Hotel Montana de Fuego

Arenal

Good to Know

Nestled in Arenal, across from the iconic Arenal Volcano, Hotel Montana de Fuego is an eco-resort offering a serene escape. Guests can immerse themselves in warm thermal pools, a swimming pool, sauna, and Jacuzzi, or indulge in volcanic mud baths at Engadi Spa. An on-site adventure center provides thrilling activities like ziplining and horseback riding, while Acuarelas Restaurant serves sustainable local and international cuisine. Accommodation ranges from comfortable bungalows to luxurious suites with private Jacuzzis or balconies, ensuring a tailored stay.


Thermal pools, garden paths and Arenal adventures

Warm thermal pools amid tropical gardens give Hotel Montana de Fuego a natural pause between adventures. Across from Arenal Volcano, the eco-resort brings the volcanic landscape into your stay, with room for a swim, a soak and an afternoon spent enjoying the grounds. It is a setting that rewards leaving a few hours unplanned.

Move between the hot springs and swimming pool, settle into the sauna or Jacuzzi, or let younger travelers enjoy the children’s pool. Engadi Spa adds volcanic mud baths, massages and natural therapies to the possibilities. The pleasure lies in choosing your own pace after a morning outdoors.

Adventure without leaving the story behind

The on-site adventure center gives you ways to explore the rainforest: a rappel and zipline combination, tubing along the Rio Arenal, horseback riding, guided nature walks and birdwatching tours. Farther afield, hanging bridges and volcano-base trails invite exploration on foot through jungle and old lava-flow scenery, while safari floats on the Rio Penas Blancas and boat trips at Cano Negro offer another way to look for wildlife. ATV outings, rafting and canyoneering are also regional options; plan the outings that appeal to you alongside time in the thermal pools.

Acuarelas Restaurant serves breakfast, lunch and dinner. Begin with a breakfast buffet of traditional Costa Rican dishes, then return for local and international flavors later in the day. A commitment to sustainability includes using local ingredients whenever possible, bringing the region into the meal.

Find your own corner of the resort

Air conditioning, cable television, a safe deposit box, mini-fridge, telephone and coffee maker bring familiar comforts to the accommodation. Standard bungalows and Family Rooms keep the focus on a comfortable, budget-minded stay. Superior bungalows add space with volcano and river-canyon views, while Garden Deluxe accommodation includes a private Jacuzzi bath and separate living room. Junior Suites bring natural wood interiors and a Jacuzzi on the private terrace. Lake Suites have private balconies and volcano views, with a position close to the road that is worth weighing when choosing your room. Wi-Fi is available in select areas of the resort.

We liked the hotel and were sorry we were delayed by one night because of a cancelled flight and only got to enjoy one night there. It was lovely.

Fabulous hotel. Great food, great service. Highly recommend

Jason A.

The pullout beds were a disappointment, but they did put a regular queen on one of them in our 2 rooms. The cold hot tub and men's room at the restaurant with no paper at all were the biggest disappointments.

Carrie C.

I would have liked the opportunity to change my room after the first night. Many checked out and we had one of the more expensive rooms for our entire stay. It was also the furthest away so a lot of walking. It would have been nice to switch it up as I didn’t want to pay so much and for the money, it was large and not that nice. Handy having a refrigerator. The bed very comfortable but bath was outdated. Grounds were beautiful! Liked having the market across the street! The soaking pools were lovely! Everyone was pleasant. Massage was nice! Breakfast daily was very good also!

John W.

the staff was great, the food was great they cleaned rooms well...the only issue was mold in bathrooms..they desperately need remodeling...

Teddi L.

front desk staff were not friendly, seemed like we were bothering them when we checked in or went in to ask questions. The groundkeeper however was awesome - he showed us a sloth. Beautiful grounds!
