Arenal Hostel Resort

La Fortuna


A combination of hostel and resort, this sprawling place is arranged around a landscaped garden complete with hammocks, small pool, party-place bar and volcano view. Rooms are clean, spacious and air-conditioned, with en suite bathrooms. A word of warning: a recurring complaint is that reservations were ‘lost’ or clients were ‘bumped’ to Hostel Backpackers La Fortuna (owned by the same people).

There's a number of places with very similar names in town, which causes confusion for customers and taxi drivers alike.
