3 of 5 stars Reviewed 9 February 2012 NEW

As part of a tour group, we had a cabin, with a porch, on the front row overlooking the volcano. That was good, but the cabins were substandard. It appears that there are newer, and perhaps more spacious and nicer units on the property. From reading the reviews, we expected more. The room was small, the building was old and... More

Highly recommended in tour guide books but a bit disappointing. The room was a bit tired, small things like holes in the screens meant some bugs through the night and the beds were somewhat uncomfortable. Would try another resort the next time in town. More

We spent 5 nights there touring thr Arenal area. The location was great and the room was nice, but that's about it. The pool and spa area needed a lot of work and nobody used them. The restaurant was good, but pricey. We ate there 1 night and went in to La Fortuna to eat the other nights. There's nothing... More

Stayed here 2 nights and loved it. Stayed in room #234 and had a great view of the volcano. Woke up to the birds chirping and the birders birding. That was ok because I grabbed my binoculars and joined them. Cabins are rustic but have what you need. Sat out on enclosed patio and had my coffee and watched the... More

My mom and I did not stay in the hotel, we only did a canopy tour (ziplining) operated by the hotel (their tour side is called "GoAdventure Park"). I had just done a canopy tour in Monte Verde a few weeks before, which was still great despite the pouring rain, so this one had a lot to live up to.... More

This is a great hotel in the perfect spot! It's just outside of town where it's a bit quieter and makes it feel like you're more in the middle of the jungle. The rooms were awesome! I'd suggest spending a couple dollars more and getting the junior suite with a jacuzzi in the room. Your aching body might need it... More

The service at the hotel was simply not helpful; from not providing linens and towels to not being able to answer basic tourists' questions. The breakfast provided is basic but nice. We had issues with our pullout sofa which was unusable. The mattress was bent, dirty and shredded. The hotel seems to gear itself toward large groups. The hotel looks... More

I recently visited Costa Rica with mom. It was a package deal and we had only 3 nights at Montana de Fuego, but it was our favorite 3 nights of the 7 night trip and we absolutely loved it! The views were magnificent, the people were extremely hospitable and friendly, the breakfast buffet was fantastic, and the pool/jacuzzi/spa were great!... More
