Featuring a bar, the 4-star hotel has air-conditioned rooms with a private bathroom. The accommodation provides a 24-hour front desk, airport transfers, room service and free WiFi. Everything was fantastic, can't fault a single thing about this hotel. The setting at the restaurant is what dreams are made of. As we sat down to have lunch on our first day there was a sloth climbing down a tree with the volcano in the background.

Offering an outdoor pool, relaxing volcanic hot springs and a restaurant, Hotel El Silencio del Campo is located 6 minutes’ drive from Fortuna. Free WiFi access is available.

Each room here will provide you with cable TV, air conditioning and a terrace. A coffee machine is also offered. Featuring a shower, private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer and free toiletries. You can enjoy the mountain and garden views. It was the best hotel during my entire trip. Some improvements and comments (see below) did not affect the overall rating and I would gladly stay there again. I loved the nature around the hotel which is well taken care of, you can clearly see great work of gardener. Also, taking care of animals (e.g. feeding birds) is a nice practice. The views to the volcano are amazing. Hot springs were the highlights of my staying - clear and warm water surrounded by lush green nature and flowers. I do not know if the hotel was full or not but there were always plenty of sun beds and spots in the hot springs. People also seem to respect the place as there is no noise. The lady who worked at the bar was extremely nice and helpful and she made the best cocktails (not sure the name Maya, or Maria?). She also helped me to spot the sloth near by. You could clearly see she enjoyed her work. The room was very spacious and clean with all required amenities. Extra point for availability of repellent. The staff at the reception and restaurant was very friendly and helpful. As a customer you get a nice gift - a hotel bag. I can definitely recommend Hotel El Silencio del Campo.

Situated 23 km from Poas National Park, Pura Vida Hotel offers 4-star accommodation in Alajuela City and has a garden. Boasting free shuttle service, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. It's a perfect stay after a long flight! It is very closed to the airport located in a beautiful garden. so you can perfectly start your Costa Rica trip there. The breakfast was delicious and the stuff very friendly and helpful. We booked our car through the hotel. Bernie, the hotel owner, managed this for us in advance and the car was delivered in the morning directly to the hotel. This was great. We definitely recommend that hotel!

Surrounded by 300 acres of lush rainforest, Chachagua Rainforest Hotel offers charming accommodation and an outdoor swimming pool. This resort has a beautiful setting outside Chachagua and 15 km from La Fortuna city center and 32 km from Arenal Volcano. The location is amazing, your own hire car is highly recommended. The resort is a unique nature experience with passionate welcoming staff. The hot springs, river, both restaurants, guided walks were all amazing. Only regret is not staying for 4 nights instead of two.
