Needs Maintenance and an Urgent Upgrade The resort has great potential but is in clear need of maintenance and an urgent upgrade. Unfortunately, the pictures shown online do not reflect the actual condition of the property. We encountered a serious issue with insects—our villa was invaded by beetles, which truly frightened my daughter. On a positive note, the staff at the reception were absolutely lovely. Upon our arrival, they upgraded us to a larger villa without us even asking, which was a thoughtful gesture. The two-bedroom villa we stayed in is indeed spacious, but it would benefit greatly from better insulation and improved protection from the elements and exterior pests. In its current state, I would not recommend it, but with proper care and renovations, this place could become a gem

Pros: Very spacious, friendly staff, unbeatable views, good local typical breakfast. Cons: No weather stripping on doors so LOTS of bugs get it. Had to ask the staff the clean off the spider webs on the chandeliers. Outdated and worn furniture. If you can handle a very rustic feel and don't mind fighting bugs that are drawn by lights, then this place is great. The views are fantastic. Not close to town and you must have an AWD car to get around.

This property is just up the hill from the Fortuna Waterfall! We were able to walk down and back up. It is a steep hill if you are unable to walk hills it would be better to drive. We stayed in villa 17 which is the furthest away villa! It’s huge and gorgeous! Has a great view from both balconies! It is a steep walk up and down to get to the pool and reception desk. If you are older I would suggest a closer villa. We enjoyed the walk though! They are remodeling right now so we had to eat breakfast (which was included) at a restaurant down the hill called Geckos! Definitely worth going to! It was soooo good and it’s a dog rescue!!

We had a wonderful time at our little bungalow. It was a two bedroom with a kitchen and our own private pool. We were in the jungle so we had a lot of activity at night, but it was fun and well worth it.

We stayed in Tree House Villa #17 Toucan. It was so relaxing and roomy, surrounded by the sights and sounds of Costa Rican nature. We were very comfortable and pleased with our accommodations. It could use a few little touch-ups, nothing to complain about. It was great to have a stove, which was used for meals. Staff were very helpful and friendly. Checking in and out was easy. Maintenance crews were always busy cleaning. The included breakfast was good. The only downfall was having to leave the property for breakfast. That being said, the restaurant was managed by very helpful and friendly people, just like the property itself. It would be so nice to have a restaurant on site though.

This was an amazing slice of beauty and paradise!!! We ended up staying here in one of the Villa's after our previous accommodations didn't work out. The only thing I will warn people about is if you choose to stay in one of the Villa's prepare to do stairs (a lot of stairs!) However, even with this the stay was peaceful, wonderful and the views were breathtaking. The best part was that each Villa has its own Wi-Fi so that you aren't fighting for Wi-Fi speeds! This is also somewhere that is pretty close to some amazing dining options!

Place was not the same as it show on the internet. Sheets were dirty and shower knob couldn’t turn off completely. I originally booked for 4 nights, I left after the first night. I asked if I can get a refund for my remaining days and was told no. I explained to front desk how I wasn’t comfortable staying there, he acted like he understood but clearly not. I would not recommend this place to nobody!!

Our time at Arenal Waterfall Lodge was an unexpected delight. The cabin we booked was nicer than we expected - tucked away in the jungle with a screened balcony complete with hammock and loads of windows to enjoy the outdoor view. It also had a kitchen; we didn't need it but the fridge and full size coffee maker were appreciated. A nice breakfast was included in the rate as well as access to the 2 1/2 hour trail. We came to LaFortuna to enjoy the outdoors and how convenient to have a trail head for a good hike right on property! Getting to the cabins requires a drive down the hill on what we have come to expect as typical Costa Rican roads - in need of repair but passable. Overall we thoroughly enjoyed our stay and will be recommending it to our friends and family for their next visit to LaFortuna.

Arenal Waterfall Lodge was great. Older hotel but very clean. The staff at the hotel were all super friendly and accommodating. The grounds around the pool area were well kept and it was very relaxing to sit and listen to the birds. Breakfast was very nice and the staff were also very kind. It was delightful to meet so many nice people at this hotel. They had a super sweet dog on property that followed us on some trails and met us for breakfast. Really cool. I will definitely stay here again. Very peaceful property!! Pura Vida!!

Pics online are minimum 10 years old. Room sizes are not accurate either. All rooms are way smaller than advertised. We stayed in a one bedroom suite that was supposed to be 1000 square feet. Barely 400. Think state park cabin. Not suite. It was very private and other that typical tropics rust in stuff the room worked. The whole resort is very run down though
