Montaña de Fuego Inn

Frommer's Review

This large spread started out as a small collection of cabins with a great view and great prices. As its popularity has grown, the prices and a whole host of new rooms have quickly gone up. Inside, the individual cabins are all varnished wood, with sparse appointments. Still, there's no denying that the rooms here have amazing volcano views from their spacious glass-enclosed porches. The deluxe rooms all have minifridges, and some even have back balconies overlooking a forested ravine, in addition to the volcano-facing front porch. The newest suites are large units set over a small artificial lake. Behind the hotel are some rolling hills that lead down to a small river surrounded by patches of gallery forest, where they conduct an adventurous horseback, hiking, and rappel loop tour.

If this place is full, check next door at the Cabañas Arenal Paraíso (tel. 460-5333; www.arenalparaiso.com), which has very similar accommodations and is run by the same family. (The owners of the two lodges are brothers.) Both of these hotels are located 8km (5 miles) outside La Fortuna on the road to Tabacón.
