We stayed at Rabfer for two nights while doing the tourist thing in La Fortuna. This family operated hotel, was the perfect place to come back to after a long day. Their breakfast was very good, home cooking. The couple and their sons were kind, friendly and helpful. It was close to all the stores and restaruants. The price was... More

Friendly family staff, basic but clean rooms. Small but nice garden with pool.

This family run hotel was recommended by a tour guide in La Fortuna. Two blocks from main street, lovely quiet hotel. Good clean pool and facilities. We were made extremely welcome for our one night stay. Breakfast cooked freshly for us; we were allowed to keep our room well after check out time. I would definitely stay again.

If you are in the La Fortuna area and looking for a great place to call home in between all your adventuring, I recommend staying at Hotel Arenal Rabfer! It's within a short walk to restaurants, shops and vendors. It's a family owned hotel with great home cooking every morning for breakfast...YUM! They are from the area, can connect you... More

When we arrived they gave us a discount for paying with cash (only 100$!! For... More

Also, the pool is heated, which our kids loved! We would definitely stay there again. Also, the breakfasts are good. But they aren't large. I... More

This is a great family run hotel and the staff would do anything for you. They can book many tours for you including the jeep-boat-jeep (which isn't actually a jeep but a mini bus!!) transfer to Monteverde. It's in a good location just off the main square and near to plenty of places to eat, souvenir shops and a bank.... More

We were referred to this place by another hotel. Reservations were easy online (had to provide credit card). The family running this hotel was very hospitable. Stayed 2 nights in a standard room with a/c. The room itself was very basic, just a bed (relatively comfortable with lumpy pillows), a night stand and a TV. No closet or storage space.... More
