What guests think
Hotel Arenal Lodge draws praise for its breathtaking Arenal Volcano views, tranquil jungle setting, and friendly, hands-on staff, with many guests enjoying the pools, hot tubs, hiking trails, wildlife, and the convenience of the on-site restaurant.
Many reviews note that rooms and common areas feel dated, with some reporting dark or damp rooms, thin walls, or worn furnishings. The secluded hilltop location brings quiet and views but also a long, steep, poorly lit access road and extra time to reach La Fortuna or outside dining. Food feedback is mixed: several guests enjoyed tasty meals and breakfasts, while others found quality or portions inconsistent and prices high. Expect a rustic, scenic stay best suited to travelers who value nature and seclusion over modern polish.

Location
Secluded hillside setting with exceptional volcano and lake views and abundant nature. Access requires a long, steep, narrow road that is rough and poorly lit at night, and it’s a 20–35 minute drive from La Fortuna; a car is recommended.
