Destino Hotel & Hot Spring

Fortuna

"We had a fantastic time! Orlando (the owner), his family, and all of the staff were so kind and welcoming! We really enjoyed the thermal longevity circuit, plus we went tubing down the river which was a blast too! On day 2 we did the cultural coffee, chocolate, tortilla demonstration and we also went on a short hike through the trail where Orlando helped us spot a sloth! We had the pizza at the resort the first night, so then we wanted to try out some authentic Costa Rican and he was able to...

"My family thoroughly enjoyed our stay here, the apartment was very spacious and well equipped with an incredible view of the river from the rear balcony. Definitely plan on staying here again!"

Villa

Arenal Volcanic Villas

La Fortuna

"Omg 10/10. I had a blast staying here. The hot tub came in handy after going hiking. I went during the wet season so the volcano was covered by clouds but I’m sure during the dry seasoning the view is beautiful. Everything was well-kept. The villa itself was nice and elevated inside. Would stay here again. The villa is very nice but it’s also fairly new so there’s a dirt road that leads to it, so when you uber or are using a shuttle make sure to advise them to come to the end of the dirt road....

Top Northern Plains Hotel Reviews

Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa

10/10 Excellent

"A wonderful place to visit!"

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"Lovely property and area. The rooms (all casitas) are stand-alone, private and spacious and have a wonderful sitting porch to experience the abundance of nature. The included breakfast buffet is delicious with a great variety and the ambiance cannot be beat. This spot was filling an accommodation gap, but we wish we stayed here longer. It was our favorite stay in the area (we’ve stayed 3 other places across all trips from 3 star to 5 star {shh of the country, fresh bodies of water, boing cha-ching). If you’re not looking for hot springs on site, consider this gem. We will for sure be back."

The Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal

10/10 Excellent

"This is an incredible place to stay. The rooms are spacious and exceptionally clean. The views are breathtaking, and the amenities are top-notch. There are over 20 pools, slides, a game room, and even access to Club Rio! The only downside is that the food is way overpriced for the quality. I didn’t find anything on the resort that met the value-for-money ratio. Despite this minor flaw, I would highly recommend this resort."

Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

8/10 Good

"You could stay here and experience so much the area has to offer! Zip lining is a bit pricey compared to other options in the area, but their breathtaking mountain views and incredible breakfast are worth it. The entire property is immaculately organized and clean, and I would definitely book again. The hot springs were fantastic, but I believe there might be better ones further down the road. Overall, I would give this place a solid 10 out of 10."
