Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort

10/10 Excellent

"A beautiful wonderfully maintained resort. Breakfast is excellent and the pools very enjoyable."

Hotel Lomas del Volcán

10/10 Excellent

"We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Las Lomas. The hotel is absolutely beautiful, and our room was comfortable, clean, and offered breathtaking views of the surrounding landscape and volcano. Waking up to such incredible scenery every morning was truly unforgettable. The food was excellent throughout our stay, with plenty of delicious options. What really stood out was the staff—everyone we encountered was friendly, welcoming, and eager to help, making us feel right at home. The only unpleasant experience was at the omelet station on Thursday morning 6/4/26. The lady preparing the omelets seemed a bit rude when we were placing our egg order. Fortunately, this was the only negative interaction we had during our visit. Overall, our experience was amazing, and we would gladly stay here again. Beautiful hotel, stunning views, great food, and exceptional service from the rest of the team. Highly recommended!"

Paradise Hot Springs - Thermal Water & Volcano Views

10/10 Excellent

"We were greeted by a very friendly and helpful front desk at check-in, with very clear instructions about morning breakfast. Excellent hot springs at various temperatures laid out very nicely with privacy. Rooms were very spacious and luxurious and the beds were very comfortable. We were facing the Arensl volcano and can occasionally see the full mountain when it was clear. Nice location, not too far from downtown La Fortuna and other main attractions. Very highly recommend this place for staying, if you visit La Fortuna."

Tabacón Thermal Resort & Spa

6/10 Okay

"The thermal was amazing very well maintained. My only complaint was my room had a terrible mold smell . I didn’t complain at first but then I had headaches they sent somebody to fix but then the smell got worse the next day they offered me another room but I was about to leave next morning didn’t make any sense. The price that I paid I did not excepted that to happened"
