Compare and book 3 Star hotels in El Tanque, La Fortuna

"PLUSES: Surroundings are gorgeous and lots of trails and things to do; full of birds for Birders, and various other animals. The staff was (mostly) professional, knowledgable and friendly. The grounds and rooms are very clean. The included breakfast is quite tasty with a variety of options. CONCERNS: The property is isolated, as it is 40 mins w/ no traffic or road issues to La Fortuna and other activities outside the property. Some may love this. Dinners were more of a 3/5. Something I overlooked is that there is no air-conditioning, though this is on me for not realizing. During the warmer "dry" season we would have preferred air-conditioning. PS: For all of the Arenal area (not just the Observatory) if driving from the West (say from Tamarindo beach area), once you hit Lake Arenal, it's about a 1 and 1/2 hour drive to the Observatory, and 2 hours+ to La Fortuna, and this is with no road issues and little traffic."

"Amazing location in the very heart of La Fortuna, but tucked away from the main drags. Easy walking distance to shops and restaurants. Very easy to book tours and passes through reception, even at the last minute & their prices were cheaper than on the tour websites!"

"Room and property are beautiful. They offer breakfast but wasn't able to try it due to our scheduling didn't coordinate with their 7am start time. That is one thing I would change is maybe have breakfast start at 6 for people going on tours so they can eat first. They did provide one day a to go box the night before with sandwich and fruit which was nice. The pool and hot tub were relaxing and they have a .25 mile hike thru woods on their property that is awesome. The view of volcano was exceptional."
