Arenal Volcano Inn

We stayed here for a small portion of our honeymoon and loved it! We booked through anywhere.com and didn't really have any expectations, but we really enjoyed the quiet atmosphere, proximity to activities and restaurants, and the friendly staff. We arrived from the airport after 2am and there was a staff member waiting to show us right to our room, where there was a cute surprise set up to congratulate us. The restaurant food was delicious and the wait staff was very kind and helpful. The pool is lovely, there is a small trail to a lookout with a lovely view, and when the clouds clear you can see the volcano from almost anywhere on the property.

We absolutely loved loved loved the Inn. Every room is a standalone Casita. Big rooms, with incredible views of Arenal volcano. We were in a deluxe room right next to the observatory and we had so much fun viewing from our porch, room window, and the observation tower. It was beautiful behind the room as well with tropical scenery and a creek nearby. Plus, of course, the volcano. We loved the volcano. She only is clear about 10 minutes of the day; feels very special to catch her, and you are SO close. The pool is small but nice and the hottub is a nice touch. We loved wandering around the property. We also LOVED the restaurant. Wood fire pizza, and some of the best pasta we've ever had. The breakfast was lovely. We were only there 2 nights unfortunately (wish we'd stayed longer!) but the server remembered us and was so kind. The staff was wonderful and have the details down to a science. We felt very taken care of. We would stay here again in a heartbeat. 5 minutes to Baldi Hot Springs where we spent the morning and evening. Perfect.

We booked it through Airbnb and we were so happy with it! It’s a hidden gem! The location is dreamy, it’s very clean and has lots of greenery all around. We felt like we could stay in the hotel and that alone would give us a great experience of La Fortuna. There are two pools (for adults and kids) and a jacuzzi. We swam in both, you can get big pool towels at the reception. Lots of people were swimming there, it’s a very nice and clean pool that lights up in the evening. Rooms were very spacious and clean. We got a crib for the baby which was waiting for us upon the check in. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Hernan was always available and made sure things were running smoothly in the hotel and at the restaurant. Now about the restaurant. The food was amazing! We had breakfast and also tried their dinner menu as part of the Que Bueno restaurant (extra charge, a la carte). Breakfast options were changing daily. We had meat balls, shredded chicken, chorizo, puncakes, plantain, gallo pinto, fruits, eggs, pastries - everything was delicious! The only minor inconvenience was Wi-Fi, it kept disappearing time to time but we still managed to get a few things done, it’s just not very reliable if you need to work or have a Teams call, for example. In our opinion, it’s a 5/5 stay and food! Would definitely recommend and come back there.

Stayed here as part of a tour group. I was given a room at level 2 and was woken up every morning by road noise. The Wi-Fi didnt work properly, even at the reception I couldn’t connect to my VPN and was unusable in the room. Room looking a little worn. No tv channels in English. The grounds had pretty manicured landscaping but would have liked more jungle for maximum wild life. While I was there…there wasn’t any bird feeders set out and there wasn’t a sloth on the property. Some toucans did land way high up on some trees that I enjoyed seeing. It did have a decent view of volcano but it looked like there were other places with better views on the other side of the road. The buffet breakfast was just ok. Reception staff were nice.

Great location and view of the volcano! Rooms are very simple but clean and the staff is really nice. The breakfast is amazing and the hotel offers a swimming pool

Absolutely wonderful. My husband and I spent our honeymoon here, and it was perfect. The staff were all kind and helpful. Would 100% recommend.

The room was amazing!!, perfectly clean and well furnished, beautiful gardens and views in the entire property, and the most delicious complete “tico” breakfast, way beyond our expectations price/quality!|The staff was very kind and make us feel as family! ❤️

Arenal Volcano Inn is a gem. It is a very beautiful and peaceful property, with gorgeous landscaping (complete with a small trail and lookout tower!). It is driving distance to many hot springs and activities and about a 5-10 minute drive to La Fortuna, making it a bit out of the hustle and bustle of town but still close enough to everything. The food at the restaurant was good and the service was great. Everyone is super friendly and helpful. Our kids also loved the pristine pool + hot tub. The rooms were clean and comfortable however the only thing that would have made it five stars is if they allowed four people to a room. Our family of four had to be split across two rooms when we easily could have fit in one. All in all a great experience and we would return!
