Arenal Volcano Inn  

In the lush foothills of La Fortuna de San Carlos, Alajuela — a family-friendly hideaway with direct views of Arenal Volcano. You’re minutes from Arenal Natura Ecological Park and Ecotermales Fortuna, about 5.4 km from Arenal Volcano National Park and roughly 8.1 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. The property sits roughly 120 km from Juan Santamaría International Airport.

This intimate, 25-room inn is wrapped in exotic gardens and small walking trails, so rooms feel private and planted. Expect private furnished balconies or patios with volcano views, pillowtop beds with premium bedding, air-conditioning, in-room coffee makers, minibars, safes and hair dryers. The vibe is relaxed and natural — perfect for those who want quiet luxury without the fuss.

Swim in adult and children’s pools, plunge between indoor and outdoor pools, or warm up in a temperate Jacuzzi. The on-site spa offers massages and mud treatments, and gardens and trails invite slow mornings and volcano-view evenings — wake up to the scent of tropical greenery and a clear volcano silhouette.

Complimentary wireless internet keeps you connected. Free on-site self-parking is available and a roundtrip airport shuttle can be arranged for a surcharge. Staff provide tour/ticket assistance and luggage storage to keep logistics easy.

An on-site restaurant serves Italian and international dishes and draws local guests; a garden-view bar/lounge rounds out the scene. A very complete buffet breakfast is included with many rates, with cooked-to-order options available during breakfast hours. Room service is offered during limited hours.
