Arenal Waterfall Lodge Villas

Very beautiful rustic lodges. We stayed in the villa with the private pool, such a beautiful view of the town and volcano, although it wasn't fully visible to us due to the weather during our stay, but still amazing. The lodges are on the older side on the inside but very well cleaned and the property is very well maintained. We all loved our stay. The breakfast was also very good and they pick you up and drop you back off as it is a quick drive down to the restaurant. The location is also very convenient. It’s far enough from the town to feel like you are in the jungle but also close enough for a quick uber ride to the main town. It’s also walking distance to La fortuna waterfall. Another perk was that with our stay it included entrance to the Místico hanging bridges. Very beautiful stay, we loved it and would stay here again. They also let us know they are making additions to the property for the future with new pool and more rooms.

We had a wonderful time in La Fortuna. This was our second stay. We stayed with a large group of family. The lodge was accommodating and helpful. The breakfast was in a small restaurant close to the lodge. The gentlemen that ran the restaurant were wonderful cooks and we were pleased with our complimentary breakfast each day. The surroundings were clean and well kept, and the house itself was also immaculate and comfortable. The only thing is that I wish there were a few more blankets. We all got very cold during the rainy evenings. Otherwise, 5 star!!!

This hotel is in the rain forest. The staff is wonderful. Room was comfortable and clean. Breakfast was great. A review I read when booking talked about bugs. Everything is enclosed and there are screens on everything including a porch with a wonderful hammock. Butterflies flew in when we opened the door our first night, which was actually pretty cool. We learned to open and close the door quickly to limit what came in. It wasn’t a problem.

This was one of the best hotels / resorts we’ve ever stayed in. My family of 4 (13 yr old and 10 yr old) had a private villa to ourselves nestled right in the jungle. The villa had two floors, with the master suite and king size bed on the top level. The kids loved that the first floor even had a loft with its own mattress. The kitchen was well equipped too. Before booking we saw several comments about the humidity; yes, it’s a bit damp and humid but you are in the RAINFOREST. That’s the beauty of it. Saw lots of birds and agoutis, other wildlife. The lodges are just a couple of minutes from the fortuna waterfall, and super accessible to the many hot springs and the volcano trails. One of the best things included is the breakfast; the Gecko restaurant is excellent. Charlie and Scott are wonderful. Delicious food! Also, our booking came with access to the mystic bridges. Overall, this was one of the best values we’ve ever had. Absolutely loved it!!

Property was amazing. Nice secluded piece of the rainforest paradise. Amazing how clean they kept it, and how they were able to keep any critters outside the house (no issues with bugs, etc). Would stay again.
