Our take
A spa bathtub in every bathroom sets Yellow Tree Suites apart from the many cabinas along Route 142, where it sits 2.6 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. There are three room types (Queen Room, Queen Suite and Junior Suite), each with a terrace, a minibar and a dressing area, and the Yellow Tree Cafe is next door. Guests rate it 8.7 from 153 reviews. Two points to read carefully: listings show mountain views rather than a promised view of Arenal Volcano, and some platforms list it as adults-only while others list a children's breakfast.
- ✓Walk or drive to La Fortuna Waterfall at opening time: the 2.6 km is short, and the stairs down to the pool are quieter early.
- ✓Ask for the child policy in writing before booking with children, since platforms disagree on whether the hotel is adults-only.
- ✓Pets are not accepted, so plan a sitter or another base if you travel with an animal.
- ✓Order packed lunches from the hotel the evening before a long day at Arenal Volcano National Park.
Why we love it
- Adults-only tranquility for a peaceful stay
- Private balconies with garden or mountain views

- Convenient location near La Fortuna Waterfall
Why guests love itFor a couple based in La Fortuna for three or four days, the formula works: a terrace, a deep tub to soak in after a day of hiking or rappelling, and a short hop to the waterfall rather than a drive through town. It is a small hotel, not a resort with its own hot springs complex, so plan the evening thermal pools elsewhere along the volcano road. Arenal hides in cloud for long spells, and the rooms face the mountains, so treat any volcano sighting as luck. Families should check the child policy first, because listings contradict each other.
