"This was an absolutely fabulous place to stay for many reasons. The breakfast is excellent and if you get it included in your room, it’s an extraordinary value. The staff are wonderful and always seem to have a smile for you. The front desk staff, especially Astin, are helpful and will go out of their way to make sure you get what you need. The grounds are impeccable. They keep them very well groomed and it’s an absolute joy to walk around to see the tropical plants, birds and little lizards and how beautiful they keep their property. It feels like a true tropical oasis. After a great day of fun activities, you always get to come back to a fabulous full-size pool that is extremely clean and very comfortable to sit in the sun just to relax. The location just outside of the downtown is absolutely perfect. you get away from the noise and the hustle and bustle but it’s a six minute walk to all of the restaurants and bars and wonderful downtown of La Fortuna. If you want the perfect location to be very close to all of the excursions and fun you can have, this is the place. A five minute drive to the zip lines, 3 to 4 minutes and you can go sloth hunting, 20 minutes to the volcano park and 25 minutes to the hanging bridges. You couldn’t ask for a better location. My wife and I enjoyed our six nights at Arenal country Inn so much we know we will be back Thanks for making it a perfectly experience"

"Breakfast is limited"

"We stayed at this hotel for 4 nights during high season. We booked it because of the great reviews and the location. The positive - the grounds are lovely, the people working the front desk are pleasant and friendly, the bar out front has happy hour and a great bartender. We enjoyed food and happy hour there several nights. We had a deluxe room king size bed. There was plenty of space, it had a kitchenette and they provided coffee to make coffee in the morning. Coffee was also available at the front reception (bring your own mug or stay there to drink) ran out of take away cup The bad - the bed is hard as a rock and the hotel lacks enough towels to provide clean towels or replace what we started with day 1. After the first day my washcloths were removed - never replaced. When I asked the 1st time I was told they did not have any more. Hand towels never replaced. On day three none of the towels were replaced and the one that was dirty on the floor was put on the counter in a pile. At this point I had to take all my towels to the front myself to get new ones and I was told they were short on towels because it is high season. I suggest the hotel buy more of each type of towel so they can provide at least a washcloth, hand towel and body towel daily. Ideally 2 body towels. They could also put up a sign saying if you don’t mind reusing towels to leave them hanging. Only one body towel is allowed per person unless you take the dirty ones to the front to get new ones. "

"Staff was very nice and accommodating. I like that the receptionist / property manager gentleman would walk up to cars to make sure there they were actual guests and there for reason. (He walked up to us parking a few times, especially at night and I appreciated that) The property is beautiful, the bungalow was clean and pretty cool. Pool was great and the AC was pumpin! The property is Close enough to everything yet tucked away from the main road traffic. I would absolutely recommend Jungalo, You won’t be disappointed!! "

"We loved our stay at LaFortuna Lodge. The location was perfect, lots of restaurants and shopping nearby. The staff was friendly and very helpful. We highly recommend staying there. We will definitely come back. "

"The place is very well laid out, with many accessible trails. However, the meals are expensive compared to other lodges we've visited. The location is excellent for birdwatching; there's a bird feeder installed, which is a real plus. However, the feeder is made of metal rods, which isn't very aesthetically pleasing for photography. It would be beneficial to redesign the feeder to incorporate natural branches, as other lodges do, which would allow for much better bird photos."

"The location is excellent, offering a clean and modern room, and a superb breakfast with a wide array of choices. The staff provided exceptional service, demonstrating both friendliness and helpfulness. Its proximity to downtown is convenient, yet it is sufficiently removed to provide a sense of natural tranquility."

"We loved our stay. The grounds were beautiful and we enjoyed the pool. Liked having a restaurant on the property and how close it was to town, yet secluded and quiet. Highly recommend. Also recommend Pure Trek for canyoning and Arenal Mundo Adventura for Zip Line. Wished the kitchenette was more equipped with utensils for cooking like large spoon, spatula, mixing bowl, knife, etc. "

"We had the most wonderful time. The owner was an absolute delight — friendly, helpful, and made us feel like family from the moment we arrived . That personal touch is what sets this place apart from anywhere else we’ve stayed. The rooms were immaculate — fresh, tidy, and well-appointed. It’s clear that a lot of care and pride goes into maintaining this property. And the views were simply stunning. We found ourselves just stopping and taking it all in at every opportunity. To top it all off, breakfast was included and absolutely delicious — homemade and the perfect way to start each morning. You could taste the love and effort that went into every dish. It’s the kind of breakfast that keeps you talking about it long after you’ve checked out! If you’re searching for a peaceful, charming getaway with a host who makes your comfort their top priority, this is the place. We left already looking forward to coming back!"
