ARENAL VOLCANO INN
A magnificent vista of fire and smoke awaits you each morning at
Arenal Volcano Inn. Enjoy a cup of locally grown coffee on a private
terrace and watch the gray clouds crowning the summit of the volcano,
as if to separate the verdant mountainsides below from the billows
of smoke and ash above. Only at this charming boutique hotel can
you enjoy the spectacle of Costa Rica's most active volcano from
a private terrace or the sparkling pool and Jacuzzi. With just 25
rooms, this cozy retreat is perfect for anyone who wants to escape
the daily grind. It's far enough from town for real peace and quiet,
but close enough to satisfy your cravings for a little excitement.
Start with a couple's massage at the Garden Spa and let the tropical
locale set the tone for the traditional relaxation techniques. Or
maybe you'd rather sample the marine seaweed, volcanic mud and aloe
vera wrap to nurture your skin. For families on vacation, the kids
will be happy to know that they can have pizza or spaghetti for
dinner at Que Rico Arenal Ristorante & Pizzeria. Parents can enjoy
food meant for more discriminating tastes, such as the steamed fish
fillet topped with amaretto, almonds and butter. Or if you feel
really adventurous, order casado--a typical Costa Rican dish with
rice, beans, cheese, fried plantains and salad. You'll find lots
of exciting things in this area of Costa Rica. La Fortuna is just
a few miles to the south and east of Arenal Volcano Inn. Hiking
enthusiasts love the trails on the more active northwest side of
the volcano. If you like horses and waterfalls, you'll love a horseback
riding tour that takes you to the breathtaking, 213-ft La Fortuna
Waterfall. After a day of adventure, you'll be pleased by the comfort
of the Standard Room. Sitting on the private terrace with its great
view is the perfect way to unwind and plan tomorrow's adventures!
Arenal Volcano Inn is located 4.03 mi north of the Catholic Church
of La Fortuna Town. It has 15 rooms with excellent views of the
Arenal Volcano. La Fortuna is a three-hour drive from Costa Rica's
capital city of San Jose.
