What a find off the main road. I have not stayed in the area before so not sure how the hotel compares to others. Pro: Great price, view of volcano and lake from front deck of hotel. Friendly staff and owner. Hiking trail outside of room. Cons-Food is ok, but maybe it's just me. Please drive the extra kilometers to... More

I stayed here with a friend for spring break. We werent looking for a really wild spring break experience but this place was too quiet for us. There's no central lounge or hangout area. The rooms were fine but there were some ants. I will say that it was nice that the showers had pressure and were hot. The breakfast,... More

With a nice view of the Arenal volcano and within a long walk to the town of La Fortuna (about 1/2 mile), the traveler has a choice of two cabins. The small one ($40 plus tax in March 2011, includes breakfast) and the large ($55 plus tax in March 2011, includes breakfast) both offer a good value for the money... More

We stayed in Cabin 3 and enjoyed our stay here. You cannot beat the location: ~5-10 minute walk from downtown La Fortuna. The staff was incredibly helpful, they booked tours for us and called taxis for us and explained to the drivers exactly where we wanted to go (we cannot speak Spanish). There is a small restaurant with a limited... More

Decided to stay here after reading other TripAdvisor reviews. This place did not disappoint! For $45/night, including breakfast for two, it was a great deal. It was close enough to Town to walk (5-10 minutes) but far enough away to be tranquil. We stayed in one of the newer cabins in the back, so it was far enough from the... More

The staff here was helpful and efficient. The villas are beautiful with their own hummingbird residents in the flowers outside. It is a good distance to town but still tranquil. Great breakfast included at the restaurant. Includes a pool. We enjoyed staying here very much.

My husband and I landed in La Fortuna with nothing but our backpacks and knocked on doors asking for prices for various hotels and hostels. Out of all the places we went to, Villas Vista had the best rate (for cash), a pool, airconditioning, and was very clean. We loved having our own villa and no shared wall with neighbours.... More

The hotel has great views and is walking distance from the town, which is great. The complimentary breakfast was not very good, unless you like rubbery ham and eggs and Tang instead of orange juice. The staff at the restaurant wasn't very approachable, so it felt like we were taking up their time instead of feeling like we were enjoying... More

my friend and i stayed at villa vista for three nights and thought it was a good find. it was reasonably priced for a nice little cabin with a great garden and nice little pool. next to a field meant great unobstructed view of the volcano... not quite in town but a very reasonable walk, about 10 minutes, and en...
