Situated in Fortuna, 7.4 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Noah's Forest Hotel by Tifakara features accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking, a garden and a shared lounge. Among the facilities at this property are room service and a 24-hour front desk, along with free WiFi throughout the property. Guests can use the hot tub, or enjoy mountain views. We liked it so much that we returned and stayed again! The bungalows are tucked away private so you feel as if you are completely alone, until you go to the restaurant for meals. Shout out to Juan Carlo for the amazing dinner service each evening at the Acacia restaurant! Not only did he remember our names but he had memorized our allergies, our food preferences and our drink preferences from day one! Eat at the restaurant, it’s the same price as in town but the quality is far far superior! The jacuzzi on the patios looking into the forests watching for sloths (yes there are sloths!!! Ekkk!) was pretty incredible! Overall it’s an amazing property and they do everything possible to ensure you are having a five star rainforest experience! You will not regret staying here.

I stay in Xandari every time i go to Costa Rica. The massage service in the Spa is very healing.

Located 14 km from Arenal Volcano National Park, Lomas del Volcan offers lush gardens, an outdoor pool and a hot tub. Each air-conditioned cabin has free Wi-Fi and flat-screen cable TV.

Accommodation at Hotel Lomas del Volcan is set in spacious wooden cabins with terraces overlooking the gardens. Each one has a fridge, coffee maker and bathroom with a hairdryer and free toiletries. When we arrived I saw one of the most breath taking views ever. The volcano is so close and makes a crazy impression. I could just stare at it. I wish we could stay longer. Such a peaceful and calm environment, breath taking view on the volcano, well maintained gardens, fantastic pool. So much wildlife- we could hear hundreds of birds all the time. I recommend visiting nearby restaurants as there are so many just a few minutes away. The only thing I didn’t like was a dinner at the hotel restaurant- it was expensive and really not too tasty. Very „Americanized” menu. I would rather have something local and simple. Breakfasts were wonderful though.

Nayara Gardens is a luxury boutique hotel and spa set against the panoramic backdrop of the Arenal Volcano, surrounded by Costa Rican Rainforest. Private bungalows have a private terrace with a plunge pool. Beautiful rooms with private pool with view to the rainforest. The entire resort is very clean with the pathways cleaned up frequently by the crew, and we spot wild sloth and monkeys in the resort without needing to go out. All the staff were very friendly. The restaurants were great and the food was amazing. Love the golf carts that could shuttle you to places in the resort, the turn down service in the room, and the daily free yoga classes. All of these made the stay simple exceptional and truly special.
