Amor Arenal

Perched at the rainforest foothills of Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna, Costa Rica, this five-star lodge sits on Ruta 142 just west of town. Expect raw volcano views, a canyon of virgin rainforest and easy access to Arenal Volcano National Park. A short drive from Los Lagos and other hot springs, the property is minutes from popular attractions like the park and the Adventure Park. La Fortuna (FON) is the closest airstrip, about 9 km away.

Luxury cabins carved from tropical hardwood overlook a rainforest canyon and the volcano. Rooms (31 total) feature private furnished balconies, king beds with fine linens, Smart/55" TVs, air conditioning and complimentary 12G Wi‑Fi. Many units include warm mineral-spring spa plunge pools, private plunge pools or terrace pool views, double-head rain showers and a stocked minibar. Décor leans natural and upscale — think hardwood, local art accents and big windows framing the green.

Soak in mineral-water fed pools, unwind in a full-service spa with multiple treatment rooms, or hit the 24-hour fitness center. The hotel also offers concierge services, gift shop/newsstand, poolside bar and a bar/lounge for evening drinks. Complimentary full breakfast is served daily and limited room service is available. Wake to volcano views, rainforest sounds and the scent of fresh coffee.

Complimentary high-speed internet (12G Wi‑Fi), express check-out, laundry/dry-cleaning and a 24-hour front desk. A roundtrip airport shuttle is available for a surcharge and free valet parking is onsite.

El Rancho Restaurant serves five-star breakfast, lunch and dinner with fresh, local and organic ingredients and seasonal menus. A complimentary full breakfast is served daily from 6:30 AM to 10:00 AM. There’s also a poolside bar and a bar/lounge for cocktails, plus limited-hour room service when you’d rather dine in.
