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. I wanted accommodation were we could see plenty of wildlife and be surrounded by nature. Arenal Observatory Lodge exceeded out expectations. We saw beautiful birds everywhere along with other wildlife. We considered the drive back to La Fortuna to be relatively easy, so did not mind that it was a little bit out of the way. Excellent breakfast and very accommodating and friendly staff. Highly recommend that horse trek here as well.

It was one of our favourite stays of the trip?

Set in Fortuna, 31 km from La Fortuna Waterfall and 34 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, Cecropia Ecolodge offers accommodation with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 49 km from the lodge. Fortuna Airport is 26 km away. 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!

Venado Caves is 16 km from the lodge, while Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 16 km away. Fortuna Airport is 21 km from the property, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Very beautiful cottage, extremely well equipped kitchen. The owners were very sweet. We had mostly cloudy weather but during the clear weather moments you had an amazing view on the volcano and sit on the terrace watching it. Extremely clean and very spacious. The accomodation is outside of La Fortuna but also next to a paved road, so you don't have to go off road

We only stayed one night based on our travel plans but wished we would have been able to stay longer. The accommodations were very comfortable and clean. The views were unbeatable and offered a very relaxing atmosphere.

Boasting an outdoor pool and a hot tub, La Finca Lodge is located in Fortuna, 35 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. Complimentary WiFi is available.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 50 km away. The nearest airport is Juan Santamaría International Airport, 98 km from La Finca Lodge. We loved that it was on a farm. It was a beautiful location about 40mins outside La Fortuna proper. You need a vehicle to get around. On the property there are horses, peacocks, miniature horses and even a beautiful water buffalo! The room was comfortable and the service was so hospitable and warm! DEFINITELY worth staying there!
