The grounds are beautiful, the people are helpful and friendly, and the drinks were delicious :) nice pool, with swim up bar, and a great jacuzzi for the evenings. The location was perfect, righ in the middle of all the Arenal activities, and only 10 minutes... More

We stayed at the Volcano Lodge and Gardens for 4 nights. We arrived in the dark and almost missed the location! But we are very happy we found it, as it was a good place to be located. It's just west of LaFortuna which is a busy Costa Rican village. The Volcano Lodge is in a peaceful garden setting with... More

I visited this hotel December of 2011 with my girlfriend. I wanted to come to Costa Rica for about a year and we finally made the trip, and I was not disappointed with this hotel. First, the grounds of the hotel are magnificent. Its almost like the hotel is inside of its own little rainforest. The whole atmosphere was just... More

My wife and I stayed here for several days and I have to say that it was an amazing place to stay. We actually forgot our memory card for our camera that had over 500 pictures on it. We contacted them and they found it in the room and shipped it to us all the way in Massachusetts. They were... More

Among all the wonderful places that we have stayed in our travels, this was by far the best! The grounds are stunning, and extensive with great views of Arenal. We were lucky enough to be there when the clouds cleared so we were able to see the fumaroles. The staff is so helpful and friendly, and the maid even took... More

Volcano Lodge was the best place I stayed while in Costa Rica. Very nice room layout and clean. Had a resort feel to it. Good view of the volcano from anywhere on the property. Good restaurant near to all of the rooms. There's a nice trail behind the main area. The howler monkeys might wake you up once or twicce... More

WOW! What a fantastic place. The staff was excellent in meeting all of our needs. The rooms are average, but the service far exceeds any minor disappointments. They have a walking trail around the back side of the property, which is nice after dinner. If you ask they have laundry services and will deliver it to your room. The restaurant... More
