Excellent lodge
I had an amazing experience at La Fortuna Lodge! The staff went above and beyond to help get shuttles and book my excursions. The breakfast and coffee were great! I could walk everywhere or quickly get an uber whenever I wanted. Beautiful place and would definitely go back.

This was in between a hostel and a high end resort which was exactly what I wanted. Gated and staffed 24/7 with great connection to local food and tours. Room overlooked Arenal and got great pics from my balcony.
You installed both my furnace and AC in the Meadows of Welli

Central, walkable, clean, affordable
We appreciated the walk ability to just about everywhere in La Fortuna. Did a few tours through the front desk and they were excellent. The top terrace was a nice place to hang out in the evenings for a quiet drink. Breakfast was quite good, nice to have fresh fruit, and coffee available as well. Not 5 star but perfect for our needs.
