This is definitely one of the best hotels we've ever been to! After a day of tours coming back here was like heaven. Bed is comfortable, rooms are spacious, and most importantly the room is very clean. I find myself comparing other hotels to this one. That's how good this place is! :D

We stayed 1 week at La Fortuna Lodge at the beginning of the rainy season (end of May), and had a great stay there. The hotel is ideally situated a few blocks off the main road/centre town, near the edge of the jungle forest. There are plenty of restaurants close by (highly recommend “La Fortuneno”) as well as coffee shops, tourism offices, souvenir shops, grocery/convenience, etc. Many tourist attractions are close to La Fortuna, which makes this hotel a great spot to stay. The hotel itself has a great view of the volcano, and the property is well-kept/clean, modern, and nicely decorated. Our room had a balcony facing the volcano and overlooking the local street. The staff were very friendly, helpful, and go out of their way to make your stay a great one. Thank you to all the wonderful staff, including the housekeeping and kitchen staff, as well as Roy and Daniel who helped us book all our excursions and airport transfers. Everybody there made our special occasion a little more special and memorable. One thing we liked was the customized breakfast, which can be ordered the night before, and if you are going on an excursion you can get it in a take-away box (helpful for early morning starts). You can also borrow umbrellas from the front desk if it rains. The property also has standard safety features, including locked front gates and a digital safe in your room. We did not drive but there appeared to be plenty of parking for those who do. Great stay!

I had an amazing experience at La Fortuna Lodge! The staff went above and beyond to help get shuttles and book my excursions. The breakfast and coffee were great! I could walk everywhere or quickly get an uber whenever I wanted. Beautiful place and would definitely go back.

Hotel was clean and facilities were excellent. Functioning A/C, fan, TV and internet. Common areas quiet and inviting and location is convenient to downtown La Fortuna. The breakfast included was also great! The staff made me a turtle out of towels for my birthday alongside balloons, which was above and beyond and very thoughtful.

We had a lovely stay at La Fortuna Lodge. The facilities are in very good condition. Staff is very helpful but not overbearing. Daniel at reception was great. The location is close to the main drag but two short blocks away so relatively quiet and very safe. The vibe is totally Pura Vida. We would happily return here.

My favorite hotel on my first trip to Costa Rica! Staff was very helpful, welcoming and kind. It had a gorgeous view of Volcán Arenal! Cute deck common area with lots of lounging and games.
