We warmly recommend this hotel if you are going to stay in Arenal Volcano area for birdwatching & wildlife photography or just to enjoy the setting and the amazing views on the volcano. We visited the place while travelling in a small group guided tour ( Amerik Aventure ecotours ) back in May with our daughters. We are keen wildlife... More

My brother and I ended up engaged at the same time so we decided to have a double wedding and do it in Costa Rica. We worked with Hernan (co owner) or Arenal Volcano Inn. He was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! He put SO much work and effort into making our day beyond perfect, which was even more of a task with... More

Location wise it's pretty much part of the strip of hotels between Fortuna and Arenal. Rooms are good in some ways but little things like lighting and drainage in the bathroom could be improved. The restaurant has good food and service. We booked here because the other hotels with hot pools were all booked out so if we came back... More

There is nothing really wrong with this propoerty. The views from some rooms (of the volcano) are stunning and the landscaping is very attractive. The restaurant (italian-themed -- the pizza is pretty good) is OK, and the included breakfast is better than average. The biggest gripe is that the rooms are inadequately furnished. Ours, for instance, had a kitchen area... More

We stayed at the Arenal Vvolcano Inn for 2 nights and it was outstanding. The grounds are beautiful, the rooms were spotless and cleaned each day, and we had a very comfortable time. (BTW, it is true, the volcano is not currently active. Don't be too put off, as the area is beautiful anyway) The staff was outstanding. We thought... More

The hotel is on the road out of La Fortuna as you go to the Arenal Volcano. It is about a 10 minute ride by cab and cost about $8 to go into town. Our room had 2 queen beds, and was large and clean. The room also had a nice patio. WiFi is free but available only in the... More

This hotel is an excellent place to stay and has great views of Arenal Volcano. Every room has volcano views and their exteriors are well kept, you would like walking around in the area with humming birds buzzing by. Their breakfast buffet was one of the best in our Costa Rica trip. Restaurant prices are reasonable. The best part of... More
