Great little hotel. Good breakfast, superb coffee. Excellent showers Very clean Louis was an excellent host, very helpful with lots of solid local tips and advice. A credit to the hotel. A 5/10 minute stroll into town. Very safe location WiFi is a little slow with connection issues in some rooms.

We (family with triplets aged 10) spent two nights at the Arenal Montechiari. The little lodges are a decent size with refrigerators and comfortable beds. There are bed side lamps in the rooms now so those concerned about the strip lighting comments needn’t worry! The gardens are beautifully planted with lots of colourful flowers; it’s a lovely place to hang out. Others had mentioned that the pool isn’t heated but it was warm enough for that not to matter. Our daughters spent hours in there. The restaurant only serves breakfast. It was the standard fayre with lots of fresh fruit, fresh eggs, rice/beans mix, etc. It’s an easy ten minute walk into town for lunch/dinner where there are lots of options. We had a good meal at La Fonda 506. There’s a lot to do the the area. Cannot recommend Ecoglide zip wiring highly enough (see separate review). It was epic!!!! Also enjoyed our walk up the volcano and an evening at the hot springs.

We had a beautiful stay here during our recent Costa Rica visit. The property is well maintained with a rustic design. The room that was given to us at first had a odd odor maybe due to the heavy downpour. We tried to ignore it at first by keeping the door open thinking it will pass. But when it didn’t we went to the office and they promptly shift us to another room on the other side. You can see the volcano from the property. The morning walks are beautiful with an opportunity to see so many birds large and small. Wifi only available in the office area and the dining area. We didn’t mind that since it was time to take a break from the smart gadgets. Only criticism would be the breakfast which was basic and blend. We found bugs cooked inside our pancakes. But the La Fortuna downtown only ten min walk with plenty of food options and stores. There was couple of convenient stores five min away as well from where we got our daily water bottle. Overall, very nice place with friendly and helpful stuff. The house keeping made cute animals with the towels and put fresh flowers. Please tip them generously.
