Cabanitas Resort

Rustic cabins for days out around Arenal

A clear view of Arenal Volcano and a rustic cabin to return to give Cabanitas Resort its straightforward appeal. Outside La Fortuna, the property suits travelers who want to spend their days exploring the region and keep the accommodation simple. A swimming pool, restaurant and complimentary breakfast bring comfortable pauses into that active rhythm.

The 42 rustic cabin-style rooms suit couples and families, with air conditioning, a coffee maker and a phone. This is a stay shaped by simple charm rather than luxurious interiors. After time on the trails or rivers, you can cool off in the pool, then plan the next day's outing without turning the hotel stay into the main event.

Town and the wider landscape

A 15–20-minute stroll takes you into La Fortuna's center, where a meal of gallo pinto or a drink in town can become part of your visit. The resort does not serve alcohol on the property, so plan a town outing if you would like a cocktail or cerveza.

Around Arenal, rainforest excursions bring possibilities for wildlife watching, with iguanas, monkeys and colorful birds among the animals to look for. Ziplining, canyoning, butterfly-house visits and the Serpentarium offer different ways to spend a day, while a jungle cruise provides a gentler option. Hot springs and waterfalls are regional outings, giving the vacation variety beyond the resort. Keep the camera ready for the scenery as well as wildlife, letting the forest and volcano give each outing its own backdrop.

Practical details for days out

Wi-Fi is accessible in the reception area, and laundry service is available for an additional charge. Parking is provided. Couples, families and groups can plan a shared trip around these details, with complimentary breakfast before exploring and a swim or meal at the resort when they return.
