Gli ospiti notano camere confortevoli ma essenziali e alcuni compromessi, come l'assenza di aria condizionata, strade di accesso accidentate e un rapporto qualità-prezzo variabile per quanto riguarda la ristorazione.
Molti apprezzano le passeggiate guidate in loco, i punti di osservazione e la torre panoramica, la cascata e i numerosi sentieri ideali per il birdwatching e le escursioni facili. Le camere variano da semplici a spaziose, con viste mozzafiato sul vulcano o sul lago; aspettatevi una connessione Wi-Fi limitata, soffitti parzialmente aperti in alcune unità, occasionali rumori e servizi come l'assenza di TV o frigorifero. La colazione è universalmente apprezzata, mentre la cena riceve pareri contrastanti per quanto riguarda il prezzo e la varietà, e la posizione isolata significa che la maggior parte degli ospiti cena presso l'hotel. Aspettatevi un soggiorno incentrato sulla natura, senza fronzoli, con viste indimenticabili.

Wonderful stay at Arenal Observatory Lodge. Our only disappointment was not being able to see the volcano in its entirety due to stubborn low hanging clouds. It’s a beautiful property with lots to see for nature lovers and bird watchers. Bring rain gear even if it is supposed to he the dry season. Don't miss The Nest tower.

Yes, Volcano park entrance is nearby. But there is no need for a national park as you have a front stage view of the volcano, 11 km of trails, access to guides, a waterfall, hanging bridges, and wildlife! We only needed to leave to access the hot springs. Otherwise this is paradise! tours

Loved the Arenal Volcano Lodge! Feels similar to staying in the National Park lodges in Yellowstone or Glacier. Although it is a bit of a drive, it is much less touristy than La Fortuna hotels. Extensive grounds with lots of wildlife and birds, observation tower, nature walks with knowledgeable guide etc. Rooms were very nice with balcony. Dining was quite good which was important give the distance to other restaurants. Staff was very professional and friendly. Highly recommend!

You're surrounded by stunning views and beautiful animals. The trails on the grounds provide a variety of difficulty and experiences. The rooms are huge, though lack of AC and bugs getting through screens can be a minor issue. The staff is very friendly and helpful. Bring a good camera and binoculars because you'll be enjoying the views a great deal. Also, the pool and jet tub were relaxing and enjoyable. The spa was wonderful and affordable.

Absolutely wonderful place to stay in the Arenal Volcano area. We were there for five nights and enjoyed seeing many species of birds both from their large observation deck and on the birding walk with Nestor and the Nature walks with Christian. The view of the volcano and lovely Arenal Lake is magnificent! Also saw several cute and friendly coatis and a spider monkey mama cuddling her baby up in the trees. The staff, though, is the BEST part of staying here! They are all friendly, attentive and accommodating to your wishes or needs. Can't say enough good things about this aspect of the hotel! Muchas gracias por la Pura Vida!!!

Magical! The hiking trails, wildlife, breakfasts, and staff made this lodge extraordinary. Waking up to volcano views and amazing birds was so special. While it is a little off the beaten path, it is well worth the extra few minutes.

3 night stay Und of February with 2 adults and 3 boys under 12. This place was a Peacful & Serine Jungle Stay. This property exceededed expectations. From gaming rooms, pool, hot tub, dining. Walk right out to the trails with a short drive to Lafortuna. We Hiked, did horseback riding, ziplines and swam waterfalls. We do recommend rental car. Down side is there is No AC but evening are cool in the jungel and a ceiling fan helps. Also no mini fridge or ice machines we had to get it from the dining facility. This place is well kept with a natural feel. Definitely recommend.

Beautiful property! They need to advertise more as we would have stayed an additional night. We weren't aware of free guided hikes, spa (with great prices!), etc. Views are amazing!

Absolutely beautiful property with tons to do within the property. Well maintained trails perfect for beginners. The staff was very professional and pleasant. Free activities in the lodge were great, especially the guided hike with their very knowledgeable guide. Beautiful surrounding towns. The free breakfast at the restaurant on site was very good. Lunch and dinner on site were expensive so we drove about 10-15 minutes off property and there were tons of options. We booked an economy room in the casona with a shared restroom and it was lovely. Will definitely return.

Emplacement unique dans le parc national, avec des oiseaux à multitude, et des sentiers de marche nombreux et faciles. La meilleure vue sur le volcan Arenal. Visites guidées excellentes. Avons vu des petites grenouilles, des serpent, un armadillo, des coatis, etc. Piscine excellente. Chambres super. Bon restaurant. Un bain de nature exceptionnel.

This hotel is beautiful and the location makes you feel like you are living in a rainforest. The free breakfast was a nice touch each morning. The dining room was large and the dining staff was very friendly. We booked a room with a balcony and that was so relaxing!!! The rooms were very nice and the bathrooms were very clean. The only drawback was the back roads getting to this hotel. The potholes were a nightmare!!!

Simple but had an entire glass wall overlooking the most stunning view . There were a few things that we didn’t like . No refrigerator and the door didn’t properly close and bugs got in several times mainly spiders .

The view was beautiful and there are very fun activities to do inside the property. The upside down is that the rooms don’t have refrigerator and air conditioning, fortunately we stayed only one night and it wasn’t too hot that night. Also the shower drain was clogged. The service at the lobby was just ok. They can do better. The food at the restaurant was good and the service at the restaurant also very good.

This place was beautiful. We stayed in the main house with shared bathrooms. Everything was clean, and the views were amazing. The lodge has a really great restaurant, and breakfast is included. We were slightly concerned about not having A/C, but the nights and mornings were cool enough. We would definitely stay here again. The drive up here was long, but worth it. I was expecting it to be closer to La Fortuna, and was surprised it was about 20 minutes away.

The location is amazing. We saw so much wildlife and lots of great hiking trails including waterfalls. We loved the frog pond. We went at night and heard all the croaking and saw lots of frogs including a few red eye tree frogs. The free tour they provide guests in the mornings was awesome. The only thing my family didn’t like was no AC in the rooms. The restaurant provided great free breakfast. We ate at the same place for dinner and found it was way overpriced and not great quality. Overall the stay was great and we would recommend it.

Amazing views of the now inactive volcano, with plenty of easy hiking routes around your room, since the hotel is situated within the national park. A birder’s paradise, with a small museum about the volcano and the history of the area. We had a birding tour booked through the hotel with Raúl Obregón, whom we highly, highly recommend! Raúl is passionate about birds, knows their habits, and will share his passion with you. The room is comfortable, though not luxurious. WiFi is only available on/next to the balcony and in common areas. Be aware that to maximize ventilation the area near the ceiling is only screened, so you can hear everyone in the rooms around you. But the trade off of being immersed in nature is worth it. The onsite restaurant serves pretty good food, although for variety you may want to leave a few times during your stay. Be aware that the road up to the hotel does wash out, so you may be in for a rough (but short) ride up from the main road until you reach the entrance gate.

Our stay at Arenal Observatory Lodge was incredible! The staff was so friendly, attentive, and helpful. Our room was perfect for a friend trip - it was large and comfortable, with plenty of space to put our things. The private patio was incredible - we woke up to birdsong, howler monkeys, and hummingbirds flitting around every morning. I was a little concerned about the lack of air conditioning, but the ceiling fan made staying cool at night a breeze. It was wonderful to be able to walk out of our room and immediately hit the trails, head to the main reception area to enjoy a delicious cup of coffee and watch the birds and monkeys, or go swim in the pool. Of all the places we stayed during our 10 day trip, this was our favorite by far!

So the trails and park are beautiful and really well maintained and walkable. The place is worth it for that but do not eat there. The food was truly awful. The desk service was also not great, we had a broken window the whole stay and the staff never did anything about it and did not appear to care at all when we told them. Said they would fix it next day but never did anything, we mentioned it again next day still nothing. We stayed in the casonas which are rooms with shared bathrooms, they were not bad but be warned there is no A/C and no mini fridge so dont bring stuff that can melt (sad for those doing chocolate tours) and they give you one bath mat for each bathroom each day so if its been used it kind of bummer. Otherwise they were clean and comfortable. Wish they had better rooms for the price but again trails and views of wildlife are incredible and unparalleled. Perhaps just get the day pass and skip the hotel if you wanna visit.

The desk service was also not great, we had a broken window the whole stay and the staff never did anything about it and did not appear to care at all when we told them. Said they would fix it next day but never did anything, we mentioned it again next day still nothing. We stayed in the casonas which are rooms with shared bathrooms, they were not bad but be warned there is no A/C and no mini fridge so dont bring stuff that can melt (sad for those doing chocolate tours) and they give you one bath mat for each bathroom each day so if its been used it kind of bummer. Otherwise they were clean and comfortable. Wish they had better rooms for the price but again trails and views of wildlife are incredible and unparalleled. Perhaps just get the day pass and skip the hotel if you wanna visit.

The biggest asset to this property is its location within Arenal National Park. The lodge is truly at the foot of Arenal volcano. There was lots of wildlife to be seen on the AOL property including birds, some mammals and frogs. Complimentary breakfast met everyone’s needs. Lunch and dinner at the lodge are expensive. The property is pretty far from La Fortuna (20 min?) and the road is rough for part of the drive, so you won’t want to zip in and out. We planned to be gone for the day when we left. Front desk staff was great and happy to help arrange tours or outings at no cost.

The first thing you notice at Arenal Observatory Lodge is the spectacular grounds! There are many opportunities for gentle walks and hikes on the property. The staff was extremely friendly and helpful. The rooms had everything we needed but were basic, not luxurious.

We had the most amazing stay, the whole place is absolutely stunning, you can do a much or as little as you like, the walking trails are full of wildlife, the huge hot tub is fab as is the pool, our room was immaculate and huge and the dining area was really good also, but for me it was the staff, they we're all fantastic, nothing was to much trouble (especially the restaurant staff 👌)..this truly is a stunning property so relaxing to sit and watch the humming birds from our terrace, thank you AOL we will be back!!!

Our two-day retreat at Arenal Observatory Lodge was nothing short of magical. Nestled amidst the lush rainforest, the lodge offers an unparalleled connection to nature. Waking up to a symphony of birds and the breathtaking view of the volcano was a rejuvenating experience for the soul. The abundance of birdlife and plant species made every moment a discovery. The well-maintained trails and observation decks provided serene spots to immerse ourselves in the natural beauty surrounding us. On our final evening, we dined at the lodge’s restaurant, El Jilguero. The meal was exquisite! From starters to desserts, compliments to the chef. What truly set our experience apart was the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Their genuine hospitality made us feel welcomed and cared for throughout our visit. Arenal Observatory Lodge isn’t just a place to stay; it’s a sanctuary that nourishes the spirit and reconnects you with nature. We left feeling refreshed, inspired, and eager to return.

Wonderful place, up close to volcano, beautiful grounds, flowers and birds everywhere. Pictures don't do it justice. Staff all extremely helpful, we had a flat tire the last day of our trip and had a flight to catch - one staff member took us to an air pump on site, but then we discovered the nail in the tire, so another staff member helped us put on the spare and we managed to make our flight! So very grateful! Food delicious at the restaurant as well. Hope to come back here some day.

Staff were very knowledgeable about flora and fauna in park. Hotel policies were Eco-friendly. Decor in room and hotel was pleasant; blends well with forest. Many improved walking trails on grounds. Museum provided natural history of area and people. High diversity of birds, great for bird-watchers. Highly recommend and would stay again.

An amazing hidden gem! We almost gave up driving to this hotel due to the road conditions. But we are so glad we didn’t. Amazing trails, waterfall and breathtaking views of Arenal Volcano! Great dining experience for dinner. Prices are on par with US. Free breakfast was also amazing. Front desk personnel could be friendlier but maybe Carlos was having a rough day. He is probably better suited for a non customer facing role.

Posizione
Spettacolare e isolata posizione ai piedi del vulcano Arenal e all'interno o nelle vicinanze del parco nazionale, ideale per l'osservazione della fauna selvatica. L'hotel dista 20-25 minuti in auto da La Fortuna attraverso una strada accidentata e parzialmente sterrata, quindi gli ospiti spesso pianificano giornate intere e cenano in loco.

The location of this property and the trails and overall maintenance and view of the Arenal Volcano. However the last 5-6 km from main road to this lodge needs to be paved. Its difficult to drive and specially in the night.

If you are in Costa Rica to be close to nature, Arenal Observatory Lodge is the place to be. The views of the volcano are unbeatable and the massive grounds are teaming with wildlife--birds, coati, monkeys, reptiles. The many on-site trails are beautiful and well kept, and the optional guided tours are great. We did a guided night tour and were amazed by the wildlife we saw, all of which we never would have noticed without the guide. We ate at the restaurant for many of our meals and enjoyed everything, and the staff is extremely friendly. As with many places in Costa Rica, there was no air conditioning in the rooms, but this was not a problem for us in late April/early May and the fan did the trick. I'll miss this place! (PS, don't be alarmed by the long dirt road on the drive in, the end result is worth it.)

It has a spectacular view. The grounds are gorgeous. The staff very friendly. Food very good. And the view!! Lovely walking trails and activities. We will be back! The only problem is that it is remote on a mountain. If you have a car, no problem. If you need transportation to La Fortuna it gets pricey.

My family and I loved the grounds- specifically picked this hotel for its natural surroundings. Beautiful property and large, so great for hiking. It is a bit more remote though and there is only one hotel restaurant but it was very good- it was just a bit pricey. We did not leave the hotel after it got dark (6pm) because the road conditions are not that great so our only real choice for dinner was at the hotel. Overall still an excellent stay.

A friend and I stayed here for a week on a birding trip to Costa Rica. We found most aspects of AOL to be good, but we really disliked our restaurant experience. I have food allergies and gave the staff a translated card explaining what I can and cannot eat. This approach worked well in every other place we stayed, but not at AOL. I was provided with a meal that I was told the next night was not appropriate for my diet. So why did they give me that meal the first night? The exact same thing happened another night. On yet another day I ordered hummus with gluten free bread, only to find that the bread was still frozen. And yet again on another day, I ordered hummus with gluten free bread, only to discover that the bread on my plate was not gluten free. For an establishment that advertises their high quality restaurant and high prices, this is just not acceptable. As you can imagine, by the time I left after a week, I was quite ill.

The location is amazing. We saw so much wildlife and lots of great hiking trails including waterfalls. We loved the frog pond. We went at night and heard all the croaking and saw lots of frogs including a few red eye tree frogs. The free tour they provide guests in the mornings was awesome. The only thing my family didn’t like was no AC in the rooms. The restaurant provided great free breakfast. We ate at the same place for dinner and found it was way overpriced and not great quality. Overall the stay was great and we would recommend it.

We ended up having dinner 2 nights at the hotel and those were excellent as well. Very helpful staff that go above and beyond, Sergio was very helpful with his recommendations and directions. Lots of hummingbirds and wildlife that you can experience from your room. No AC but the ceiling fan was sufficient to keep up feeling comfortable. Would love to go again.

The location is great in the heart of the forest with trails all around. We booked a Standard Room which was located a short but steep walk away from the main building. The room was clean and a good size. The large terrace had a view of the lake but far better was the hummingbird that lived in the bush right in front and the coati roaming around the garden. Wildlife is everywhere here. We enjoyed a free guided day tour and a guided night tour. We saw an anteater, howler monkeys, bespectacled owls, frogs, snakes and all sorts of birds. The only thing that let this hotel down was the food. The staff in the restaurant but the food itself was not great and dinner options were very limited.

We absolutely LOVED our stay at the Lodge! Not only was the view amazing from every angle including our balcony, but also the service was OUTSTANDING! Everyone was so kind. And the restaurant food was to die for!! Best filet mignon I've ever had - not kidding! Mr. Howard at the restaurant was also wonderful, as well as the waiters, including Enrique. What a lovely experience. We'll definitely be staying there when we visit CR again without a doubt!!

Absolutely beautiful property with tons to do within the property. Well maintained trails perfect for beginners. The staff was very professional and pleasant. Free activities in the lodge were great, especially the guided hike with their very knowledgeable guide. Beautiful surrounding towns. The free breakfast at the restaurant on site was very good. Lunch and dinner on site were expensive so we drove about 10-15 minutes off property and there were tons of options. We booked an economy room in the casona with a shared restroom and it was lovely. Will definitely return.

Wonderful stay!! We enjoyed staying at the Arenal Observatory & Lodge very much while in LaFortuna. We were greeted on arrival by a family of coatimundi, as well as a couple of monkeys. The staff in reception is just fantastic, and the welcome greeting and cocktail were very much appreciated. We rented Phil’s Villa for the night and it was perfectly clean and comfortable. We sat on the back patio most of the evening enjoying the views of the volcano and the animals in the garden. Saw toucans just above our room. The hot tub/Jacuzzi was a fabulous way to rejuvenate after a flight and a drive to LaFortuna. Would definitely stay at Phil’s Villa again! The grounds of the lodge are fantastically well-kept and so lovely!! We walked a short ways and found more critters around here and there, and enjoyed exploring the waterfall and more. Fernando was a fabulous and helpful host and made certain that we were well cared for. Such a pleasant and charming guy. We enjoyed his company. Our only complaint about the entire experience would be the restaurant at the reception area. All three travelers in our party agreed that the food DEF shows a need for improvement. We would love to see a better menu and better preparation next time. After dinner was so disappointing, we didn’t bother to have the free breakfast the next morning. We didn’t have time to check out the spa, unfortunately, but the staff made our visit relaxing. Lovely people, made our stay such a pleasant endeavor!

This was one of our favorite stays. The grounds are stunning, and all of the staff were incredibly friendly, helpful and kind. Fernando was our favorite, picking us up whenever needed, and even rescinding us one afternoon when we were stranded in El Castillo. The food was great, we absolutely loved the night walk and our guide, and having the pool and hot tub after a day of adventures was fantastic. We will definitely be back!

We had a magical stay - make sure you leave time to do the on-site tours and hikes. We saw as much in property (morning, afternoon, and evening tours) as we did in official parks. We joked that our balcony view was the best wide screen tv. I would come back to the area, just for this hotel.
