I stayed at Hotel Lavas del Arenal as part of a tour with Intrepid. Personally I wasn’t keen on the location - I would have preferred to have stayed more centrally so I could enjoy exploring the many shops and restaurants there. The hotel is a good 15 minute drive from La Fortuna and not walkable, so using taxis are essential. Having said that I did enjoy my one night stay here. My room was a decent size, clean and comfortable. The AC worked well, and the grounds of the hotel were lovely. There is a swimming pool with sun loungers, and hammocks available. I paid to have breakfast at the hotel as there are no other options in the area - which was substantial and adequate. In a nutshell I did like this hotel, but based on the remote location it is not somewhere I would have chosen and booked myself.

Luis is the manager of this hotel and the man never stops moving! He was so accommodating it was almost unbelievable. Sophia takes care of the cooking and cleaning and she is so talented. The food at the restaurant is delicious and we will surely miss it. The hotel itself is simple, but quiet and incredibly clean. The beds and pillows are on the firm side, but even though we are picky about our sleep, this was not an issue at all and worked out just fine. And the most amazing thing was that our laundry was cleaned and folded for us! What a treat! The hotel is not located downtown, so you will need an uber to town, which was simple. But the perk of being outside of town is the privacy. The only noise we had was cicadas and howler monkeys from the rainforest in the backyard. Most evenings after our daily tours, my husband and I had the pool to ourselves, and it was so peaceful. Also, if you’re missing your pet from home, Rocky (the hotel mascot pup) will come to fill that hole in your heart and give you some love! We truly enjoyed our stay, thank you!

Simplistic room but had air con and a powerful shower. Both important to me especially in such humid environment. The grounds were really well kept and lovely inviting pool. Not centrally located..need.to grab a taxi for town. Good breakfast.

Property grounds were nice. Very green. Good bird watching. Hotel room was average, but clean. Beds were fine. Not the quietest hotel, but OK overall. Staff was very kind. Breakfast made on site, nothing exceptional though. Didn't try the pool but it looked clean and refreshing.

Luis & family were most hospitable- the entire adventure was very organized! Communication was impeccable! The breakfast served was delicious, filling & healthy. The grounds were beautiful and well-maintained. Only a short 3 mile drive to La Fortuna. The room was very clean and well-stocked. We hope to return again!

Quiet and in the middle of rain forest beauty.... Luis and Sophia were our hosts and they are the friendliest loveliest people. Daily laundry service and home-cooked restaurant 100ft from the rooms. Wildlife outside your windows. 5 star experience.

Points forts • Air climatisé • Grande chambre avec lits confortables • Petit-déjeuner disponible sur place, mais pas inclus avec la chambre • Propre • Belle piscine avec bel environnement, j’ai vu des toucans :) Points à considérer • Emplacement loin de la ville de la Fortuna, besoin de prendre un taxi/ uber pour s’y rendre

I was with my family on a 10-day vacation during the Dec 2023 holidays and we thoroughly enjoyed our stay. Luis and Sophia were exceptional hosts, and everything was meticulously organized by them. We never felt away from home. The kids loved it. Thanks, Luis, for making this one of the best vacations for our family.

They hosted our school group (and there was more than one school) and did great providing meals (breakfast and supper) and the grounds were beautiful. It is a 5110 minute ride outside of La Fortuna but nice and quiet off the path. Rooms were simple and AC very cold.
