Boasting an outdoor pool and a hot tub, La Finca Lodge is located in Fortuna, 35 km from La Fortuna Waterfall. Complimentary WiFi is available.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 50 km away. The nearest airport is Juan Santamaría International Airport, 98 km from La Finca Lodge. Very quiet and incredibly beautiful place. The hotel territory is a huge garden with paved paths and only 11 bungalow rooms. Everything is very clean, neat and tastefully decorated. There’s a nice restaurant opened for breakfast and dinner. During the day the hotel can organize a horseback riding or an ATV experience. A definite recommendation!

With La Fortuna Waterfall reachable in 32 km, La Tigra Rainforest Lodge features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. It was awesome. It was actually a re-foresting place, they did such a good job. The cabins beautiful, the kitchen excellent and everyone there very nice and welcoming. We heard a lot about the place while there, so interesting. This place has so much heart. We absolutely recommend the night tour. Saw so many different species of frogs.

Located in Fortuna, 4.1 km from La Fortuna Waterfall and 6.3 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio provides accommodation with free WiFi, a garden with an outdoor swimming pool, pool views, and access to a fitness room and a hot tub.

Guests at the lodge can enjoy an à la carte breakfast. The restaurant at Hotel Boutique Casa Del Rio serves local and Latin American cuisine. The hotel was lovely. Our room was stand-alone, with a private terrace and jacuzzi. Everything was very clean, and the reception and restaurant staff friendly and helpful. We frequently walked to the centre which took about 20 minutes.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 23 km from the lodge, while Sky Adventures Arenal is 24 km from the property. Fortuna Airport is 7 km away, and the property offers a paid airport shuttle service. Very private and safe cabin with stunning volcano views. The cabin is well equipped with everything you would need for meals. The benches outside are so cute and perfect to sit down and watch all the beautiful birds that come by. It was one of our favourite stays of the trip?

Set in Fortuna, 31 km from La Fortuna Waterfall and 34 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, Cecropia Ecolodge offers accommodation with free WiFi and a garden with a terrace and mountain views.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 49 km from the lodge. Fortuna Airport is 26 km away. Nohelia, Jay, and their team have truly created a corner of paradise. They are exceptional hosts who make you feel right at home from the moment you arrive. It's clear how much effort, love, and passion they pour into everything they do. They take the time to genuinely connect with their guests and go above and beyond to cater to individual needs. The meals are a highlight—delicious, healthy, and hearty, made with fresh ingredients sourced directly from their garden. Every bite feels homemade and thoughtfully prepared. The lodge itself is a stunning blend of a forest and a botanical garden, teeming with wildlife, especially birds. It's a nature lover's dream. I highly recommend the night tour with Jay—it’s an unforgettable experience. Nohelia is incredibly knowledgeable about the area and Costa Rica as a whole, always ready to offer helpful tips and advice. One thing to note: the lodge is accessible only with a 4WD vehicle, as the last 3 kilometers of the road are quite rough. However, the journey is absolutely worth it. Overall, I wholeheartedly recommend a stay at Ecolodge Cecropia. If I could, I’d rate it 200%. Nohelia and Jay are truly wonderful hosts, and they’ve created a magical place that’s not to be missed.
