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.

Each unit comes with a terrace, a seating area, a flat-screen TV and a private bathroom with shower and free toiletries. A balcony with mountain views is offered in all units. This place was the equivalent of heaven on earth. I would consider just buying a ticket to Costa Rica to spend a week here and enjoy total peace and relaxation. Our room was big, with a huge balcony that had two chairs and a hammock. The view is amazing. The place feels so safe that you can sleep with the big windows fully open and be woken up by the horses eating grass outside your window. The WiFi worked great. The shower was huge and with water flowing very well. The location is a big farm so you can even go walk and see dogs, cats, horses, donkeys, chickens, anything. They have a swimming pool and a hot tub that you can use anytime you want. They also offer paid laundry service and they have a restaurant. Breakfast was also included and it was great. The hosts and waiters are all really kind and accommodating. Each room has a private parking spot right outside the room. I mean, I could go on for days about how great this place is. My girlfriend and I almost cried when we had to leave. This place is just so great. Do yourself a favor: if you have a car, avoid staying in La Fortuna and stay here. You'll love it.

The air-conditioned rooms and villas at Los Lagos Spa & Resort Thermal Experience are spacious and comfortable and feature scenic views. All have cable TV, a minibar and safe. Villas have a kitchenette and lounge. The standard and superior rooms are set in different areas of the property. Beautiful well-maintained territory, clean rooms with comfortable bed. Tasty and varied breakfasts. Responsive staff. Very much liked the horseback ride to Arenal volcano through the forest, crossing rivers and swamps. Would not have gotten there on our own. Be sure to wear closed shoes and pants. Also liked the deep tissue massage. The girls are professionals, with knowledge of their business. Thermal springs as an additional bonus after an active day
