Montaña De Fuego Resort

Montaña de Fuego, bungalows facing the volcano west of La Fortuna

Montaña de Fuego is a bungalow resort at the foot of Arenal, west of La Fortuna, set in tropical gardens on fertile volcanic land. It is close enough to town for dinner out and far enough to be quiet at night. With hot pools, a spa and an adventure park on the property, it suits active families who want everything in one place.

Why we choose it

• Thermal pools and a mud spa. Three thermal mineral pools and a spa that uses volcanic mud make the end of the day easy.
• Adventure on site. The resort runs its own adventure park for canopy, river tubing and horseback riding, which saves time in the van.
• Volcano views from the terrace. The Superior rooms face the Arenal River canyon and the volcano, and the Standard rooms see the volcano from their terrace.

Rooms and views

The rooms are rustic and cosy, most of them bungalows with a private terrace. Choose from the Family Cantara Standard Room, which sleeps up to five, the Standard and Superior Bungalow Rooms, the Garden Deluxe Room, the Junior Suite Bungalow and the Lake Suite.

A note on views: the Superior and Standard bungalows face the volcano, while the Deluxe rooms look over the gardens and the Junior Suites face the mountains. If the volcano matters most, we will book a Superior. Rooms have a TV, a phone, a safe and a hair dryer.

On the property

Besides the thermal pools there is a swimming pool with jacuzzis, gardens to walk through and trails into the forest on foot or on horseback. The resort even has its own small lake.

The spa does massages and treatments, a shop sells local crafts, and the restaurant keeps everyone fed after a busy day.

Location and getting there

The resort sits on the road west of La Fortuna, so the town, the waterfall and the national park are all short drives, and the adventure park is a walk away. Liberia and San José are each about 3 hours away by road, and we arrange the driver.
