Suwa Villa Arenal

A bedroom with a large bed, wooden ceiling, and a view of greenery through a sliding door.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: Suwa Villa Arenal is one of the best places at which I have stayed! We had four guests and stayed for four nights in mid-March. Beautiful rooms with an outdoor patio and chairs, and A/C. Very clean and fully stocked communal kitchen, with a super cute and lush lounge area on the side. There are laundry machines available to use, with 2 free detergent pods provided. There was also a mini jacuzzi (temporarily cold water when we visited), and a fireplace for hanging out outside at night. Parking is..., by Megan, March 22, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: La Fortuna
Review: Went here for our honeymoon after getting married on the beach. This provided the perfect intimate, secluded, and romantic setting we both have ever experienced. I can't say enough about the staff and the personal touch that awaits every part of Nayara Springs. We stayed in a Villa with the private plunge pool and outdoor showers, please, do yourself a favor and experience the villa!!!

La Fortuna Lodge by Treebu Hotels

A hotel room with a bed, a TV, a ceiling fan, a window with a view of a mountain, and a balcony with a chair.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: The Staff here are AMAZING! We stayed for only one night before returning to SJO airport. We needed assistance with transportation and the staff here bent over backwards to make calls and help us. This property is clean and has a nice breakfast. The ONLY negative I would give it - the noise. If you cannot sleep with earplugs, you may want to look elsewhere. Otherwise, you cannot go wrong booking La Fortuna Lodge., by Anonymous traveler, February 7, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Guest rating: 9.6/10 (1657 reviews)
Review: My stay at Los Lagos could not have been anymore magical! The resort is beautiful, so many hidden places to explore. I saw so many birds, lizards, wild boars and other critters during my walks. Loved spending my mornings drinking coffee on my rooms balcony, hearing the jungle slowly wake up Every single person working at the hotel from the wait staff to housekeeping were nothing short of amazing and attentive.

Fortuna Retreat

A modern resort with a swimming pool, two-story buildings, and lush landscaping.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: We stayed here for 4 nights. It was very nice and comfortable with a beautiful view of the volcano when the clouds weren’t low. It was close to many things we did in the area. The staff was very friendly and helpful. Place is just as shown in pictures. Retreat is gated. The breakfast that is available down the road has 3 options with fresh delicious fruit. Also provides a grab and go sandwich if you are leaving before they open you just need to pick it up the night before. We would definitely..., by William, March 26, 2025, rated 10/10 Excellent

A lush garden with tropical plants and a mountain in the background.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: We cannot say enough about Hotel El Silencio Del Campo! First, the people who work here are excellent. They were very helpful, positive and clearly cared about our experience. I had my birthday while we stayed there and they helped my husband purchase flowers and a cake. The woman who cleaned our room made an adorable figure out of the towels. The front desk folks also helped us make a reservation at Travesia (which I highly recommend). When we asked for recommendations for pizza take out..., by Melissa P, August 25, 2023, rated 10/10 Excellent

Noah's Forest by Tifakara

A resort with multiple buildings, a central paved area, and a mountain in the background.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: Staff was very friendly and knowledgeable. They helped set up telescopes so we could see the birds and sloths in the trees. Hot tub outside our room was a nice touch. Rooms were large and comfortable. Only downsides were there really isn’t a bar or place to have evening drinks. Also the cost of bottled water was ridiculous ($30 for two bottles of Fiji water)., by Eve, November 23, 2024, rated 10/10 Excellent

Review: Nayara is a very luxurious place to stay! From the moment we arrived with the valet opening our car doors and welcoming us, the welcome drinks, the very personal introduction to Nayara and all it offers, the private tour of the entire resort, and then taking us to our villas and showing us around each of them....we KNEW we chose the right place to stay for our visit to this area of Costa Rica! We had two villas. One for our two sons (16 & 13) and one for us. My husband and I were in a suite..., by Pamela, July 13, 2016, rated 10/10 Excellent

Location: Monterrey
Review: This resort far exceeded my expectations. Even though it was low season, and the resort appeared to be almost empty of guests, it felt fully staffed and the service was excellent in every respect. The tour around the resort when you first arrive is great. We were shown the property by Tony Castro. He was friendly and knowledgeable. He showed us all the facilities and gave us great tips regarding dining options in town. I also recommend the staff at the concierge desk. They gave us really good..., by Cairo, November 9, 2022, rated 10/10 Excellent

Hotel Rancho Cerro Azul

A wooden hot tub surrounded by rocks and tropical plants under a tiled roof.

Location: La Fortuna
Review: This place is great There is nature all around. I very much enjoyed swinging in the hammock looking at nature. It is about a 30 minute walk to City center, but there are a few restaurants within 10 minutes. There is also a grocery store two minutes away There is an adventurous "river walk" on property that we enjoyed. The few cons were the breakfast wasn't the greatest for the price.
