Family hotels and homes in Alajuela

Set in Fortuna, 4.6 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Cabañas del Rio offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking and a garden. The property is located 6.7 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, 22 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and 23 km from Sky Adventures Arenal. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. I’m not surprised by the high reviews — the photos show exactly how it is. The place has a calm vibe, great breakfast and coffee, and a garden full of life. The night tour was amazing, with red-eyed and glass frogs. We didn’t see a sloth in the garden but did at Mistico Park and at the hosts’ farm, where we ate fresh rambutans! We didn’t feel like a tourist here but part of the family. Truly memorable stay. Thank you Leo and Rosaura!

"During my stay at La Finca Lodge, it was just what I expected — peaceful, with a relaxing atmosphere that gives you space to rest, yet with activities readily available, like the ATVs, which we enjoyed even in the rain. I highly recommend it. The staff is excellent, and their recommendations are spot-on, always aiming to make sure guests enjoy their time both inside and outside the property. An excellent place to spend your time."
