Fortuna
With La Fortuna Waterfall reachable in 32 km, La Tigra Rainforest Lodge features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. Great location in the middle of the rainforest, breakfast and dinner were also good. Very immersive experience. Stayed in tent, everything was perfect - just know that being in the middle of the rainforest and it rains it is hard to dry anything :) hotel does offer drying service
Fortuna
Surrounded by 860 private acres of tropical rainforest and featuring an on-site lake, a swimming pool, a sun terrace and games room, Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails is located within the Arenal Conservation Area, only 2.7 km from the Arenal Volcano. The location is the main feature of the property. The lodge is an ex-Smithsonian research site established after the 1968 eruption. It has excellent, private hiking trains that include waterfalls, a frog pond (which we visited multiple times with our children to spot several frogs without any guide), an observation tower, waterfalls, a working farm and more. The views of the volcano are exceptional from both the restaurant, which also overlooks Lake Arenal, and many of the rooms. The grounds are fantastic and the staff put out various food to attract birds and other wildlife. We saw coati, howler monkeys and many birds. It was fantastic and the children loved it. Contrary to some previous reviews, the food was good (not excellent) and I suspect they have altered the menu based on feedback from previous guests.

Fortuna
Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 23 km from the lodge, while Sky Adventures Arenal is 24 km from the property. Fortuna Airport is 7 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Had an awesome visit! There are SO many great sodas and places to eat at in town, we didn't necessarily want to pay for included breakfast. The kitchenette was perfect, and we could re-heat leftovers etc, but it really felt more like staying at our own place. We hardly saw another person (staff or guests, but we know they were there!) the whole time, and it was so peaceful. Staff was very responsive to questions via Whatsapp, and the instructions for getting in and out of the gate/ parking area/ keys etc were very clear.

Cecropia Ecolodge exceeded our expectations. It isn't just a place to sleep, it's a place to explore, to learn (not only about yourself but about the natural world around you), it's a place to truly channel that pura vida energy, and all of this was possible for us because of the owner, Jay. He's an incredible host and always doing the most! If you have the opportunity to stay here, please take part in the night tour - it was truly one of the many highlights of our trip; we learned so much about the jungle and it's hidden wonders! Breakfast was always so delicious and they were incredibly accommodating to my partner's celiac disease and provided gluten free alternatives. Overall, we had an incredible time here, what a special place. We will never forget it!

This place was the equivalent of heaven on earth. I would consider just buying a ticket to Costa Rica to spend a week here and enjoy total peace and relaxation. Our room was big, with a huge balcony that had two chairs and a hammock. The view is amazing. The place feels so safe that you can sleep with the big windows fully open and be woken up by the horses eating grass outside your window. The WiFi worked great. The shower was huge and with water flowing very well. The location is a big farm so you can even go walk and see dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, anything. They have a swimming pool and a hot tub that you can use anytime you want. They also offer paid laundry service and they have a restaurant. Breakfast was also included and it was great. The hosts and waiters are all really kind and accommodating. Each room has a private parking spot right outside the room. I mean, I could go on for days about how great this place is. My girlfriend and I almost cried when we had to leave. This place is just so great. Do yourself a favor: if you have a car, avoid staying in La Fortuna and stay here. You'll love it.

Great location only 5 minutes from La Fortuna waterfall. Rustic lodges in the rainforest, each having privacy from the others. Walking trails in back of lodges. Loved the high ceilings and the wood accents, the air conditioning, the coffee maker in the room, and the balcony with rocking chairs. We sat outside and watched birds upon our arrival. Shower was spacious. Breakfast was delicious. Host was very friendly and offered tours if we wanted them, including a night walk onsite.
Surprisingly nice spot on a hill, with lots of green and flowers. Nicely designed area. Fine swimming pool, good lodges and fine breakfast
The rainforest setting is so beautiful. The lodges are completely immersed. Dozens of birds can be heard. Three friendly dogs and 2 cats live on the property and come visit. We stayed in a 3 bedroom private lodge that had everything we needed to sleep comfortably and prepare food. The owner and staff are very responsive and help book tours and rides.
Beautiful location far from noises and roads. Really relaxing. An astonishing garden surrounds the lodges that are at the borders of the forest.
These lodges are amazing value! The location and views are excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing us with a packed breakfast on our first morning as we were leaving early for ziplining. The next breakfast was freshly cooked with options to suit everyone. Our chalet was a little dated but really large, clean and well furnished.
The location set in the rainforest is so beautiful. While most of the route to the lodge is now paved, the last few kilometres is still on a gravel track. You feel that you are at one with nature. As a wildlife photographer I feel this is one of the best lodges to capture the amazing birds that visit the feeders Adolpho made us feel extremely welcome
Very friendly staff and excellent organic and gluten free dishes. Nice hiking in the lodges property with interesting wildlife. Good massage in the spa.
The setting was beautiful with lots of wildlife in the water. The lodges are spotlessly clean with everything 6 could need otherwise Roy is a great host and always there should we need
Lovely little budget place, close to town but not too close so was still nice and quiet. Our kids loved the small pools and generally had them to themselves. Breakfast was easy and staff were friendly. Lodges were comfy - fridge was much appreciated. The site is very attractive and overlooks the sloth sanctuary - we saw many while sitting at the pool. Great view of the volcano.
