Arenal Volcano Inn

Arenal Volcano Inn, a small inn facing the volcano

Arenal Volcano Inn is a small, rustic inn 6.5 km from downtown La Fortuna, on the road toward the national park. It has the warmth of a family hotel and a view of the volcano from every room, and it suits families and couples who want a relaxed base for a few busy days of rafting, hiking and hot springs.

Why we choose it

• A volcano view from every terrace. Each room has its own private terrace facing Arenal, so the first coffee of the day comes with the cone in front of you.
• A villa for families. The Villa has two bedrooms, two bathrooms and a kitchen, and sleeps 6, which makes it a good fit for a family or two couples.
• Small and easy. Being a small inn means a calm pool, staff who learn your name, and a quick start in the morning.

On the property

The main pool looks at the volcano, and there is a separate children's pool and a heated outdoor jacuzzi for the evening.
