Our take

I would consider Chato Arenal Lodge for its position in Fortuna, 200 meters from La Fortuna Waterfall and close to hot springs and hanging bridges. Air-conditioned family rooms, free Wi-Fi, a sun terrace, a garden, a restaurant and a bar cover the practical side. The 7.6 rating from 44 reviews is modest, so I would read recent reviews before booking and set expectations at comfortable rather than polished.

  • ✓Take advantage of the tour desk to organize your excursions to the hot springs and hanging bridges.
  • ✓Explore the diverse menu at the on-site restaurant, especially if you have specific dietary requirements.
  • ✓Walk to La Fortuna Waterfall early in the morning to avoid crowds and enjoy the tranquility.
