Camino Verde Bed & Breakfast
We absolutely loved our stay at Camino Verde. The views from our room and from the lounge/breakfast area were incredible. We could easily see the pacific ocean! Breakfast was delicious and the hotel was very helpful with coordinating tours and transfers. Highly highly recommend!!

Monteverde Lodge by Böëna
The balcony room was beautiful and the hotel restaurant is wonderful. We particular enjoyed breakfast and happy hour. It was very peaceful in the hotel. The only point for improvement would be the cleanliness of the pool - it wasn’t very appealing for swimming.

Awesome location; neat and spacious villa right at the foot of Arenal; Highlights are the private hot spring pool, large back yard well maintained, fire pit and finally the unique shower/bathroom in main bedroom :)

Cabañas del Lago
It was a unique place to stay, not far from Fortuna but it was away from the large groups of tourists. The ducks that lived on the little lake there were good at patrolling the property.
