"Diego is an amazing host! We truly appreciated the welcome and his approachable demeanor. The rooms were very clean and comfortable. We also enjoyed the breakfast included and other amenities."

"This was part of an 8 day family trip to Costa Rica. We had 2 bedrooms- ideal for 2 teens and plenty of space to spread out. Cute place, convenient kitchen, super friendly and helpful staff! We were about 2 miles from the 'main' part of Fortuna, but an easy walk (less than 1/2 mile) from a mini part with several excellent restaurants (we ate at both red frog restaurants and the Caribbean one - plus picked up supplies from the grocery store and used same day laundry the day we left). We literally didn't use any cleaning service, but we had easy access to making some of our own food, visited the pools several times (chilly- but you could really hear the howler monkeys well) and spent some time on our front porch- typically petting the 2 hotel cats. Quiet and safe at night, next to a coffee/ chocolate tour (we didn't tour but started our daily coffee journey here), just down the street from a place who also had breakfast (and fruit out to draw beautiful birds), an amazing night tour and a phenomenal butterfly dome. Location was key without a car - and this place allowed us quiet and privacy along with easy access to other places. Washer was a big help- but dry time in rainy season is a challenge so be aware! Water pressure awesome (don't take that for granted! Very ecologically aware in their practices. Definite odor of mildew - but I don't know how you can avoid it in that climate. We'd stay again in a minute! Tx to all who posted earlier helpful reviews!"

"Our room was very clean upon our arrival. The service that Katherine and Maria provided at front desk was fantastic. Staff in the restaurant were friendly, and attentive. The secure parking was convenient and reassuring. Loads of amenities for sports enthusiasts or those that just want to relax. Many different bird species on the site as well as some monkeys!"

"Staff was very helpful. Gorgeous setting. Loved our stay!"

"I doubt you can find a better view of the Arenal Volcano than at Arenal Observatory Lodge, plus the property is gorgeous and filled with wildlife (so many birds and a troop of monkeys swung by one evening). This isn't a fancy place — more old school — but if you're looking for a peaceful space to reset and experience nature, it's perfect. We'd stay here again."
