My wife and I stayed at this hotel February 14th and 15th. It is very clean and comfortable and the gardens surrounding the swimming pool are beautiful. The food service in the restaurant is excellent. It is a short drive or cab ride into Fortuna. When the clouds part you get a good view of the volcano. more

This is a relatively new hotel. It has a beautiful pool looking out at the volcano. The staff is very friendly. We arrived after a three hour drive on the mountainous roads from Liberia and found the hotel inviting and comfortable. A good pizzeria almost next door is called Vagabondo. They serve thin-crust pizza baked right on the premises in... more

We had a great stay at Hotel Magic Mountain. The rooms were clean, the staff was very helpful, and the grounds are beautiful. We liked the swim up jacuzzi bar and it is also a great location. I only had one complaint - our rooms were a little musty. Since the weather is very humid there, it is possible all... more

We loved this hotel, location and the views from the rooms. Staff is very good and is always willing to help. The only thing that we didn't like is the bathrooms. There is a step by the bathtub which is very slippery when the floor is wet. Both of us fell twice in this bathroom, but luckily with no copmplications.... more

We stayed at this hotel for a girls trip. It provided the perfect accommodations for our slightly picky needs. it was clean and new and the front desk staff was very helpful for booking excursions and providing recommendations. I would go back and hope to do so soon. more

This hotel was great. It was clean, the staff was very helpful and attentive. It was on a great location, directly in front of the green side of the volcano, no other obstructions or hotels to block the view. We went during the slow season, so we had the hotel to ourselves the entire time. We took advantage of the... more

The Hotel Magic Mountain is a clean, moderately priced hotel in the Arenal Volcano area. The rooms are probably on par with a Holiday Inn type room in the USA. They rooms are all very clean, perhaps a bit on the smallish side, but they all gave great views of the volcano (not the active side so you will not... more

Magic Mountain Hotel was absolutely beautiful (and very reasonably priced). Rooms are large, comfortable and clean. Great swimming pool and jacuzzis (two). Staff was extremely nice to deal with and very accommodating; no insects whatsoever. AC, cable TV, modern bathroom, nice restaurant (breakfast was included). Really a great place, near the volcano,. hot springs and town. more

My spouse and I found the hotel very clean, with a great swimming pool. We had it all to ourselves. Our room had a balcony, where we could sit out at night and watch the Arenal Volcano. The complimentary buffet breakfast was the best we have had in terms of choice compared to other hotels in Costa Rica. more
