- roseglobe (8/5): Nice although simple place overlooking the volcano - On the whole, a friendly structure with a beautiful view over the area of Arenal Volcano. The rooms are in detached buildings and are spacious although quite simple in terms of services (room telephone would be a good addition). Meals are also ‘minimal’ but surely tasty. Nice staff. Not centric.

- SullyBoy2020 (10/5): Paradise - Linda Vista del Norte is paradise on earth. The hotel is located in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano. My wife and I watched the sun rise over Arenal, and set over the mountains. The staff of the establishment understands the meaning of “Pura Vida” and live it in every way. When we arrived at the hotel, we were met with a gracious smile and honest welcome from Bryan. He, as well as the rest of the staff, made us feel as though we were coming home. As if we were welcomed family members who were weary from traveling. They attended to everything. The rooms were immaculate. The onsite restaurant, Loma Linda, is phenomenal. There is honestly no need to ever leave the property. As I was checking out, I asked Bryan if I could take a picture. He assumed I meant if he would take one of my wife and I. Not at all. I took this picture because he was such an important and integral part of our first trip to Costa Rica. The other picture is from our room. Waking up in the shadow of Arenal, seeing the sun rising over it, hearing nature around us and the warmth of the staff. This is why I say that Linda Vista del Norte is paradise. There is not a more appropriate word to describe it. This may be the first time, but definitely will not be the last. We will most certainly visit Linda Vista del Norte hotel again. Pura Vida every one. Pura Vida my new friend Bryan.
- Stacey (10/5): - Hard to believe the view. The grounds are magical with all the amazing plants and flowers. You have to see it to believe it
- glennbeauj (10/5): Hotel Linda Vista - This place is a hidden gem. We were a bit skeptical at first for $55/night, but after staying 2 nights, we couldn’t believe it was only $55 a night. Clean spacious rooms, AC, hot water and some really amazing views. We definitely recommend this hotel and they also have a great on site restaurant with amazing views of Arenal Volcano & Lake. They also have a pool and jacuzzi. They also have a great restaurant on site with excellent food, friendly staff, and amazing views.

Breakfast at the restaurant was good.
- Lataska S (10/5): - The peace and tranquility was beautiful! The only bad thing about this place is the hard bed and pillows. This was just wonderful though! We will be back again!

- 06young (10/5): Breathtaking Views & Exceptional Service - Hotel Linda Vista is a hidden gem! Waking up to the stunning views of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal was magical. The staff was incredibly welcoming, and the food at the restaurant was delicious. The master suite was spacious and well-equipped. Can’t wait to return!
- Eric (10/5): - Incredible views of the volcano and lake! Super friendly and helpful staff. Loved the bird feeders, the window placements, and abundant viewing areas. Rooms are a little dated and sparse (a TV from two decades ago, erratic wifi, and lack of power outlets), but they were clean and comfortable. I would recommend bringing body wash if you don’t like small hand soap to shower with. The breakfast was decent, maybe a tiny step above a continental breakfast. I would not recommend eating at the restaurant for other meals though. It was pricy, mediocre quality, and didn’t taste great. Overall, I would recommend it and would stay here again.
- Latifa (10/5): - Clean property and friendly staff. We will definitely return.
- DARLENE (10/5): - This property was amazing. Worth every penny.
- Leena (8/5): - About 30 minutes from the main city but amazing view and close to many activities. The view really is spectacular! Breakfast in the morning was pretty good. you will need a car to get around. Rooms themselves are pretty dated, I got a junior suite and for some reason the two beds were facing each other which was a bit strange.
- Jon (10/5): - A lovely place. Rural with beautiful views.
- Sami (10/5): - Great hotel and fantastic views! The restaurant was a bit expensive but delicious food!
- Yolanda (10/5): Volcano Arenal - We loved our stay the view was amazing!!
The food was good enough.
Looking for a quiet place . Would recommend will return for sure!
- baggolino (8/5): Great hotel experience, fairly priced. I would definitely return. - This is a gem of a hotel situated 20-25 minutes drive from La Fortuna. Our room a premium with two queen beds had exceptional views, we saw much wild life during our stay due to the view from the room and the remote location.
There is a lovely pool area, with a hot tub. The pool was not heated, probably due to December being off peak. The hot tub was.
Hotel staff were very friendly and helpful. The room was clean and well maintained during our stay.
The breakfast, which is included in the rate, was average.
You do need a car if you plan to stay at this hotel.
I rate this hotel 4.5/5
- Jonathan (10/5): - Beautiful place and great views
- Oliver (10/5): - Front desk staff were amazing
- Marie (6/5): Outdated and quite unclean - Hotel with good view, but the rooms are not clean, the beds, shower etc are not comfortable and very much outdated and require a lot of maintenance.
A stay that was quite disappointing. But if you’re here just for the view, then it’s okay I guess.
The restaurant attached to it is quite expensive but excellent.
Plan a 40min trip to la Fortuna. Many big potholes on the way to the hotel.
- Gyates23 (10/5): A Breathtaking Stay with Unmatched Views - Hotel Linda Vista is a gem! The view of the Arenal Volcano from the property is absolutely stunning—waking up to such a majestic sight was unforgettable. The swimming pool was clean and refreshing, perfect for relaxing after a day of exploring. The on-site restaurant served delicious food, with a great variety of options and attentive staff. If you're looking for a peaceful and scenic retreat, this hotel is a must-visit. Highly recommend!
- Pawel (10/5): - Magnificent views, quiet and friendly. Swimming pool with the views and wet bar . Amazing experience.Amazing experience ♥️
- 84jeannief (10/5): Amazing Hotel and Wonderful Views - We had a very nice time at linda vista hotel, The rooms just beautiful and with great views to the renal volcano and arenal lake, Linda vista offers also a very good restaurant for every meal. Great location near to many activities in the area.
- Loganathan (10/5): Very serene location in La Fortuna - Excellent place to view Arenal volcano and the lake. The place is very quiet. Restaurant staff are very friendly. Decent food choices including vegetarian options. It may be little far from La Fortuna if there is preference for other varieties of food.
- Jonathan J. (6/5): - The views were spectacular. The rooms were outdated. The bed was terrible as was the bedding. The bathroom shower didn’t drain properly so you stood in water. The bathroom was very tight, no soap or shampoo or hanging towels. The food was basic and without variety. We had to have service repair the glass sliding door lock when we arrived because it didn’t lock. Thankfully the area seemed safe because the doors didn’t have deadbolt locks or secure stops.
- Ivaylo (10/5): - Can't beat the surroundings of the hotel, absolutely stunnig views of the vulcano and the lake.
- kathleen (6/5): - Nice pool. Noisy
- danaa903 (10/5): Best Views in Costa Rica - The infinity pool in Hotel Linda Vista has given me the best view I guess I can ever get. The Arenal Lake and the volcano itself are amazing, and the pool seems like you are bobbing on a sea of clouds. Sophisticated and relaxing to the extreme – everyone needs one of these in their home!
- annfR1536ZU (10/5): Views to Write Home About - One really gets out of bed and go straight for the swimming pool, an infinity swimming pool with a view of the Arenal Volcano and Arenal lake.

- bradleyf947 (10/5): Stunning Volcano Views from a Perfectly Situated Pool" - Hotel Linda Vista boast of an infinity pool that provides vantage view of Arenal Volcano and Lake Arenal. Just to sit there with nature’s masterpiece on the eye is worth the bicycle trip alone. A calm andAmazin destination to relax and get lost.
- R7566EBanthonyl (10/5): Arenal Volcano in Full View—A Dreamy Escape - The escapade which Hotel Linda Vista offered was memorable because of the excellent location of the hotel. The infinity pool is located to offer the best of view of the Arenal Lake and the volcano making it an excellent place to take a relaxed swim. A truly unforgettable stay!
- 925ramonag (10/5): Nature’s Best Displayed from Linda Vista - The simple view of an infinity pool with a view of Arenal Lake together with the Arenal Volcano presents the best picture. I wasted a lot of time merely floating around feeling the charm of Costa Rica. This hotel must be added to the list of the hotels to visit by everyone!!
- bennieb605 (10/5): Paradise Found: Nature’s Splendor and a Pristine Infinity Pool - At the infinity pool, it is just hard to beat the view of the Arenal Volcano and of Lake Arenal.

- Patricio (6/5): - I recently stayed at this hotel, nestled in the mountains, and was blown away by the stunning views of the lake and Arenal Volcano. The rooms are clean and functional, perfect for a comfortable stay. While they may not be luxurious, the price is fair and reasonable.
One important note to consider is that a car is highly recommended to get around, as the hotel's location is somewhat remote.
Overall, I would definitely recommend this hotel to anyone looking for a peaceful retreat with breathtaking views. The staff was friendly and helpful, and the amenities were sufficient for our needs.
Pros:
