Great proximity to the falls and hiking trail included.
Andrea, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.
PAULA, 3-night trip

8/10 Very good

Great stay, awesome hiking trails and close to waterfall tour, not included
Danny, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Pros: Very spacious, friendly staff, unbeatable views, good local typical breakfast. Cons: No weather stripping on doors so LOTS of bugs get it. Had to ask the staff the clean off the spider webs on the chandeliers. Outdated and worn furniture. If you can handle a very rustic feel and don't mind fighting bugs that are drawn by lights, then this place is great. The views are fantastic. Not close to town and you must have an AWD car to get around.

Loved the property very quiet near a lot of activities and close to LA Fortuna for eating and shopping 🛍️ Not so easy to find from the road no signage off the 207.

Natalia, 4-night trip

8/10 Very good

The bathroom in our room was run down and shabby looking. Breakfast was excellent. It is a beautiful location away from the busy and noisy La Fortuna, and so close to the waterfall. Staff were great!
Brian, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay at Arenal Waterfall.

Great location and price. The complimentary breakfast and observation trail makes it even better deal. The only down side was the squeaky old mattresses and neighbors running water for an hour at night.

Right in the rain forest! Loved the sound of the rain on the tin roof! Very peaceful! Lots of birds and wildlife! Toucans right outside of our cabin! Breakfast was great! We enjoyed going to the waterfalls nearby.
