- Allan (8/5): -
- Margherita (8/5): -
- Tamas (7/5): - We really felt close to nature.
There was a wonderful view of the Arenal Volcano In our bungalow, the Wi-Fi didn’t work at all.
There was no hair dryer.
- Jose (9/5): - Vista, granja Mantenimiento
- Amelia (8/5): Muy buen alojamiento, vista espectacular - La vista es espectacular, da al volcán. Son cabañas separadas la una de la otra.
- Oldemar (9/5): - La ubicación cercana al centro pero a su vez con poco ruido y mucha tranquilidad, cabañas independientes y en buen estado Aunque no pasamos mucho tiempo en la cabaña, la señal de televisión regular y el WiFi en algunos momentos se desconectaba
- Marino (9/5): - La ubicación, el desayuno incluido, la vista al volcán desde la piscina.
- Hugo (10/5): - La ubicación muy serca de todo No tenía cable en la televisión
- Qudus Kolade (8/5): Muy buen sitio, buena ubicación y calidad-precio! - La ubicación! El colchón!
- Mary (10/5): - The hotel is an established property. The bungalows are spacious and well landscaped for privacy.
It is close to the main part of La Fortuna. The pool area was relaxed and a nice place to hang out with our group. We saw plenty of wildlife during our pool time. The breakfast was delicious. One of the best during our stay in Costa Rica.
- Luis S (8/5): Love my stay at Villas Vista Arenal. I would stay there again. - The hot Breakfast was good. They will cook your eggs to your taste. The Casitas are very close to plenty of restaurants, and supermarkets. The town center is withing walking distance. There is also a Zipline, Agency in front of the hotel. You can park your car, or Motorcycle next to each casita.
- Jana (9/5): Schöne Zeit - Sehr zentral,tolle Sicht auf den Vulkan,schöne gepflegte Anlage, hübsche Bungalowsiedlung mit Privatsphäre Bad mit Teppichboden, Frühstück etwas einseitig
- Karen (9/5): -
- Alvaro (10/5): - Do espaço do quarto.
Do silêncio.
Da vista, é espetacular demais.
- Maria Fernanda (10/5): Excelente - Me encantó, la ubicación, la vista, el trato el desayuno todo en realidad estuvo genial.
- Ericka (6/5): -
- Sandip (10/5): Lovely time with family - Amazing hotel for the price. Location is great. Breakfast is amazing and fulfilling as well. The views of the volcano are stunning from the pool area.
- Estibaliz (10/5): -
- Isabelle (9/5): - Le cadre et la proximité du volcan
- Paula (10/5): - Our stay at this hotel was memorable for all the right reasons. The entire property was very clean and they serve a great freshly made breakfast.
The location is excellent. It is situated 5-10min walk to one of the most beautiful beaches that we’ve visited (Playa Carrillo).
The kids loved the swimming pool. It was clean, well-kept, and a perfect place to relax.
What truly set this hotel apart, though, was the hospitality. The hosts went above and beyond to make us feel welcome—they didn’t just treat us as guests, but more like family. Their warmth, attentiveness, and genuine care made a lasting impression and turned a great stay into an exceptional one.
We would absolutely return and highly recommend this hotel to anyone. Nothing.
- Ronald (10/5): -
- Mamesmar (9/5): - La naturaleza circundante, las vistas al volcán (cuando no hay nubes) y el jardín alrededor, muy cuidado Todo estuvo muy bien
- Lovely (8/5): Thumbs up - Walking distance to main square where lots of bars and restaurants. Behind the property there is a park where you can go for a relaxing walk. Staff are nice. Amazing breakfast. A wonderful view of the Vulcano Arenal. Its a good size for family, just the washroom, it needs more amenities but not a big deal.
- Valverde (5/5): - No tenia televisión con cable solo 3 canales se podía ver
No se podía ver ni siquiera videos en la pantalla
Por q era de los teles viejos
- Diego (10/5): - La amabilidad del personal. Y acompañado de un exvelente desayuno.
- Yvan (9/5): Bien placé et spacieux. - La piscine. Les chambres sont grandes. Le petit dej est correct. Très bon emplacement. Nous étions heureusement loin de la route car pour le petit dej , la proximité de la route est moyenne.
- Cristina (10/5): -
- Ganna (9/5): -
- Proskurin (6/5): - Gut gelegen. Hat ein Pool. Auto kann direkt vor dem Haus gepackt werden. Klimaanlage funktioniert gut. Häuser sind reine Holzbau. Für 5 Personen etwas eng. Keine Ablagen im Bad. Internet ist nicht wirklich schnell und bei uns im Zimmer kaum noch vorher - müssten immer zur Lobby. Es ist anzusehen, dass das Hotel schon alt ist.
- OSCAR ARMANDO (8/5): Buen Hotel - El hotel tiene una buena ubicación, se encuentra a 800 mts del pueblo y a unos cuantos metros del Sloth Park, además tiene una gran vista al volcán El Arenal. Las camas y almohadas no son cómodas.
- Andrew (10/5): Basic but very good. - Clean. Helpful staff. Friendly. All good.
- Rowan (6/5): - Locatie is super, uitzicht op de Arenal vulkaan en op loopafstand van het centrum terwijl je wel rustig en in de natuur zit. Wij vonden er een koude, afstandelijke sfeer hangen. Huisjes waren niet schoon, er lag nepgras in de badkamer, basis dingetjes zoals een prullenbak of do not disturb bordje ontbreken, zeer basis ontbijt. Zonde want in de locatie zit zoveel potentieel, met iets meer liefde en aandacht kan deze plek naar een veel hoger niveau getild worden!
- Florian (10/5): - Perfect view of the volcano (depending in which house you’re staying).
Next to a lot of restaurants The pool was quite dirty
- Kirk (2/5): Disappointing, Very Disappointing - Breakfast was included but if hoped for something better than powdered eggs & 2 slices of very thin shaved ham. The beds were like sleeping on a sheet of 3/4 plywood with a yoga mat in top, AC was minimal at best.
I didn't expect much but the web pics make the facilities look much better than they are. I won't stay here again!
- Carole (7/5): - La vue depuis la piscine sur larenal
Les bungalow sont spacieux avec place parking privative
Possibilité d’aller au centre à pied C’est bruyant près de la route
Le petit déjeuner est frugal et servi juste au bord de la route
- Caroline (7/5): - Hyggeligt sted. Rigtig meget larm fra vejen hele natten.
- Fahad (7/5): - Very nice location Only with wifi in room 22 not reaching
- Adrian (9/5): Hotel with beautiful view on the Arenal volcano - The rooms (villas) of the hotel have a direct view to the Arenal volcano, the room we had provided a very nice landscape to Arenal volcano. The hotel features a pool, just good to relax.
The room was large, with comfortable beds and clean sheets. The small terrase was a bonus.
The car can be parked on the side of the villa, very convenient.
The breakfast is very tasty and we could choose from various types (traditional, continental, fruits based).
- Rebecca (8/5): Basic but good - The view of the volcano was fantastic. It was quiet there and backs onto a sloth reserve, so lots of wildlife. The staff were friendly and kind. The breakfast was good. Accommodation is pretty basic. The bathroom is very basic and it’s a bit rough around the edges. The bedding is thin. We did enjoy our stay, just don’t go expecting luxury.
- Alejandro (9/5): -
- Jannis (8/5): -
- Juan (8/5): -
- Federico (10/5): Excelente lugar para compartir - Lo céntrico , buen desayuno y la piscina La cama podría ser más cómoda
- Melissa (6/5): Se requiere más limpieza y mantenimiento - Buena ubicación y personal amable Sábanas, almohadas y cobijas en mal estado. El baño estaba bastante sucio. En general falta de limpieza.
- Cseke (8/5): Nice place to stay on the edge of downtown. - The property is attractive and quiet with a nice view of Arenal by the pool. It’s nice to have a refrigerator, but it rattled a bit.
- German (8/5): Excelente ubicación y precio - Ubicación y Desayuno Ruido entre las cabinas por cercanía y cabinas con entrada de luz entre piezas de madera
- Snezana (8/5): - Looking at the volacano and birds that visited every morning. The accomodation felt a little outdated and basic.
- Carla (9/5): -
- Sue (10/5): Perfect place to explore La Fortuna - Perfectly positioned with uninterrupted view of the Arenal volcano. 15 minutes walk into town, less than 5 minutes to the supermarket. Simple, comfortable and clean rooms with large bathrooms and a fridge. Really kind and helpful manager who made me feel very welcome. Numerous birds and butterflies.
- Ligia (10/5): Satisfecha - Seguro, bien ubicado y tranquilo Faltan detalles de comodidad, pero para el precio está bien
- Antonio (7/5): - Desayuno regular 5
- Manson (7/5): -
- Claire (4/5): - L’emplacement est pratique bien que l’établissement se trouve en bord de route, rendant l’endroit très bruyant Nous sommes arrivées tard le soir et il n’y avait pas d’eau chaude et la chasse d’eau ne fonctionnait pas. Quand jai prévenu le gérant pour l’eau chaude il m’a répondu « c’est normal » alors que la meilleure chose a faire aurait été de s’excuser du dérangement occasionné.
Le petit déjeuner était réellement mauvais et il se prend sur le bord de la route avec un grand nombre de camions qui passent de manière incessante.
Honnêtement ce logement ne valait vraiment pas son prix
- Amber (7/5): - Good location, nice pool, nice view of Arenal Shower water was only luke warm for a little bit and turned cool quickly. Beds are uncomfortable.
- ALEJANDRO (9/5): - La atención del personal fue muy amable. La pileta es amplia, limpia y con gran vista al volcán arenal. Todas las unidades tienen estacionamiento propio y aire acondicionado. El desayuno tiene 3 opciones, les recomendamos que no se vayan sin probar el desayuno típico. El colchón de la habitación nos resultó algo incómodo. Igualmente pudimos descansar muy bien
- Romina (10/5): Perezosos en el fondo de la cabaña ! - Buena ubicación, personal muy amable y desayuno abundante, pero lo más importante fue tener en el fondo de la propiedad un sendero donde se realizan caminatas para observar perezosos y nosotros tuvimos uno alojado en el árbol de atrás de la habitación durante más de 2 días!! Fue hermoso <3 En la habitaciones más alejadas no llega bien el Wifi (pero lo compensa la visita de los pájaros y perezosos!)
- David (8/5): -
- linda (8/5): The location was perfect and very affordable. Everything was comfortable and the staff were so friendly. We loved our st - Great location so close to food and very close to a supermarket. Staff were wonderful! They accommodated another villa for us on the spot to ease our accommodations since we were a party of 5. Also very helpful with suggestions which was awesome since it was our 1st time. The villas were amazingly clean - nicely spacious with a large bathroom and porch! Can’t think of anything at all. Highly recommend
- Nina (9/5): - Die Lage und die Größe des Zimmers/Hauses waren super! Zu wenig Ablagefläche im Badezimmer.
- Tiffany (8/5): Très bien ! - Bon hôtel, déjeuner très bon et hôte sympathique
Emplacement propre de tout!! Le frigo trop bruyant la nuit
- Lilliana (3/5): Regular - La cercanía al centro. Las camas tenían hormigas e insectos.
Tv muy mala.
Mucho ruido en área de la piscina por la noche.
Habitación muy oscura.
Desayuno regular.
- laetitiasolale (10/5): - Très belles petites cabanes spacieuses et typiques. Entourées de belles plantations qui accueillent les oiseaux. Calme (sauf quand des allemands hurlent à la psicine😅🤣 mais ça ne dure pas longtemps) On a adoré cet endroit et le petit déjeuner rien...
- Erika (8/5): - Good location, nice pool, very clean. Cabins were a little dark
- ana (8/5): Buena relación calidad precio - Era tranquilo. Cómodo. Buen desayuno El ruido de los vehículos
- Reinhold (5/5): Hatten mehr erwartet. - Recht primitive Hütten. Runter gewirtschaftet, renovierungsbedürftig. Badezimmer nicht sauber.
- Sonia (9/5): -
- Jolanthe (10/5): - Großer Zimmer und Bad:) Leider kein Haarföhn :(((
- RICARDO (7/5): Muy centrico y buena atención! - Lo centrico La entrada a las cabañas se llenan de lodo con la lluvia y esto hace que uno ensucie la cabaña. Puedenn colocar pasos o otro tipo de entrada de acceso.
- Sabrina (8/5): - super Lage und gemütliche Betten
Personal freundlich Ablageplatz und Besteck/Geschirr/Wasserkocher fehlen
2 Stühle zu wenig für 4 Personen
- Albert Rodríguez (10/5): -
- Dennis (8/5): - Nice surrounding, good Gallo Pinto, Close to Everthing,many birds, View to vulcano at good weather -Birds are fed,
-Dont let the AC flood the rooms
- Georgina (8/5): Recomendable!! - Muy buenas vistas del volcán desde la piscina. Buen desayuno. Las dos veces que limpiaron se olvidaron de ponernos toallas, pero es un detalle menor. El sitio está muy bien aunque un poco caro, pero entiendo que por la zona
- Arthur (6/5): -
- Beverley (7/5): Other than the bed ,it was all ok. Location is good. Dog was a cute addition - Location - pool was nice & breakfast ok The mattress did not have a mattress cover on it. For sanitary considerations a cover is practical. The mattress also had the springs digging in at time . The top sheet was extremely tucked in such an unusual manner which I’d never experienced before, I had to pull hard to pull it apart.
- yael (8/5): Basic and great value - Location walking distance to town. Surrounded by nature, good breakfast Basic room
- Maggie (6/5): Very basic but comfortable for a night or two - Detached Pillows & linen not comfy, poor quality. Had to use plunger in loo!
- gjrr1985 (8/5): - Cabañas bonitas y acogedoras. La TV no se veía bien, el calentador de agua de la ducha no funcionaba bien.
- Carlos (9/5): - Naturaleza y muy cerca del centro de la ciudad
- matt (9/5): The manager was very helpful with any problems . Saw so many birds in the garden including toucans - Staff were very good
- BEKIR FERIDUN (8/5): View of the Arenal volcano with a nice background garden - Spacious cabin with good beds, good shower and good toilet paper but no hooks to hang towels or other stuff. Functional fridge that has seen better days. Nice view on the Arenal Volcano (if not shrouded in clouds) from the pool area at the back of the garden where also Toucans and Hummingbirds (a.o.) can be seen. Good breakfast options but for dinner the on-site restaurant is a pricy steak-house. Lots of other dinner options available nearby however. The breakfast area should be relocated to the back garden where the guests could enjoy both views, birds, peace and quiet. The open air breakfast area is located at the front, next to the highway that brings a lot of heavy traffic noise and exhaust fumes alike.
- Alvaro (10/5): -
- Fabian (7/5): - El desayuno estuvo bueno. la cabaña que nos toco era un poco incomodo el acceso.
- Ronit (2/5): אכזבה גדולה. - המקום מתאים למטיילי שטח ולאנשים שרוצים לחסוך בכסף או לאנשים ממש צעירים. החדרים לא נקיים,מריחים מעישון וחוסר אוורור. המקלחות נראות רע מאוד. ברחנו משם ומתוך 2 לילות שינה, לא ישנו אפילו לילה אחד.
- Dorien (9/5): Fijn verblijf waar je kunt genieten van de vele vogels - Huisje is mooi, ruim en wordt elke dag heel goed schoongemaakt. Je ziet heel veel vogels op het park. We hebben veel tucans rond het zwembad gezien. We waren wel blij dat we een van de laatste huisjes hadden zodat we weinig last hadden van het geluid van het verkeer. Aan de rand van het dorp/ stad zodat je er makkelijk naartoe kunt wandelen maar buiten de drukte zit Als je volledige rust zoekt kun je beter een accommodatie zoeken die niet aan de doorgaande drukke weg ligt
- Reolon (7/5): -
- Sharon (8/5): We would stay here again. - This was a bird watching paradise right on the edge of La Fortuna. Sitting by the pool we saw the clouds move lower and higher with the unobstructed view of Mount Arenal. The included breakfast was great and the staff was friendly and accommodating. We had plenty of hot water and the AC worked great, regardless of the wood plank walls. I was nervous that there might be more insects but we hardly saw any.
This motel is a very short walk to town and close to many great restaurants and a large grocery/multi purpose store. There was a large fridge in our room but that was the only appliance.
Just wear good shoes as the sidewalks to town are very rough! The pool area is showing its age but was a nice refreshing dip. These are rustic cabins at a reasonable price so don't expect perfection. More hangers would be nice but nothing is drying here quickly!
- Alvaro (10/5): -
- Alvaro (10/5): -
- Shamim (10/5): Excellent stay. Would love to go back - Everything- great location, great staff, good breakfast, lovely hotel
- Esteban (7/5): -
- vibeke (8/5): Centralt med natur som nabo - Fine hytter og pool, og rigtigt gode bruser på værelset.
Godt morgenmad.
Gåafstand til byen, nabo til dovendyrsparken og godt udgangspunkt for turer. Naturen i baghaven og flot udsigt til Arenal vulkanen. Rengøring var middelmådigt.
Meget larm fra trafikeret vej, men ved poolen og de bagerste hytter var der mere ro.
Kunne godt ønske, at der var lidt større plads foran hytterne med et par gode stole.
- Alvaro (10/5): -
- Kevin (8/5): Great location and host at lodges. - Friendly and helpful host who we also booked a tour through. Great location with view of volcano and near to lots of restaurants and gift shops. Could do with a bedside lamp and a shelf in the bathroom to put toiletries bag on but these are just our suggestions for improvements.
- Alexandra (6/5): Pleasant enough - The location is fine for walking around the town. It is very easy to get an Uber to go farther. The property is nice but it is very close to Sloth Park and you must have a wristband for stepping foot on their property. There were a lot of birds nearby. There were no lamps, wifi was bad and the bathroom smelled very strongly of cleaning chemicals. Sloth Park led guided tours that were quite loud to those nearby.
- B L (10/5): Volvería a la Fortuna y que quedaría en Villas Vistas - La ubicación es estrategia realmente está cerca de todo supermercado, aguas termales y restaurantes
El desayuno del hotel le doy un 100 muy buen sabor porciones de un desayuno realmente nada que decir y el personal muy atento Que no me gustó ??? Que no me pude quedar más días los días que fui tope con suerte y el volcán estuvo despejado y se pudo ver todo su esplendor y belleza
- Ángela (10/5): - Habitaciones amplias y cómodas, todo muy limpio. Desayuno estupendo
- Alexandra (10/5): Had a wonderful stay! - It was very beautiful. Great location. Everything was clean. The A/C worked perfectly. Hot water in the shower. Stunning view of the volcano from the pool. Liked the breakfast. Nothing.
- Norman (7/5): -
- Zsofia (6/5): - alles im OK Bereich, Frühstück ordentlich kein Moskitonetz an den Fenster, so musste man immer die Klimaanlage einschalten, die zu kalt war.
