We had a wonderful time at our little bungalow. It was a two bedroom with a kitchen and our own private pool. We were in the jungle so we had a lot of activity at night, but it was fun and well worth it.

We stayed in Tree House Villa #17 Toucan. It was so relaxing and roomy, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Costa Rican nature. We were very comfortable and pleased with our accommodations. It could use a few little touch-ups, nothing to complain about. It was great to have a stove, which was used for meals. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was easy. Maintenance crews were always busy cleaning. The included breakfast was good. The only downfall was having to leave the property for breakfast. That being said, the restaurant was managed by very helpful and friendly people, just like the property itself. It would be so nice to have a restaurant on site though.

This was an amazing slice of beauty and paradise!!! We ended up staying here in one of the Villa's after our previous accommodations didn't work out. The only thing I will warn people about is if you choose to stay in one of the Villa's prepare to do stairs (a lot of stairs!) However, even with this the stay was peaceful, wonderful and the views were breathtaking. The best part was that each Villa has its own Wi-Fi so that you aren't fighting for Wi-Fi speeds! This is also somewhere that is pretty close to some amazing dining options!

Place was not the same as it show on the internet. Sheets were dirty and shower knob couldn’t turn off completely. I originally booked for 4 nights, I left after the first night. I asked if I can get a refund for my remaining days and was told no. I explained to front desk how I wasn’t comfortable staying there, he acted like he understood but clearly not. I would not recommend this place to nobody!!

Our time at Arenal Waterfall Lodge was an unexpected delight. The cabin we booked was nicer than we expected - tucked away in the jungle with a screened balcony complete with hammock and loads of windows to enjoy the outdoor view. It also had a kitchen; we didn't need it but the fridge and full size coffee maker were appreciated. A nice breakfast was included in the rate as well as access to the 2 1/2 hour trail. We came to LaFortuna to enjoy the outdoors and how convenient to have a trail head for a good hike right on property! Getting to the cabins requires a drive down the hill on what we have come to expect as typical Costa Rican roads - in need of repair but passable. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending it to our friends and family for their next visit to LaFortuna.

Arenal Waterfall Lodge was great. Older hotel but very clean. The staff at the hotel were all super friendly and accommodating. The grounds around the pool area were well kept and it was very relaxing to sit and listen to the birds. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were also very kind. It was delightful to meet so many nice people at this hotel. They had a super sweet dog on property that followed us on some trails and met us for breakfast. Really cool. I will definitely stay here again. Very peaceful property!! Pura Vida!!

Pics online are minimum 10 years old. Room sizes are not accurate either. All rooms are way smaller than advertised. We stayed in a one bedroom suite that was supposed to be 1000 square feet. Barely 400. Think state park cabin. Not suite. It was very private and other that typical tropics rust in stuff the room worked. The whole resort is very run down though

The hotel is conveniently located near La Fortuna Waterfall, making it a great choice if you want to stay close to this popular attraction. Breakfast is decent, but don’t expect a large variety — you may need to pay extra for additional items like eggs. If you enjoy being surrounded by nature, this is a wonderful place to explore; however, if that’s not your preference, you might want to consider other options. We stayed in a room for three people but were only provided with two towels, and the staff was noticeably unfriendly upon our late arrival. There was no bottled water, coffee, or other basic amenities in the room, and the toiletries (shampoo, soap, etc.) had an unpleasant smell. Additionally, the property has high humidity levels, so keep that in mind when planning your stay.

We stayed in the private villa, which is gorgeous and is very clean, spacious, and comfortable. But, by virtue of coming to this part of CR, you’re in the rainforest and the house has glass doors and a cabin feel so there are and will be largely harmless creatures finding there way in. It was fine for us—2 families with a total of 4 kids—but if you’re squeamish and don’t like a little nature inside, stay somewhere else! Otherwise, this place was amazing and is right off the El Chato hike (which is tough but incredibly rewarding).

The staf was very friendly and helpful. The villa we stayed in was a climb, which I was not expecting. We are great full that we did not get one that was higher. It appeared that would have required the assistance of a mountain goat. Lol Seriously, it would have been too difficult fir us to access. The room was roomy and open. It is in need of cleaning and paint. The deck is small with two chairs, and not room enough to move them for a better view or to sit together. The doors require a key on both sides. So, leave the key in the lock in your room, incase of an emergency and won't need to be searching for the key to get out.
