Lodges in El Castillo de La Fortuna

The location was absolutely stunning with amazing views of the Arenal volcano and lake. We loved the various hiking trails, one even led to a water fall where you could swim, so bring your swim suits! We saw so much wild-life nearby on our walks including coyotes, toucans and monkeys. The room was spacious and very comfortable. We loved every meal and found the staff to be super friendly and helpful, wish we could have stayed longer!

Amazing and cozy place place in quiet area! Arenal view is magnificient! And staff so welcome and helpful!

Great location with beautiful view of Arenal volcano! Owners are super nice and they serve very tasty breakfasts!

Very nice owner, beautiful relaxing Lodge in the midst of nature and just a short walk from the Catarata La Fortuna.

Authenticity, people, bar and cocktails.

The view from the room is exceptional. It had all facilities that one needed and very fast wifi.

This was my favorite part of my trip in Costa Rica. It is magical here and I hope I have that chance to visit again. My only regret is not staying longer. I had the breakfast one morning, which was lovely. The facilities are minimal. This is easily managed if planned for. There is no fridge in the little pod I stayed in, but there is a microwave. The microwave was enough for me to have a couple small meals. People have mentioned more counter space would be nice. I found it good enough. I had my things organized under the bed. Having the travel packing pods was useful. It is remote, and I suggest bringing in your own drinking water. I didn't get sick or anything, but as a precaution, that is my advice. There are lovely outdoor seating areas. I traveled with a small collapsible chair. It was great for this location, as well as when I visited beaches in other parts of the country. There are great knock off versions of the helinox chairs. If you bring one for your trip you won't regret it. This place is very special, and I offer these little tips so that you can enjoy this accommodation as much as I have. I cannot express enough how beautiful and magical the location is with the surrounding jungle covered mountains. For context. I am a solo female traveler. I felt very safe in this remote location. I had a suv rental from Adobe (very excellent car rental). I didn't need the 4wd, but had it been raining, then I likely would have used it a bit. Definitely need the high clearance on the vehicle. There was only 1 spot that required the clearance when i visited. I used the downhill assist when driving into the valley. That was very useful, and easier on the brakes. Driving back from Santa Elena in the dark was fine for me. Thank you to the hosts for having such beautiful and unique accommodations.

The place was beautiful and felt very safe and secure. It was close to town. Pool was lovely. Most of all, it was very quiet and peaceful.

Beautiful forest location. Elevated among the trees with big windows to look out into the woods.

It was amazing! Javier took care on all details and supported us with tips and tricks! The breakfast was delicious and the little house is in middle of a paradise. We just can highly recommend this beautiful place with a perfect service!
