen, a fan and cleaning products. Just stay here. Friendly host. Great view. Spacious room, including bath spa. Received an upgrade at no extra cost, which was greatly appreciated. The property really is just metres outside the Sky Adventure Park, not the entrance down below, as the directions are somewhat vague.
