“120% satisfaction”

This is a hotel nested in a large tropical garden, it is so beautiful and relaxing; we hated to leave. The food is exceptional and the price competitive. The chef must be well known in the area, we saw outside guests came to eat by the busload. The hotel staffs are all so nice and attentive, they took care of us good. We're already planning to come back next year.

“Great Stay - Great Value!”

The volcano lodge is close to town and close to the volcano viewing area. The grounds are beautiful with blooming flowers and trees everywhere! The free breakfast was fantastic and dinner was delicious. The rooms were big, clean, and the beds comfy. They even have a back porch, which is great for viewing birds, monkeys, etc. Overall and great stay and will be back.

“Fabulous Volcano Views in La Fortuna, Costa Rica”

The Volcano Lodge & Gardens (VL&G) was a delightful discovery during our trip to Costa Rica. We wanted to visit el Volcán Arenal in La Fortuna, and the VL&G promised spectacular views of the area for an incredible price. They delivered on their promises and so much more! The grounds are a gorgeous tropical garden of native plants and flowers that weave through and connect the rooms with the public areas. The restaurant (Surá) has superb dishes and even better service at extremely reasonable prices, especially for such a nice resort hotel. The concierge service at the reception desk put us in contact with high-quality tours and excursions of every sort. We only had to show up at the appointed hour and then set off for one amazing experience after another that really got us "in touch" with Costa Rica. There are two swimming pool areas that are beautifully kept and very inviting, and the rooms themselves are spacious and like a little piece of home away from home. The king-size bed in our room was hands down the most comfortable bed I've ever slept on while traveling (which I do quite often). It was a great way to finish our fun days to come back to our room and doze off in the comfy bed. DON"T pay too much for other hotels in the area when you can have everything you could want at the Volcano Lodge & Gardens!

“Whimsical towel animals!”

This lodge is a beautiful and well-maintained property, with wonderful service, a great breakfast, and towels folded into whimsical animals! One day, they were folded to resemble swans, and another day several towels together were folded to resemble an elephant walking through a field of orchids. I would go back.

“Volcano Lodge”

Fantastic property. Great service. Great country. Great vacation.

“Beautiful!”

I can't compliment Volcano Lodge enough! The grounds were impeccably beautiful and I took enough photos of the gorgeous flowers to fill a scrapbook! No complaints at all and the icing on the cake was someone dropped that big ole' Volcano right in front of our back patio!!

“Cute lodge, nice people”

This was a pleasant surprise - the staff and facilities were very nice. The hotel grounds & foliage were neat, and convenient. The volcano (typical) was enshrouded in fog - but we still enjoyed very much.

“Excellent hotel”

Perfect hotel for a relaxing weekend.

“Fun in Arenal!”

This hotel was a great value! The workers were all amazing and so friendly and helpful! The breakfast was delicious. They had a great pool to use. Overall, great experience, we would definitely return!

“Breathtaking Gardens, Exotic Birds, Beautiful Grounds”

I was almost taken aback at just how lovely this place was. The gardens were just amazing and the rooms were also very, very nice. The staff was extremely helpful and polite. They have a fantastic little trail around the back/side of the grounds. Bring your field glasses/binoculars! We are newly converted bird nerds and we saw many birds we had not yet seen even having gone to Monteverde. Bring your binoculars! Toucans, Clay-Colored Robins, Kingfishers, Herons, Scarlet/Passerini's Tanager, Cattle Egrets ... and more.
