Arenal Vista Verde Hotel

Pool was closed and we weren’t told about this at all.. pretty disappointing. Breakfast in the morning was fast and staff were very sweet. Self check in was a bit more work since we arrived so late at night, but the staff worked over email to coordinate us getting our keys. Very safe area and close to lots of our excursions.

Rooms are stand alone, which is very nice. Feels like you are far away from the town. Yet just minutes away. Included breakfast was good, server was very nice. Randy who can help with tours very attentive. When we arrived we were informed the pool was closed for renovations. Would have been nice to know ahead of time. Was part of the reason my family booked there. Also Randy offered me $40 in restaurant credit because of the pool. Which seems less than fair. He never actually gave me the restaurant credits.. The hotel is under new management, so guess working the details out still. Will be a great place once the pool is completed.

We loved our stay at Hotel Volcan Verde. This hotel used to be known as Arenal History Inn up through about three months ago. It's near downtown La Fortuna, and tons of restaurants and shops are within an easy walk. With that being said, the hotel cabins are just off of the street enough that you feel like you are in a different world. (FYI, many hotels in this region, some of which are very pricey and opulent, are nowhere close to the downtown of La Fortuna.) There is also tons of parking spots near the cabins. Each cabin was beautifully appointed, with mini split air conditioning, excellent beds (Queens) and bathrooms, and a refrigerator with complimentary bottles of waters and juice boxes. EXCELLENT WiFi. Randy (the hotel manager) was great! WhatsApp communications with him were always fast and productive. He was able to set up many things for us in advance of our stay. Breakfast was complimentary (served between 7-9am), with excellent options ranging from local cuisine, to cereal/pancake options for picky eaters. Under special circumstances, you can order breakfast the day before and be served at 6:30am. The pool was under repair during our stay, so in exchange for the inconvenience, we received vouchers to the hotel's excellent (and extremely popular!) restaurant. He also helped set up discounted rates for a day pass at Baldi Hot Springs (just up the road from us, about a six minute car ride). All told, this was a great place to stay in La Fortuna!

Real good place and very neat and clean. Nice place and peaceful in the middle of green rain forest. Will go again..
