Just outside the town of La Fortuna ( you need transportation) is this wooden motel around a small pool and surrounded by green space and great views when it's not cloudy! The staff is kind and the place is clean. It is quite simple though! The rooms and especially the bathrooms are dark. Our bathroom smelled of bleach, which for... More

I went there with my family this last weekend (7), the room was ready at the check in time, big room, not a lot of light but there was a TV, a table and a fridge. The bath room was making this terrible noise when you flush it and the lady on the front office was not very nice when... More

We arrived in the Arenal area w/o reservations. Stopped at another more posh place, "Montana" something, just north of La Fortuna that had no vacancies. An employee made a call and told us he had a friend who had a place. Ignoring all my better instincts, we let him in the car and he directed us to Coloso Arenal where... More

We stayed here because it was the only place available and were very surprised when we met Humberto in the front office. He was most helpful and genuinely nice. He showed us to our room and had some great suggestions to eat. We tried Las Nene's which was pretty good. The hotel offers a buffet breakfest which is normal and... More

I normally do a lot of research when it comes to hotels, but as my recent trip to Costa Rica was a last-minute one, I decided to try something different; I'm so glad I did! We literally stumbled onto this hotel on our way into La Fortuna from the airport. From what I could see, it was the first hotel... More

We loved this little hotel! We stayed in one of the log cabins, which was wonderfully decorated, faced the teeny pool, and sat right under the volcano. The rooms were cleaned, and they created towel sculptures for us. We were also greeted with a free bottle of Champagne for our honeymoon – which was extremely thoughtful. The accommodations themselves were... More
