Top rated hotels in San Carlos

Socialtel la Fortuna - Formerly Selina la Fortuna
4/571 Reviews
Whilst this is technically a hostel, it is far better than some hotels we stayed in! Rooms are great (good air con, hot water, good storage); facilities superb (pool, business lounge, kitchen/food prep area, pool table, great bar); well organised trips (the zip line followed by hot springs is a must!); very helpful staff; and the food delicious (tuna steak with salad delightful)
Hotel Arenal Lodge
4.1/5101 Reviews
We had an amazing time at Arenal Lodge! We traveled as a family of 4 and spent the first half of our trip at Arenal Lodge and the last half at an all-inclusive along the coast! This location was by far our favorite! On arrival, we were upgraded to a family suite - two connecting rooms, one with 2 queen beds and 1 with a king bed. The beds were quite comfortable. Each room had a balcony facing the Arenal volcano. We (luckily) had amazing views of the volcano each morning/day! The lodge itself is a little outdated but we somewhat expected that due to the location. The pool was not clean when we arrived but by the next day, it was clear! We were not as lucky with the 2 hot tubs – they remained dirty and unusable for our stay. However, they were not a necessity with the temperatures! Falling asleep to all the sounds of nature and animals took a little getting used to, but was surprisingly relaxing. We enjoyed a late-night rainstorm, which was amazing! The drive to the lodge from the main road is cobblestone, quite windy, and takes roughly 15 minutes. I would recommend renting a car for your trip. It is difficult to obtain a ride into La Fortuna, which is roughly 20 minutes away, and you will be charged an extra fee from excursion companies to make the trek up to the lodge for pick-ups. The lodge does have a transport van but this is for staff use on the property grounds. We ate in the restaurant each night – there was not a large selection of items but each item we ordered was good. The bar area has large windows that open and occasionally green tree frogs make their way inside! We spent time each day on the balcony, talking and enjoying the spectacular view, playing pool in the bar, and taking in a very different culture from our everyday life! It was an amazing experience, to say the least!
Hotel Las Colinas
3.7/540 Reviews
I stayed in this hotel for 3 nights as part of a trip with GAdventures booked through trail finders in the UK. We were checked in to what I think must have been the worst room in the hotel. It was at the back and over looked a side alley. We quickly showered and went to meet our group for dinner. When we got back, we noticed this god- damn awful smell which was coming from the drains and the water hadn't drained from our shower a few hrs earlier. Drains are notoriously bad across CR. We went to reception and the guy couldn't have cared less. We insisted he come and smell for himself. Well, he just couldn't have been more patronising or belittling. He said he couldn't smell it, he accused us of 'just showering' when we showed him the water and refused to do anything ie is clear the smell or move us. He said quite clearly numerous times, the hotel was full. We were left with no choice than to contact our Rep. Strangley enough we were given a different and much better room immediately. When we left, a lady came to our bus, thanked us for our custom and said they are a family run hotel. Clearly explained why the chap on reception couldn't give a hoot - he was hardly going to be sacked! Young ish guy, curly hair tied back in a pony tail. Poor Ester who came to say goodbye has no idea. He best things about this hotel are the friendly staff in the bar below, the view of the volcano from the terrace, and its only a shirt walk from the best place to eat in town- the rainforest cafe opposite (and Andreas is the best server!) but apart from that, I'd avoid it at all costs
La Fortuna Downtown Hotel Boutique
4.1/575 Reviews
Great location, walk to shops and restaurants. Free secure parking available in front of the hotel with 24 front desk staff, or a block away in a secure lot. Check in and check out was easy, staff were accommodating and friendly. Prices are reasonable for location and amenities. we ate breakfast in the hotel restaurant 2x, it was very good, with a nice atmosphere. The pool looked inviting, although we did not take advantage of it. We were in room 3, over the front door facing the street. We could see our car out front(comforting), and had a great view of the church and park grounds. Bed was very comfortable(great pillows), air conditioning worked well, and the shower was decent! Being downtown, it is very busy, but we were not bothered by noise at night, really loved being able to walk everywhere, and could even see the volcano from our room.
Rio Danta Hostel
4.3/56 Reviews
Nice place to stay in La Fortuna, book for 2 days and I stayed 5. Pleasant staff, the owner is very friendly and young; the place has a gym, coworking, yoga area, equipped kitchen and lockers. There are bad comments about this property, but the owner told me that it was from before he owned the property and it must be true because the place does not look like what it was before and the owner is very young. Thank you for everything and I hope to come back!
Hotel Campo Verde
4.4/547 Reviews
My husband and I enjoyed our stay here just outside of the La Fortuna *****, nice to be out of that fray, but still be a short drive to things, a good restaurant for lunch near by (the soda, go left out of campo verde), and closer to Arenal. the cabins were good. They weren't sealed super well so I was worried about bugs but there were none. The view out the window of the surrounding garden and/or Arenal is wonderful and the birds are very entertaining. We sat out one slow morning on the patio and watch toucans, vultures, hummingbirds and a zillion other kinds of birds. The buffet breakfast is nice and easy. The A/C worked well, there is a safe and a fridge, no microwave. The cabins are a little dark and dreary on the inside, they just need better lighting and the one table is too small to even play cards on, but they are still cute cabins in a nice setting. I didn't use the spa.
