Staff and location are good, but rooms need upgrades, design and decoration doesn't match with the surroundings, bright white lights, white walls make the atmosphere so cool that you never feel in the middle of a rainforest.

This place has a beautiful view of the volcano. The restaurant is great and affordable - no need to dine out unless you want a different scene. The thermal pool is hot and huge and a wonderful place to hang after a full day of hiking or activity. Staff and spa are great. We had the BEST massage to the sounds of a tropical thunder storm - no music required.

We checked in to our room and found it heavily infested with bugs in the seating areas, curtains and bathroom. At least 50 to 60 insects. When we complained of the problem the staff sent someone to spray poison all over the room. When asked to switch rooms, we were told there was no other room available unless we paid an additional $120 per night. Staff refused to refund the unused night and the Manager refused to speak with us without a significant fuss. Terrible service and staff! Expedia did not refund the stay. We left and went elsewhere. Avoid this hotel at all costs!

Our family loved our stay at the Volcano Lodge. It was close to Fortuna and had an incredible view of the volcano. The pool and the 3 thermal hot springs areas were magical. The swim up bar in the hot spring pool was very unique. Breakfast was very tasty each morning and the staff was super friendly. Our bungalow room opened up on a patch of forest where we’d sit on chairs and watch a parade of exotic birds and butterflies fly by. We would highly recommended it!
