La Fortuna Spa Hotels

"If you are in Costa Rica to be close to nature, Arenal Observatory Lodge is the place to be. The views of the volcano are unbeatable and the massive grounds are teaming with wildlife--birds, coati, monkeys, reptiles. The many on-site trails are beautiful and well kept, and the optional guided tours are great. We did a guided night tour and were amazed by the wildlife we saw, all of which we never would have noticed without the guide. We ate at the restaurant for many of our meals and enjoyed everything, and the staff is extremely friendly. As with many places in Costa Rica, there was no air conditioning in the rooms, but this was not a problem for us in late April/early May and the fan did the trick. I'll miss this place! (PS, don't be alarmed by the long dirt road on the drive in, the end result is worth it.)"

"Staff made our honeymoon such a special trip. We were greeted by name, loved the relaxing hot springs, and had to plan nothing since the desk made excursion planning simple. We had beautiful evenings sitting beside palm trees and enjoying the water."

"Everything at Casa Luna was wonderful. The staff is helpful and easy to communicate with. The property is beautiful and well maintained. We did not want to leave! "

"Great little resort. The staff and grounds are the best. It is very quiet and relaxing. Restaurant is very good as well."

"Wonderful!"

"This is the best resort we have stayed at. We went to the Four Season after and Nayara was the highlight of our trip.. "

"Wonderful location! Great amenities and services!!"

"We loved our stay at Hotel Mountain Paradise. What a beautiful view of the Volcano from high up in the hills above La Fortuna area. The staff was so nice and welcoming. We were upgraded to a better villa upon arrival which was such a kind gesture! Breakfast was awesome and included some typical food plus other hotel restaurant classics. The area around the hotel is wild and natural. We saw so much wildlife from just outside our door. Only problem is that we had a bat fly into our room on our last night - quite terrifying for us not used to that sort of thing. I would recommend this to everyone!"

"Amazing!!!"
