Lakeview Arenal 1 Bed Suite, Communal Pool & Gym - 2024 Traveller Awards Winner

Tronadora

Set in Tronadora and only 43 km from Sky Adventures Monteverde, Lakeview Arenal 1 Bed Suite, Communal Pool & Gym - 2024 Traveller Awards Winner offers accommodation with mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking. This recently renovated holiday home is located 39 km from Sky Adventures Arenal and 45 km from Selvatura Adventure Park. The holiday home features a pool with lake views, spa facilities and full-day security. We loved how peaceful, classy and clean the studio is! Great amenities and finishes and the bed was really comfortable. The setting is beautiful and the use of the clubhouse with gym, pool and game room was awesome! The Monday morning community breakfast was tasty and a good chance to commune with other residents and guests. The hosts Ian and Marcela are personable, available and went out of there way to make sure we were comfortable. One of the highlights of a great stay was an amazing reflexology session with Mariela. We also took advantage of a massage in their spa, which was super affordable. The drive from town to their suite was on a short dirt road with great views of the lake, so we chose to buy some food in town to cook in their amply supplied kitchen rather than drive back and forth.

Vulkan Arenal Amazing View Lodge 4 WD

El Castillo de la Fortuna

Situated in El Castillo de la Fortuna in the Alajuela region with Arenal Eco Zoo nearby, Vulkan Arenal Amazing View Lodge 4 WD offers accommodation with free private parking, as well as access to spa facilities. The property has lake and garden views, and is 26 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. The accommodation features free WiFi throughout the property, as well as a terrace and a traditional restaurant. We (1 couple) stayed for 3 days in this beautiful lodge. The lodge is directly located on top of a small plateau of a mountain. The view we had up there is just amazing. The Arenal is exposed really good and sitting at the outside table was a beautiful experience. It is really quiet most of the time, because there is no neighbors. Only during the night it can get a bit loud due to strong winds or rain. The kitchen and bathroom/shower facilties seem really modern. You need a 4x4 car to climb the asphalted road and get to the lodge. The owners were really friendly and communicating was always fast (Whatsapp).

Pie in the Sky 3 Amazing Luxury Home with Lake and Volcano view

El Fosforo

Pie in the Sky 3 Amazing Luxury Home with Lake and Volcano view is a semi-detached holiday home set in El Fosforo in the Alajuela Region and is 13 km from Fortuna. You can relax by the outdoor pool in the garden and make use of the barbecue. A wonderful place! ... Really "in the sky", all around only nature, no view of houses. Very good for birdwatching, toucans come by daily and hummingbirds are everywhere. There is an observation platform. You can see the volcano and Lake Arenal from everywhere on the property and the many armchairs grouped around the house. The people from the agency are very friendly and helpful. We missed some things in the kitchen and bedside lamps, everything was done immediately. You have to know that there are three units on the property. In addition to the large house with four bedrooms (which we rented), there is a (very) small unit in a kind of garden house for 2 people and another house with 2 bedrooms.
