Mountain Paradise Hotel

Mountain Paradise, private bungalows facing Arenal

Mountain Paradise is a quiet hotel of private bungalows spread discreetly through tropical gardens near the Arenal Volcano. The rooms are big, the views point at the volcano, and several come with a pool of their own. It suits couples looking for privacy and romance, and families who want a villa together.

Why we choose it

• A private pool to yourself. Several room types come with a private pool, from the Vista Arenal for two to the two bedroom villas.
• The volcano as the view. Every room page that gives a view lists the volcano, so you wake up looking at it.
• Villas for families. The two bedroom villas sleep five or six, with room to spread out and a pool for the children.

Rooms and views

Each bungalow is set apart in the gardens for privacy, with fine wood furniture and a jacuzzi. The room types include the Casita Premium Room, Villa Arenal and Villa Garabito.

The villas are the stand out: two bedrooms, a sitting area, two bathrooms and a private garden pool facing the volcano. The Bungalow Arenal has a jacuzzi on the terrace rather than a private pool, which some couples prefer. Rooms have a phone, a safe and a hair dryer.

On the property

The main pool sits in the gardens close to the restaurant, which is designed to feel like dining outdoors among the plants, with the volcano in view at dinner. There is a spa for massages after a day of hiking, and a jacuzzi by the pool.

The staff are friendly and quick to help, and the hotel can arrange a ride to the hot springs nearby.

Location and getting there

The hotel is near La Fortuna, so a day in town, the hot springs, zip lining, horseback riding and hikes on the volcano are all close, and we arrange each of them with local guides. Liberia and San José are each about 3 hours away by road.
