Everything wonderful. Beautiful views. Lovely pool and spa. Staff was outstanding. So pretty. I loved the welcome drink. The view of the volcano. The wild life. Enjoyed the dinners at the restaurant. The soups were outstanding. So were the steaks. We upgraded to a nice room that had a wonderful volcano view. Hawks, howler monkeys, etc. The staff was so... More

Its a little out of the way down a very long dirt road but so are most things around here. The hotel is very dated. The rooms are just lacking in any comfort or cozy feel. The pool/jacuzzi looking onto the volcano is great but thats about all it has going for it. More

Hubby, adult daughter and I spent three nights at the Hotel Linda Vista del Norte as part of a package from Jet Set Vacations. Getting there: Try to arrive in Costa Rica early in the day so you have plenty of time to drive to the resort in the daylight (nightfall is between 5:30 and 6 PM year around). The... More

I stayed with my husband and 10 year old son the week before Thanksgiving. We had a rental car and agree that the road to the resort is quite bumpy and slow. If you don't have a car and are ok w/ just staying at the hotel to enjoy the views and pool, you'll be fine. If you want more... More

I have to start off by saying that the views from just about any room in this small, boutique cottage-style resort are second to none! If you are looking for a beautiful and secluded romantic get-away, then this is definately your place. The pics on the website cannot do it enough justice. But, and there is usually a but, the...

We stayed here for two nights, and as the title says - its really an unparalleled view of the volcano but the 20 min drive down a dirt road is not worth it to me. Anytime you want to go eat you go down that very bumpy and rocky road. Any time you want to go shopping etc its down... More

We stayed in Linda vista for one night . The view and the helpful staff were great, but the room was full of cockroaches. I killed 4 of them. I'm not talking about insects that are seen anywhere there is a forest, I'm talking about cockroaches that come out of sewer! they have to do a better job. The hotel... More

A very unique hotel in a very unique setting. Great location and friendly staff. It was a very relaxing few days even without the sun....lol. Our suite was comfortable and the food was good. Never felt the need to travel back to La Fortuna in the evening for a meal. Henry was the best! More

The Hotel Linda Vista del Norte is a great way to relax after a long day of hiking, being amazed by volcanoes and waterfalls, and being pummeled by remote Costa Rican roads. Despite being 45-minutes away from La Fortuna and down a moderately rough dirt road, you'll find no trouble relaxing with a nice dinner and a glass of guaro... More

Rooms are nice. Pool and jacuzzi are good. Good restaurant with good choices but may be a little bit expensive. The included breakfast is fine. Very good location : few minutes from Arenal NP and Arenal Observatory Lodge where you can hike to Cerro Chato and/or see the Arenal volcano by paying less than in the Arenal NP. Nice view... More
