Booked a guided tour including Arenal Volcano hike, La Fortuna Waterfall and Mistico hanging bridges with lunch included. Our guide, Andres, was very knowledgeable, spotted toucans, sloths, monkeys, for us and even helped us with pictures.

Amazing location to see the volcano, hike, ATV, zipline and white water raft. Downtown is more rustic but several good restaurants. Ubers very affordable. Not really walkable as sidewalks are hit or miss. I wouldn't drive here.

La Fortuna offered so many options to explore. We visited Arenal 1968 since the National Park line was so long. It was an excellent option and had an amazing observatory near the exit of the trail with a bar and fun rope beds.

The La Fortuna waterfall is a must see. Keep in mind that it is 510 steps to go down to the base and 510 steps to come back up. It was worth it.! We recommend the rafting tour and the Volcano hike For the wildlife viewing.

We were there five days and we did the waterfall, hanging bridges, zip lining, coffee, and chocolate tour, and the hike to the volcano, and Baldy Springs. It was a go-go vacation that was absolutely wonderful.

I spent a FORTUNA (fortune) at Fortuna. Besides it being ridiculously expensive it was a great place to be surrounded by nature and all sorts of activities to do. Highly recommend the rafting!

We didn't get to see much of the volcano due to clouds, but the waterfall and orchid tours were gorgeous. Local horseback riding tour along the river with views of local wildlife was allso enjoyable.
"The property was beautiful. The hot springs and pool area were large enough that you didn’t feel like you were all over other people. The cleaning staff made cute towel animals everyday. The restaurant on site was fairly priced and the breakfast was amazing with tons of options. So many things close by and on site to keep the whole family busy-We loved it here! "
"The property is close to downtown La Fortuna. It's right off the main road, which I loved. There's a security guard at the gate at all times. This made us feel safe. The rooms were spacious and fully stocked with bathroom toiletries, minie fridge and coffee maker. No microwave however. The breakfast was buffet style with many fruit options and pastries. It also had an omelet station. We enjoyed it very much. The whirlpool hot tub was amazing! The staff were very friendly and helpful. We truly felt welcomed and enjoyed our stay very much. I highly recommend staying here when in town."
The Royal Corin Thermal Water Spa & Resort - Adults Only
10/10 Excellent
"We enjoyed our stay at the Royal Corin from July 14th through the 17th. In my opinion it’s small to be a resort but the place is beautiful. The staff was very attentive to our every need. I love the fact that it was not crowded. July is considered the rainy season and the off season. That’s probably why it wasn’t crowded. If you don’t like crowds consider going during the month of July. The weather was perfect, maybe in the low 80s during the day. We experience a shower or 2 but it didn’t last long. I would definitely recommend this place. "
"We had a wonderful stay at Lomas del Volcán! The service was warm and welcoming from the moment we arrived, and the entire property felt like a peaceful retreat nestled in the jungle. The rooms are private, spacious, and offer stunning views of Arenal Volcano.
One of our favorite features was the heated pool — it was the perfect way to unwind after a day of exploring. We also loved how close the hotel is to town. It was just a short drive to great restaurants, shops, and activities, yet still felt secluded and quiet.
From the beautiful grounds to the attentive staff and excellent amenities, Lomas del Volcán exceeded our expectations. Highly recommend for anyone looking for a relaxing and convenient stay near Arenal!"
