I stayed the night at the Inn as part of a package tour. I had a room to myself with all the amenities. The hotel staff were friendly and helpful and breakfast was included as part of my package with Expediciones Tropicales. The tour included a visit to the Tabacon spa and a night visit to the Arenal Volcano. Unfortunately,... more

We were right on with this little gem!!! Think of it as little bungle style- (casitas). I traveled with my husband and my 10 turning 11 year old son. The staff was simply amazing, they were the sweetest and friendly bunch. Margarita (one of the receptionist) even ordered my son's birthday cake for me. He was so surprised to actually... more

We stayed here 3 nights and I would say it's a nice place to stay. Breakfast is included, rooms are clean, service is good. There was nothing to make me say "wow, this is an amazing place," but then again there was nothing wrong with this place. It was big, clean, beautiful view. I would say that you can't go... more

I love La Fortuna I’ve been to La Fortuna many times because I simply love this place. I like the hot springs and the bunch of tours available, mostly because of the shorter driving times to the different attractions, I’ve been in other parts of Costa Rica and it can take a lot of time to go from one place... more

We got this hotel with our 2 days/1 night package to Arenal from Costa Rica Nature Escape - May 2009. We had a great time in Arenal and were glad we were staying at this hotel that night as it had been a full day of traveling & activities. This is not a resort type hotel but a bungalo style,... more

We have just been at Arenal Volcano Inn with my family. We are traveling with my three kids of 6, 10 and 13 year-old. The facilities of the hotel are great, everything was clean and tidy. Although in the Lonely planet the rooms are described as simple, I would say this is unfair. The rooms are new and with a... more

I booked the reservation on www.arenalvolcanoinn.com. They charge your credit card in advance. Was a little hesitant, but they were very professional and also helped me book transportation from SJO to the hotel. Got to the hotel and they had the room ready for us. They brought us extra towels, pillows and glasses. Everything was really clean. We stayed in... more

Arenal Volcano Inn is a great spot - provided you know ahead of time exactly what you're looking for in a hotel in La Fortuna. If you're looking for a little R&R while in La Fortuna, then this spot is perfect. It has a nice pool, hot tub, and full restaurant (and even a spa) on location. The rooms are... more

Really wonderful stay - clean, comfy rooms, great staff who helped us arrange lots of trips, a nice restaurant with lots of choice for breakfast and a cracking view of the volcano. Lovely grounds with howler monkeys, toucans and hummingbirds on site. Would highly recommend - a perfect holiday. As an aside, Arenal is much nicer than Monteverde! more

We have really nice stay at Arenal Volcano Inn, the room was very clean, the breakfast was delicious. we had a great hike in the Volcano Park, too bad the top of the Volcano was cover by the cloud, so we didn't see the lava coming down, but we heard the rumbling sound. more
