I highly recommend La Fortuna Lodge if your staying here. Everyone is so nice and attentive from the front desk to the people that serve breakfast included. They even cleaned our rooms daily and made sure for our specific breakfast and times. And security is top tier . I would definitely stay here again!

This is definitely one of the best hotels we've ever been to! After a day of tours coming back here was like heaven. Bed is comfortable, rooms are spacious, and most importantly the room is very clean. I find myself comparing other hotels to this one. That's how good this place is! :D

My favorite hotel on my first trip to Costa Rica! Staff was very helpful, welcoming and kind. It had a gorgeous view of Volcán Arenal! Cute deck common area with lots of lounging and games. I love how they have free breakfast and a recommendation of local food and adventure items. I would definitely stay there again!

Hotel was clean and facilities were excellent. Functioning A/C, fan, TV and internet. Common areas quiet and inviting and location is convenient to downtown La Fortuna. The breakfast included was also great! The staff made me a turtle out of towels for my birthday alongside balloons, which was above and beyond and very thoughtful.

This was in between a hostel and a high end resort which was exactly what I wanted. Gated and staffed 24/7 with great connection to local food and tours. Room overlooked Arenal and got great pics from my balcony.
You installed both my furnace and AC in the Meadows of Welli

We had a lovely stay at La Fortuna Lodge. The facilities are in very good condition. Staff is very helpful but not overbearing. Daniel at reception was great. The location is close to the main drag but two short blocks away so relatively quiet and very safe. The vibe is totally Pura Vida. We would happily return here.
