Find Your Perfect Stay in San Carlos by Travel Style

Arenal Xilopalo Hotels in San Carlos

Arenal Xilopalo

"This was the perfect hotel for a stay in La Fortuna. It's wood and unique design, with an amazing view of Arenal volcano is ideal. It's perfect if you want want to stay in a hotel that reflects what this area is all about - nature. It fits in with its surroundings perfectly, and it's tucked away at the end of the road so it's very quiet - save for the frogs and birds serenading! Also, it's good value and has everything you need to wait out the rain, or enjoy breakfast and dinner."

Viajero la Fortuna Hostel Hotels in San Carlos

Viajero la Fortuna Hostel

"Perfect location for everything in town. Staff are friendly but also leave you too it. The pool as bar area are cool and popular at night so may be noisy depending on which room you have. There are enough basic facilities but no hairdryer!"

Hotel Campestre del Arenal Hotels in San Carlos

Hotel Campestre del Arenal

"Very complete for the family. Close to the center of La Fortuna"

Hotel Linda Vista Hotels in San Carlos

Hotel Linda Vista

"I have to say that the price-performance ratio of the ordinary room is very high. It is located on the top of a whole hill beside the volcano and volcanic lake. The staff at the front desk are very enthusiastic and patient. The view of the infinity pool is also unrivaled nearby11. When we lived on the 16th, I loved the balcony. I sat on the bench there and enjoyed a few days of isolation. However, I recommend that friends with higher living standards choose the hotel's exquisite suites, which are sanitary in ordinary rooms. The room was a bit cramped and there was no refrigerator or hair dryer. Breakfast is set 1. There are not many choices. The fruit is only a small piece of pineapple, a small piece of watermelon and a small amount of papaya. We asked for an extra piece of fruit on the first day but we were charged $2 for the second day. Because the restaurant at the foot of the mountain is about a kilometer away, we also had dinner at the restaurant, which tasted good."

Volcano Lodge, Hotel & Thermal Experience ★★★★
"A nice hotel, a bit far from the center, with excellent thermal waters, attentive staff, and a good breakfast. The room, although large, is old and urgently needs modernization, as well as amenities like bathrobes for going back and forth from the thermal waters."
