Arenal Volcano Inn

Arenal

Good to Know

Arenal Volcano Inn offers a scenic retreat near La Fortuna, boasting direct volcano views from most accommodations and a rainforest-rich setting. Guests can enjoy spacious rooms with private terraces, an outdoor swimming pool, and a restaurant serving a unique blend of local and Italian cuisine. It serves as an ideal base for exploring Arenal Volcano National Park and the vibrant town of La Fortuna, providing a balance of adventure and serene relaxation.


A swim, a terrace and a view of the volcano

The volcano outlook is part of the pleasure of staying at Arenal Volcano Inn. Near La Fortuna, with rainforest in the surrounding landscape, the inn invites you to make time for a terrace and a swim as well as the adventures that brought you to Arenal. A scenic place to return to can change the rhythm of the whole vacation.

A room with time to enjoy the view

Friendly staff welcome you to spacious accommodation, making an inviting return from a day in the region. Comfortable beds, tasteful furnishings and modern conveniences bring the practical side of the stay together, while the room-specific terraces and volcano outlooks invite you to spend time outside. You can enjoy a quiet moment with the scenery rather than treating the room as a place used only for sleep.

Standard and Deluxe Rooms have terraces and volcano views, while the Junior Suite adds a hot tub. A Casita Deluxe provides a kitchen and living room, and a Two Bedroom Villa brings extra space, kitchen facilities and a volcano-view terrace into the choice. The layouts differ, so use the individual room details to decide how you would like to settle in.

A poolside pause and Italian flavors

The pool area adds another way to enjoy that return: take a swim, settle into a lounger or enjoy a tropical drink while looking out across the landscape. The restaurant's blend of local and Italian cooking gives dinner a particular character, with fresh local ingredients connecting the meal to the region. Together, these are reasons to keep an afternoon or evening free at the inn instead of filling every hour away from it.

Forest walks and town afternoons

Arenal Volcano National Park encompasses more than 29,000 acres of varied ecosystems. A visit can reveal both the forest and traces of past volcanic activity. Walking the trails gives you time to notice wildlife and the changing landscapes, while a guided tour can add context about geology and local ecosystems. Thermal-water visits in the surrounding Arenal region provide a different kind of outing, to be arranged separately from time at the inn.

La Fortuna offers a change of pace from the nature excursions. Browse the shops for souvenirs, explore the markets or pause in a restaurant to sample local flavors. The town's lively streets and familiar conveniences can make a visit feel like part of the vacation rather than simply a practical stop. Staff at the inn can help with recommendations, leaving you free to choose a mix of town time, park walks and scenic downtime.

Reasons to make Arenal Volcano Inn your base

  • Choose a scenic base near La Fortuna: volcano views and rainforest surroundings give the inn a restful character while keeping the town and Arenal-area excursions part of your plans.
  • Keep an afternoon at the hotel: an outdoor swimming pool, comfortable loungers and tropical drinks create an inviting pause after exploring, with panoramic scenery contributing to the experience.
  • Give dinner a distinct flavor: the restaurant combines local and Italian cuisine made with fresh local ingredients, allowing a meal on site to be part of the evening's appeal.
  • Match the category to how you travel: Standard and Deluxe Rooms have volcano-view terraces; the Junior Suite adds a hot tub. A Casita Deluxe has kitchen and living space, and a two-bedroom Villa provides additional room and a volcano-view terrace. Do not assume identical views or layouts throughout.
  • Explore nature with more context: nearby park trails reveal rainforest landscapes and volcanic history; guided outings can deepen your understanding. A regional hot-spring visit can provide a slower counterpoint to the park trails.
  • Enjoy town alongside the landscape: La Fortuna's shops, markets and restaurants offer another kind of day, with staff recommendations helping you choose outings around your interests.

A shuttle to and from town would have been convenient, but we really liked this location. Having the privacy of being in an individual building was really nice!

Barbara B.

perfect for our lifestyle.

Paradise here. For travelers that will visit a hot Springs as part of a tour activity, you do not need a hotel with hot springs on site. This place had THE most beautiful grounds and some of the best food on the tour. The breaksfasts here were also the best of the entire vacation (or tied) with by far the most variety. Just heaven here.

Hotel great although jacuzzi on 2nd nite was only warm with cool water sometimes coming out of jet ports, & couldn't get jets up to good pressure, just light flow. Got too late/tired to find some help and would have asked for help next day if planned to use again. But left too early next morning to ask about, otherwise probably would haved solved since staff always very helpful.

This is a nice little hotel. The staff was friendly and the grounds were immaculate. The restaurant has good Italian food at reasonable prices. Breakfast was a Costa Rican style buffet. We stayed in a Junior Suite which was above the other rooms. There are great views to the volcano when the clouds disperse. The room was large with a small kitchen type of area with a small refrigerator and microwave. The bathroom had a jacuzzi.

Sarah S.

Our view was AMAZING! The staff was great as well as helpful. The rooms were super clean and one of my favorites. The restaurant was nice as well. Great breakfast and I have already recommended it to my friends.

Linda L.

Loved the hotel, it's setting and staff really helpful. Ate in the restaurant every night, booked some additional trips and loved the wildlife in the grounds. Used the pool and hot tub . Both very good . The only downside and it was minor us it was difficult to go on foot outside the hotel due to lack of pavements / busy road so you couldn't walk to other restaurants for example but this was a very minor issue and again would return here

Courtney M.

Great hotel for those on somewhat of a budget. Clean and comfortable rooms with AC and firm beds. The pool was lovely and the staff were extremely helpful. A bit far from town ($10 cab), so didn't venture out much. We stayed in one of the back cabins, so very quiet but up a bit of a hill, which was fine for us but would be tricky with kids or anyone with injuries. The restaurant was basic but good. Overall would recommend.

This was an amazing place to stay. We loved everything from the food to the staff. We felt at home but pampered here! Excellent!

Guest review

The grounds of the inn are beautiful and the staff is very friendly. However in our room the overhead fan was quite noisy and a light on the air conditioner kept flashing.
