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 room was clean and spacious. It has balcony to see the volcano. The lodge has hiking trails. I enjoyed two day solo walk. Well maintained and easy to walk, except river trail. I met only few people on the trail and i was able to enjoy the solitude. I appreciate Greivin at reception helping me to arrange transportation to Mistico to La Fortuna town.

Set in Fortuna, 10 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Arenal Manoa Resort & Hot Springs offers accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a bar, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi.

A buffet, continental or American breakfast can be enjoyed at the property. The hotel was a "horizontal" complex in that all rooms were at ground level with just two rooms per building and the buildings are scattered throughout the property. As the rooms were on ground floor the view was limited, I guess because of privacy concerns by just stepping out the the door the the Arenal volcano is right in front of you, an amazing view! The breakfast was a well stocked buffet and the a la carte restaurant was also very good. For a less formal atmosphere we tried the excellent Sushi bar at the pool that is open til 10pm. (There is also a pizza place but we didn't try them). The staff were very friendly and helpful. Tours are available at the hotel and we took one to the volcano and another to jungle tour with suspension bridges. Both were good but we preferred the jungle tour. The thermal water hot pool was a great place to relax after hiking and sightseeing. If you have a car and feel a little adventurous the "Rio Celeste" in the Tenorio Volcano National Park is worth the trip. Its about 90mins from the hotel but be aware that the walking trail in the park is about 5 to 6 Km to take in all the viewing points and places can be uneven. To get to the waterfall there are perhaps 200 steps down (and then back up again!)

Featuring mountain views, Wellness Park CR features accommodation with patio, around 22 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. There is a private entrance at the holiday home for the convenience of those who stay. The holiday home also offers free WiFi, free private parking and facilities for disabled guests. It was very cosy and a nice retreat. You wake up in a park with hummingbirds in front of your door and a great view of the volcano. Then you can hike the Park trails (ca.3h) and experience a hidden jungle, waterfall with a lot of fauna. Also there is a cool viewpoint where you can get a photo of the volcano and the jungle.

Located in Fortuna, 7.1 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Butterfly Apartments provides air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi and express check-in and check-out. This recently renovated apartment is located 6.3 km from Kalambu Hot Springs and 22 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. The accommodation offers airport transfers, while a bicycle rental service is also available. There is just one apartment, so it's very private, and had plenty of room for 3 people. Quiet location, but close enough to town to walk. The entire space was super-clean, and had great air conditioning, wifi, coffee, sugar, salt, and everything we needed for cooking. Welcome book was very helpful and included personal recommendations for local sights, restaurants, and shopping nearby. There's safe parking right outside. Andrés was exceptionally kind and responsive!

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. This is the best resort i have stayed for the past few years and i travel extensively. Staffs are very kind and sincere, not overwelming for an introvert. My dome is very beautifully designed, spotless inside and out. Not to mention their holistic approach on the whole syntropic farm, three meals at the restaurant are farm to table. I saw sloths! toucans! on so many hikes by myself and with guides. All informative hikes.
