Excellent location! Walking distance to Fortuna town and very close to all the tourist spots in Arenal. The views of the volcano from the balcony are breathtaking and you are easily tempted to just spend your day on the balcony with this view. Great pool area and pool bar and resto, nice hot tubs, very good breakfast, very clean property (staff spotted cleaning the balcony ceilings). We had booked a more expensive property which had its own hot springs but we're glad we canceled and booked here instead. Everything you need with a better location, great view and an Uber ride away from a day pass to the many hot springs. Highly recommend!

My recent stay at Hotel Magic Mountain SPA & Conference center was unfortunately not up to expectations. The Wi-Fi connectivity throughout the building was extremely spotty, making it difficult to stay connected or get any work done. Additionally, the TV in my room didn’t work because the cable wasn’t properly connected. While this may seem like a minor issue, it was frustrating to deal with after a long day of travel. To add to the inconvenience, the restroom door wouldn’t close properly, which impacted my comfort during the stay. I believe these issues could be easily resolved with better maintenance and attention to detail. I hope the management addresses these concerns to improve the overall guest experience.
