We decided to extend our trip an extra day and came across a great deal at the Volcano Lodge around 70 for the night for a room with a view of the volcano. Please keep in mind this volcano is not active you can only see the the smoke but you cant beat two rocking chairs on the deck with... More

Just got back from spending 4 nights at Volcano Lodge... we had a wonderful time. The rooms were very nice and comfortable, with a ceiling fan, a/c, nice bathroom and a nice little patio onto the gorgeous garden grounds. Frequently we saw hummingbirds and frogs outside. The service was very good as well, very friendly and helpful staff. The cleaning... More

It is a very good place to stay in. The area is big and so beautiful gardens, Volcano view since the volcano steams can be seen from there, so georgeous. Everybody I have recommended this place became my friends, since it is just peaceful, beautiful and excellent customer service. More

As we walked out of our back door - the Volcano is directly in front of you. It was beautiful after a day hiking around the Volcano to come back and just have a drink with it in your view. Food here was very tasty and keep us full - staff is Premium - everyone was helpful and in a... More

I chose Volcano Lodge and Gardens based on a suggestion from a friend who lived in Costa Rica. My experience could not have been better. We did not expect a 5 star resort in a small town like La Fortuna so we were very happy with the accommodations. The room was clean and the customer service of the front desk... More

This hotel is very good and for a good price too! The hotel staff were all very friendly and accommodating. On our first morning, we had our time incorrect and arrived at breakfast after it was closed, not knowing it was 10AM already. Instead of sending us on our way, the hotel staff packed up some fruits and breakfast for... More

Big rooms and baths. Nice grounds. Nice pools and restaurant. Front desk very friendly and helpful with requests. Only downside is that the wireless network does not work in rooms. You have to go to restaurant area for the same. May be it is good to be not connected on vacation :). harder to do trip planning though if you... More

We were here using a Groupon deal and the room and grounds were great! MY only negative was that the Internet was very unreliable and there was no cell signal for my local cell phone unless I marched around looking for a spot with some reception. The other caveat is that to go anywhere you must take a taxi and... More

During our stay in the La Fortuna/Arenal area, we stayed at the Volcano Lodge & Gardens and were more than pleased! Our room had two full beds, a TV, desk, clean bathroom and more importantly, an enormous window with a breathtaking view of the gardens and volcano. The time we were actually at the hotel and not off adventuring were... More
