"While the staff were quite accommodating, the day time manager was quite rude. The room we had booked on the site wasn't available but she refused to even acknowledge that the room even existed. Since there was a festival on we had little choice but to accept another room at the higher price of the original booking."

Frequently asked questions

What is the best area to stay in Arenal?
The best area to stay in Arenal is the area around La Fortuna, particularly along the main road leading to the Arenal Volcano National Park.

This area is the primary base for exploring the region's natural attractions. It's well-developed with a range of hotels, restaurants, and tour operators. The main road, Route 142, connects La Fortuna directly to the volcano, hot springs, and various adventure activities. It's easy to navigate and offers stunning views of the surrounding landscape.

For couples seeking a romantic and relaxing getaway, many upscale resorts are located in the hillsides just outside La Fortuna, offering privacy and direct views of the volcano. These often feature private hot springs, spa services, and high-end dining, providing a luxurious experience amidst nature.

Families will find La Fortuna itself to be a convenient and fun base. The town offers a variety of family-friendly restaurants, and many hotels cater to children with swimming pools and organised activities.
When is the best time to go to Arenal?
The best time to visit Arenal is during the dry season, which runs from December to April, offering the most favourable weather for exploring.

During these months, you'll experience less rain and more sunshine, making outdoor activities like hiking, wildlife spotting, and exploring the natural hot springs more enjoyable. The drier conditions also mean that trails are less muddy, providing easier access to attractions like the Arenal Volcano National Park and La Fortuna Waterfall.

Families often find this period ideal as the consistent good weather allows for reliable planning of daily excursions without the interruption of heavy downpours. The drier climate is also beneficial for those looking to spend extended time outdoors, whether it's zip-lining or relaxing by a pool.

For couples seeking a romantic getaway, the dry season provides great conditions for enjoying the area's natural beauty, from starlit evenings at the hot springs to clear views of the volcano.
