Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails also features an on-site bird sanctuary that has around 500 different species of birds; other recommended activities include tours of Arenal Volcano's lava flows, exploring the several nearby waterfalls, or climbing the 28 m. (92 ft.) wildlife observation tower, The Nest. Arenal Lake is an excellent site to practice sports fishing. There are also 11 km of walking trails throughout the property, or guests can just relax in the hot tub or have a massage in the spa. 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.

The hotel’s Los Lagos Spa & Resort Thermal Experience features gourmet, tropical dishes made with local produce. You can also enjoy a cocktail at the relaxing swim-up Lemnos Wet Bar by the seasonal outdoor pool. It was absolutely stunning. The hot springs were endless and super clean and private! My husband and I really enjoyed ourselves. We felt so relaxed and well taken care of.

Offering an outdoor pool and spa centre, Finca Luna Nueva Lodge is set in Fortuna in the Alajuela Region, 26 km from Monteverde. The farm stay has a year-round outdoor pool and sun terrace, and guests can enjoy a meal at the restaurant. Free private parking is available on site. Finca Luna is the perfect balance between environmentally friendly establishment and luxury and comfort. The nature (vegetation and animals from iguanas to sloths)around the hotel compound is amazing and gives lots of options to explore. The staff is wonderful and ready to help and support all your needs, including tours in the area. Our favorite was childrens eternal rainforest hike. The restaurant serves mostly food prepared with homegrown vegetables and fruits through regenerative farming. The accommodation we had was Casa Deluxe and it had everything you need. Swimmingpool is always accesible to relax, and it is cleaned with ozon, so no chlorine, which is fantastic. For practical matters, the internet through wifi worked fantastic (happy kids), and the cost of food was ok, but if you want to explore other restaurant options in the area, you need a car. Overall, Finca was the best place we have ever stayed. Hope to be back someday.
