This hotel was definitely one of the highlights of our trip to Costa Rica. The staff were incredibly nice and would check up with us whenever we ran into them. They were extremely accommodating to our needs and also helped us plan different activities. Overall amazing stay but just keep in mind that walking up the road to the hotel is intense and you should probably have some sort of transportation going up!

Beautiful property with Lake and Volcano views (weather permitting ;) and restaurant (many selections), pool, hot tubs and trails, gym, lobby (with garden and games). Up/down a winding road, we rarely drove after dark. Helpful front desk, especially the gentleman with (grey?) glasses, who connected our young family with a lovely zipline and hot springs experience. Would stay again! Possibly closer to amenities in rainy season.

"Aerenal Lodge is a true gem! Surrounded by breathtaking natural beauty, it's a paradise on earth. The lush greenery, serene atmosphere, and warm hospitality make it a standout destination. So far, it's been my best stay among all my vacations - a perfect blend of relaxation and rejuvenation. The attention to detail, comfort, and amenities are top-notch. I feel grateful to have experienced this little slice of heaven. If you're looking for a tranquil retreat, look no further than Aerenal Lodge - it's a nature lover's dream come true!

We loved the trails, restaurant and most definitely the chalet. The window view of the volcano was incredible. No one told us we needed a ticket fir check-out. The gentleman at the gate, only do his job, refused to let us leave. It was 545 in the morning. No one was available to tell him to let us out. I ended up getting mad and he let us go. It was sad that our goodbye was like that. The front desk should have told us. Poor guy was just doing his job.

The thing that is unique about this property is it's view of Volcan Arenal. I first visited Arenal Lodge approx 16 years ago. My last visit prior to yesterday was 14 years ago. Upon my arrival at the front gate yesterday yesterday, I was looked at and then "ignored" by the gate guard as he turned his back to me for couple minutes without saying anything. I didn't know if I was supposed to get out of my car or not. He finally turned around and asked me to verify my name. I then began my trip up the winding road to the lodge and after 15 min or so I realized that I did not remember how long the drive into the lodge was. And the road was incredibly poor with holes and dislodged cobble stones. I was thinking how easy it would be for my rental car to become damaged in some manner because of the condition of the road. I honestly felt like I should have been in a jeep or a truck. There was only one other patron there on the day of my stay and they were put in the "same" chalet as I was which eliminated the privacy that I could have experienced. The rest of the staff was polite and helpful for the most part. Breakfast in the morning was marginal but suitable. For what I was charged for a night's stay after the issues that I experienced really diminished the wonderful memories that I have thought about in the past 14 years since my previous visits.

If you’re looking to be in nature this is the right place to be. You can definitely enjoy the fresh air a good walk in the morning with the sound of the birds. Enjoy a good swim in the pool with a breathtaking view of the volcano. The staff is very nice.

It was remote with beautiful grounds. Horseback riding onsite was a highlight of our vacation. Friendly staff and good included breakfast. A bumpy, twisty 15-minute drive to leave the property so we only went in and out once a day.

The staff at the hotel was very friendly, and the food was excellent. We really enjoyed the Casado with chicken, one of the local dishes. The beef meals were also very good. Desserts, the coconut flan and brownie with ice cream, were fantastic. Exceptional view of the volcano and there are tons of birds on property. We really enjoyed seeing them when eating and around the pool. Rooms were clean with air conditioning, and lots of amenities.

The lodge is in on the mountain, so be prepared for a 2 km drive up to the lodge on rough road. It is 35 min from Fortuna Town, so account for additional time. The room itself was very good and views from the lodge are stunning. Breakfast was ok for vegetarians. Overall a good hotel, nice pool and jacuzzi.

The lodge itself is beautifully placed amidst the cloud forests of Arenal. Lovely views from the top and all over the well maintained property. Very pristine and spiritual feeling. Staff was very courteous and welcoming, the restaurant has great views over their infinite pool. Even though we only had one night stay, a walk around the whole property gave a very good feeling of being in a forest. If you want great views from the top of the mountain choose Chalet rooms, we had a family room which was two bedrooms setup and living room. I would have given 5 star, it’s an 4 star only because of the access road which could be better maintained and paved, it will make it so much easier to reach there. But then many roads in Costa Rica are known for giving you the CR massage and the country is going thru a huge construction boom. Overall great stay !

We stayed in the older part of the hotel and while the view was amazing, the walls were paper thin. You could hear complete conversations of the parties in the other rooms as well as any additional noises. The property is very close to Hanging Bridges Park and is within 20 minutes of any other food or items you may need.

The distance from main entrance to lobby / reception area was quite far and the road was steep and hilly (took almost 10-15 minutes drive to reach the reception area from the main entrance) . Hotel should have shuttle service for the guests . Not wheel chair accessible. Breakfast portion size was very small and .

The drive up to the hotel was long, narrow, curvy, and unpaved. The drive from the main road up to the hotel takes at least 5 minutes so the benefit is that you are secluded and it is very peaceful but it’s a bit out there. Check in was super easy and the restaurant on site is ok. There are a few hiking trails connected to the property which I thought was pretty cool! The views from the hotel are stunning of the volcano.

Wonderful nature all around but the property itself is quite run down. All the rooms need excessive renovation and new furniture as the old sofas are pretty disgusting and are getting eaten by some sort of bugs already. The staff is nice and welcoming. The restaurant is sub-par, I recommend having dinner some place else around La Fortuna.
