We have spent 2 nights in a deluxe room at the Volcano Inn. It´s a relatively new hotel with a stunning view. It´s good value for your money! More

This resort is nice looking and well landscaped but the rooms are noisy, especially at night. Trucks often roar by as they climb the steep grade in front of the resort. We lost power several times one night, making it difficult to sleep. There was no light and the air conditioning quit. In addition, when the power came on, the... More

I was travelling in Arenal on my own and wanted to make the most of the area whilst on a break away from the surf.. the ladies at reception are great... like a tight team of concierges, they took care of organising all my activities promptly with good advice (white-water rafting, canopy tour, quad biking, night-time frog watch, hot springs...

Nicely situated about 4 miles out of LaFortuna, the Arenal Volcano Inn (AVI) is in close proximity to most of the local attractions. The grounds are nicely landscaped, and the room was clean and well appointed with a frig, wifi and tv. Our bathroom was huge! However, there was a noticable shortage of counter space in the bathroom for personal... More

We warmly recommend this hotel if you are going to stay in Arenal Volcano area for birdwatching & wildlife photography or just to enjoy the setting and the amazing views on the volcano. We visited the place while travelling in a small group guided tour ( Amerik Aventure ecotours ) back in May with our daughters. We are keen wildlife... More

My brother and I ended up engaged at the same time so we decided to have a double wedding and do it in Costa Rica. We worked with Hernan (co owner) or Arenal Volcano Inn. He was absolutely INCREDIBLE!!!! He put SO much work and effort into making our day beyond perfect, which was even more of a task with... More

Location wise it's pretty much part of the strip of hotels between Fortuna and Arenal. Rooms are good in some ways but little things like lighting and drainage in the bathroom could be improved. The restaurant has good food and service. We booked here because the other hotels with hot pools were all booked out so if we came back... More

Great staff, friendly, and clean. wonderful breakfast buffet with traditional Costa Rican foods. Perfect location to get to the other destinations in the area. Would not hesitate to... More

There is nothing really wrong with this propoerty. The views from some rooms (of the volcano) are stunning and the landscaping is very attractive. The restaurant (italian-themed -- the pizza is pretty good) is OK, and the included breakfast is better than average. The biggest gripe is that the rooms are inadequately furnished. Ours, for instance, had a kitchen area... More
