Onca Tours & Treehouses, hotel in San Rafael

Featuring mountain views, Onca Tours & Treehouses in San Rafael features accommodation, a garden, a terrace and a restaurant. The lodge features both WiFi and private parking free of charge.

This is a cool place, slightly off the beaten track but well worth the visit. We loved staying in a treehouse, chilling in hammocks and tubing down the beautiful Rio Celeste. Anyone staying here should try it, it’s great fun. A big bonus is the fact that you can eat on site. Breakfast was included in our booking and lunch was provided after the tubing. Food was very good and staff are friendly

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge, hotel in Bijagua

Finca Amistad Cacao Lodge offers 60 hectares of Cocoa farm and guests can enjoy tours, chocolate and bird watching. The accommodation features a seating area.

Our stay was amazing. The chocolate tour was fascinating and I can recommend the chocolate workshop to everyone! Making your own chocolate from scratch was a great experience. The complimentary drinks upon arrival and the free hour in the pool area were also great.

Casa Torre Eco- Lodge, hotel in Fortuna

Featuring mountain views, Casa Torre Eco- Lodge in Fortuna features accommodation, a garden, a terrace, a restaurant and barbecue facilities.

Casa Torre is an amazing space, up in the hills over looking the volcano. The views are amazing, and you are surrounded by birds including Toucans who visited ever day. There is also a resident sloth living in the trees above the carpark. Initially in a small room with shared bathroom, it was clean and comfortable. They have a quiet period from 9pm-6am so it is quiet at night, but from sunrise you can hear the farm animals nearby and cars driving by. Last night we were in a private cabin with private bathroom and it was an amazing space with private views over the volcano. Common space is also very nice with good internet. My partner was able to work there comfortably for a few days with great views and people. Lastly Jonathan the host was amazing. So friendly and helpful and lifted the mood if everyone when he was around. Highly recommend!

Lumbres Arenal, hotel in Fortuna

Featuring a swimming pool, a garden, a restaurant and views of the mountain, Lumbres Arenal is located in Fortuna and provides accommodation with free WiFi.

Spacious room but quite basic. It’s between La Fortuna town and Arenal so is a lot easier to have a car here. You have to WhatsApp staff as no one really around but they are very responsive and help out with whatever you need when you do.
