Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Tifakara Boutique Hotel is located just outside Arenal Volcano National Park in Fortuna where you can enjoy stunning volcanic views. Free WiFi access is available in this hotel. The hotel is like an oasis for the wildlife, we had a night forest walk on the first night where we saw all the mammals of Costa Rica live, breakfast is nice and classy a la carte - fruit and eggs (seeme there is no "all you can eat" buffet breakfast that popular in Costa Rica). We had a room in main building orverlooking the pool, bubble bathes and volcano. The hotel garden is really nice, botanical garden where you can meet frogs, snakes, birds Hotel staff is espacially nice and helping, making really good vibe for the hotel

Lost Iguana Resort and Spa offers an outdoor pool, a gym and lush gardens with a maze. Each room has views of the Arenal Volcano, located just a 25-minute drive away.

Rooms at the Lost Iguana feature air conditioning, free Wi-Fi and a furnished balcony. All rooms offer a safe, a coffee machine and an en suite bathroom with free toiletries. This was a divine place to stay. The resort is split into several houses with rooms on ground level and first floor. The rooms on the first floor have high wooden ceilings. The AC is very good and silent. WIFI is also fine. The view from the balcony is breathtaking. You live on a hillside opposite to the volcano and have the volcano in full view. The view changes all the time due to the weather. You can spend hours on the balcony. This is proper rain forrest and it rains daily. Half the experience of living here is walking the hotel grounds either by day or in the evenings carrying a flashlight. There are all kinds of critters to see. There are many trails to explore. There are always hummingbirds buzzing around and toucans visit from time to time. After a week you will know the different birds by their calls. We visited in late august and can highly recommend coming in the rainy season. Everything is green and fresh and there are flowers everywhere. You also avoid the crowds. The hotel was only about 20% booked which gives the visit a very private and exclusive touch. The nearby Mistico park was also not overrun. The same goes for the volcano trails. You pay by credit card everywhere. You can let all tours and extra costs go to the room and just pay a total at the end of the stay. Just bring cash for tips. We came for nature experiences and didn't use the pool, bar or the spa. We can recommend the Caño Negro and the Coffee & Cocoa tours.

Surrounded by 300 acres of lush rainforest, Chachagua Rainforest Hotel offers charming accommodation and an outdoor swimming pool. This resort has a beautiful setting outside Chachagua and 15 km from La Fortuna city center and 32 km from Arenal Volcano. Absolutely clean! The complimentary hotel tour around property with David was better than some paid tours we booked outside of hotel. He spotted camaflouged howler monkeys right outside front desk area. His telescope came in very handy. He took us to the farm to make refreshing sugar cane water. Very nice surprise

Located in Fortuna, 200 metres from La Fortuna Waterfall, Chato Arenal Lodge provides accommodation with a garden, free private parking, a terrace and a restaurant. Featuring a bar, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with free WiFi, each with a private bathroom. The accommodation features room service, a tour desk and currency exchange for guests. Chato Arenal Lodge has a nice breakfast with fresh fruits and an amazing view from the restaurant. The room was super clean and the beds were very comfortable, I loved that the hotel is at a walking distance from La Fortuna waterfalls and a five minutes drive from the downtown where you can have access to restaurants, cafes and the hot springs. All the staff were very friendly and helpful, Esteban was very helpful and shared with me some beautiful location that I can visit. I highly recommend this place and will definitely be staying at Chato Arenal on my next visit to Costa Rica.
