10/10 Exceptional

We spent 4 fabulous nights at the Arenal History Inn. Our flight was delayed 3 hours which in turned delayed our arrival. They stayed in contact with us and someone was there at 730pm to get us checked in. The Bungalow/ casita was very quiet and peaceful. We stayed in Bungalow 10. Furthest from the street. We could not hear road at all. The breakfast each morning was delicious. The pool was cleaned each morning. You can tell they take cleanliness very important around the entire property. We have only 2 suggestions for the property owner. 1. Maybe provide either a QR Code or small info sheet with general info about the hotel (pool rules, code for the smart tv, breakfast protocol, and a reminder about the Toilet paper rules in Costa Rica). 2. Maybe have either a mat or shoe tray for sandy shoes to help reduce sand inside the casitas. But overall 10 out of 10. Great location. La Fortuna is only a few minutes away. But Zete Trece has plenty of food options in town.

Private affordable clean cabins
Lovely little spacious inn and grounds just a few minutes drive from town and another few minutes drive in the other direction to Baldi hot springs. The rooms are roomy with high ceilings, quiet AC unit, and surrounded by lush greenery. For some reason I thought we would be able to view the volcano from the front porch but that is not the case. The pool was refreshing, breakfasts offered by the Peruvian restaurant were good with friendly service. We ate at the Peruvian place one night for dinner and it was delicious. There are a few other good food options that are walkable including the friendly pizza place across the street. Can’t go wrong with the History Inn, it was a great deal!

Piece of Paradise in La Fortuna
This is a hidden gem in La Fortuna! The grounds are beautiful, the restaurant is fantastic, and the rooms are updated and very comfortable. I just can’t say enough good things about this hotel. Even the pool was welcoming and refreshing. The free breakfasts were incredible and we also received a nice little touch in the room for my daughter’s birthday. I would stay here again in a heartbeat - you won’t be disappointed.

Nice property. But the hotel name was not there in front of the property. It took sometime to find the place.

The cabana style room provided a great atmosphere for the property and the surrounding plants and trees make you feel like you're on the doorstep of the rain forest. Pool and on-site restaurant are nice. Plus many local restaurants within walking distance.

Perfect spot for La Fortuna trips
We had a wonderful time At the Arenal history Inn. the staff was attentive and courteous. They help us with everything and if we needed to they had all the advice we needed for travel. The location is perfectly located around some souvenir shops, restaurants, and grocery stores and short drive from the Arenal volcano and other tours in the area. The only issue is that we could not handle the shower it was either scorching hot or freezing cold no matter what we did and how much we asked that couldn’t have been fixed. It’s definitely not a reason not to go back, but it is something to know if you need a good shower after a long day of hiking.

What a beautiful property, and great team members! The bungalows are perfectly set back from the road to minimize the street noise. We didn’t require service during our three nights, but did swap out towels on the second day. The pool was clean, and had a beautiful view of the volcano and neighboring mountains. Hazel the breakfast host was lovely, and was always singing :) We brought a reuseable water bottle and the staff happily filled it with ice and water each morning before we left for the day.

This property is fantastic. The rooms are individual chalets with a private covered porch. The grounds are beautiful with a view of Arenal Volcano right from the room. Our room was fully updated and in beautiful condition. The staff at both the hotel and restaurant were accommodating and so friendly. Seriously, if you are visiting the La Fortuna area, you need to stay here. You will not be disappointed.

6/10 Good

A bit disappointed but it ended up working out fine. Nothing special. Smaller property, busier area, and closer to the road, than we expected compared to the photos. The cabin was very pretty inside with vaulted ceiling. The terrace was fine. The shower was the worst! No water pressure or hot water. It was hot outside so we managed. Beautifully maintained garden and view of the volcano. We enjoyed relaxing by the pool. The restaurant staff and front desk attendant were all very friendly and helpful. Nice to have breakfast included. The dinners were on the pricier side, so we opted to eat at better rated places nearby. The room met my most important needs which was a clean, comfortable room with queen beds and air conditioning that was located outside of town.

10/10 Exceptional

Our family of 4 had a wonderful stay. The hotel rooms were conveniently located near restaurants and shopping (souvenirs, grocery store, laundry mat) but far enough from the street and noise to feel secluded and intimate. It’s also on the closer side of town to the volcano and thermal pools, which is great for those activities but means it’s about a 20 minute walk into the main part of town. The grounds were beautiful and we woke up every morning to lovely bird songs. The room was really nice, modern, and clean. The included breakfast was yummy (plate of fruit, coffee and tea, and then you order from a menu that offers 6 options of American and Costa Rican food). The receptionist was very nice too. And surprisingly our room was ready a couple of hours early. The pool was clean and well maintained but nothing extravagant. The only downsides were the receptionist is only available from 8am-6pm and the water temperature in the shower was difficult to control (but it was a nice shower with good pressure). We definitely will stay here again when we come back.

The hotel was better than expected. The grounds are beautiful, the pool with day beds made it so much more inviting, and the rooms were extremely clean and comfortable. We could walk to nearby restaurants and make a quick drive into town. The daily breakfast was a also a great way to start our day. They offered coffee, juice, fruit, American and local breakfast options. Overall it exceeded our expectations. We stayed there for 3 nights and enjoyed our nights after our busy days.
