Offering an outdoor pool and a restaurant, Tifakara Boutique Hotel is located just outside Arenal Volcano National Park in Fortuna where you can enjoy stunning volcanic views. Free WiFi access is available in this hotel. What a magical place. Beautiful property with wonderful staff and a great view of the volcano, when it appears! It was perfect for our two families with teenage kids with the pool, hot tubs, ping pong and pool table. Breakfast was excellent with good variety and coffee/cookies on tap throughout the day was a hit. We loved the night frog tour and being able to walk to the waterfall, and town is just a short drive away. Highly recommended.

Each room here will provide you with cable TV, air conditioning and a terrace. A coffee machine is also offered. Featuring a shower, private bathroom also comes with a hairdryer and free toiletries. You can enjoy the mountain and garden views. The staff was super nice and the facilities are in great condition. Amir and the other staff helped us book the ATV Tour and it was amazing. When it comes to the rooms, we booked the one with a private jacuzzi. It was cozy and comfortable and the fact that they have complementary bug repellent available in the rooms is something we really appreciated.

Situated 23 km from Poas National Park, Pura Vida Hotel offers 4-star accommodation in Alajuela City and has a garden. Boasting free shuttle service, this property also welcomes guests with a restaurant and a sun terrace. There is free private parking and the property features paid airport shuttle service. Great place to stay after a long journey, travelling from the UK. We arrived very late but were warmly welcomed. In the morning we had a lovely breakfast in the beautiful garden. Thoroughly recommend, especially if you're looking for peace and quiet not too far from the airport. Extra bonus: our car hire company (Wild Rider) delivered to Pura Vida, making for a very easy departure.

Accommodation at Hotel Lomas del Volcan is set in spacious wooden cabins with terraces overlooking the gardens. Each one has a fridge, coffee maker and bathroom with a hairdryer and free toiletries. Amazing garden - very well maintained and very beautiful! A lot of different birds and other wildlife. There's also a wild trek which begins from the hotel - it's a short one and gives you a great idea what a walk in a jungle looks like. On top of that the staff was amazing - due to bad weather I had to change the plans we had at the last minute and the staff helped us a lot - Thank you, you are awesome and you made our trip to Costa Rica wonderful!
