The staff was very attentive to our needs, Although there were a few issues they were resolved quickly. We had a safe that did not work a few times but each time they would come to replace or fix it. The pool area was lovely and the rooms have Volcano views. Also, the hotel is situated in a nice area... More

Hotel Magic Mountain is at the foot of Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna. It is clean, and beautiful, with a wonderful view of the volcano. A buffet breakfast is also provided.There are many activities and tours that can be done right from the hotel. If you are coming from Liberia, plan for a 3-4 hour drive. Have plenty of gas... More

We had a suite with a jacuzzi and a great view of the pool and volcano. The jacuzzi took a while to warm up, but after that it was great. We also had a nice balcony. The bathroom was very spacious and the bed was comfortable. We were close to La Fortuna and not too far from the hot springs... More

As a woman traveling alone to a place I've never been, I felt perfectly safe. The staff was wonderful and very patient. I made a mistake and booked the same tour twice, they made every effort to rectify the situation and get me on another tour asap. The food was good but a little too salty in the main restaurant...

Check in was very smooth. Front desk staff spoke good english and were very helpful our entire stay. They called the tour company to verify tours we had arranged prior to arrival. The hotel was extremely clean. The flowers around the pool made for a beautiful view from our balcony. The breakfast was good and allowed us to eat authentic... More

We got in around 1am, and there was no one at the desk, so security let us in room. He didn't speak any English but we got it figured out. There was no safe in our room, but after some issues with the door, decided not to bother to ask to switch rooms the next day. Rooms in the suite... More

This hotel is not a "showy" place but it is very nice and clean. Ants will not be a problem if you ensure all food is closed and sealed. We had a Volcano view from our Junior Suite (which had a jacuzzi in the room). The view was wonderful!! We ate the buffet breakfast in the hotel every morning and... More

I stayed here for three nights for vacation with my husband. My main complaint is that the sheets and pillows on the bed had a off smell also the bed was very uncomfortable. The view of the volcano is amazing and the location was great. We had no wireless internet in the room as mentioned in the website. More
