“A beautiful view and friendly staff”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 May 2013 NEW

We were booked in Hotel Magic Mountain as part of a package, and thus didn't know what to expect, but at every point, it met or exceeded expectations. The rooms were pleasant, with every one having a view of the volcano and a balcony. The staff was very helpful when we ran into trouble, the breakfast was tasty and the... More

I went on holiday to CR with my parents and we couldn't have missed visiting Arenal area, where we did excursions to the national park and waterfalls on hanging bridges, went to the hot springs, enjoyed canopy and rappel. There are so many things to see and do in that area. The hotel in Fortunal has a great location, you... More

“Beautiful View to Arenal Volcano”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 14 May 2013

It is a small hotel but very clean and nice. Our room is on the third floor (room 308). We have the perfect view to the arenal volcano....can't complain. We really enjoyed our stay there. Downtown La Fortuna is only 2 miles from this hotel so you can walk there....15 minutes walk. Restaurants are next door to this hotel.

“Value for money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 11 May 2013

Nice and clean hotel located on the edge of la Fortuna and thus ans unspoiled view on the vulcano. Clean and attractive swimming pool. Excellent place to stay for visiting the numerous attractions in the area. Probably not the most abundant hotel in the regio but a good price/quality balance.
