Aunty Arenal Lodge

We had a lovely 4-night stay at Aunty’s - in one of the hotel rooms. Laura and the staff there were really welcoming and helpful and the location is beautiful, tucked away at the foot of the volcano, in lush gardens, but within a 10-15min walk from La Fortuna. Uber is well established in the area now and we found that a really easy way to get about. The pools were great and the mini waterfall was great for a warm neck massage! Our ownly criticism was that we had a couple of nights disturbed for an hour or two by dog barking - its not the fault of the property but the surrounding neighbourhood…not an easy one to fix but we had ear plugs so it was fine really. Overall we were very pleased with the stay and would recommend and stay again.

Delightful place to stay, the property is small but tastefully done, beautiful landscaping, pool and swim spa. The individual rms have a king size very comfortable bed, small frig, very spacious. Laura is outstanding, she will arrange any excursions, shuttles, and taxi's. Laura speaks great English!

Loved the value of the place. We had a two bedroom villa with kitchen and laundry room for less than it cost to stay at the thermal spa hotels. There was also hot water in the shower (although we only got it for one day and then the other two there was none—we didn’t know if we’d just gotten lucky the first night, but when we checked out the manager told us that we should have told him the hot water wasn’t working and he would have fixed it). Nice to have a/c in the bedrooms although they only blew at cold temperatures-we had to turn it off halfway through the night). Beds were comfy. No breakfast included but that was ok since we had a kitchen and the grocery store was 5 minutes down the street. Very well located, only a few minutes from restaurants, grocery store and thermal spas. Loved being able to wash our clothes and enjoyed being able to have separate rooms from our boys. We would definitely stay here again!

Had a wonderful stay at Aunty Arenal for our family of 5. Close enough to town/shopping (I'd walk about 1k each morning to the bakery) but far enough to be quiet and away from the throngs. You are a short walk to a coffee tour nearby, and a short drive to the waterfall as well as to the hot springs, activities, and the bustling part of town. From the unit, there is a great view of Arenal when the clouds have moved, the unit is spacious, clean, and sufficient. On site, laundry room, enough comfortable beds, and useful kitchen. The pool was great to cool off in while waiting for the room to be ready, and lots of comfortable hammocks throughout the property. A couple of small wrinkles, not a big deal - our refrigerator was not cold, and the freezer was more of a fridge temperature. There is a shared hot water system so if your shower is cold, give it some time and it will come back. Finally, like much of Costa Rica, be prepared for some rough (dirt) roads and drive carefully. Overall, loved our stay. Already looking forward to the next time!

Aunty Arenal’s Lodge is a unique and beautiful spot just off the main strip connecting La Fortuna and the Arenal/hot springs areas. The property was beautiful and very secure, but unfortunately it was not a good fit for us. The beds were difficult for us to sleep on (my husband and I ended up sleeping in different beds all 4 nights as a result), breakfast included in our daily rate wasn’t served past 8:30am, and the somewhat sporadic heating of the warm pool made it hard to enjoy. We could hear everything outside and inside our room throughout our time spent there- we regularly heard conversations and activities of our neighbors (for better and for worse). Plainly, I think we came into this with higher expectations of a more comfortable stay but we felt more like it was something we had to get through. I imagine those staying in villas may not experience all of these same issues. Again the property itself was lovely- great views of the volcano from the hammock area for example, but it was not a good fit for us.

DON’T TRUST THEM

The food is awful and service is bad. We asked for help from reception from a girl name Laura, she give us a name of a taxi driver the she probably know. We needed to arrive the airport at 10:30 Am and she told us we haft to leave La fortuna at 4 Am. But a 4 Am the price is double instead of at 5 Am that price is regular. The reason she told us to leave the hotel at 4 Am it’s because she said the way to San Jose airport is 3 hours away. We get the airport after 2 hours driving and 4 and a half hour before our flight and paid the taxi driver (Laura’s friend) expensive price because she told us we must leave at 4 Am. SAVE YOUR MONEY, THEY ARE LIARS AND THIEFS !

This place is a hidden gem. The villa we stayed in was well equipped and the property was well maintained. Due to the small size of the property, it is inot stafed 24/7, but they were available via cell phone and they were very friendly and responsive.

Remote yet close to La Fortuna

Laura, the manager, was very helpful, kind, and informative. She set up tours and spa treatments for us, The bungalow had two rooms, a bathroom, and kitchen with small dining room. The pool is much smaller than the pictures indicate. We were very grateful for the washer, and Laura had a line put up to hang out clothes. What was needed were hangars and better lighting in the dining área. Rooms had aircon and a fan. Just outside of the property is an excellent view of Arenal Volcano. The property is very close to La Fortuna. But not necessarily close to all activities such as zip lining, hanging bridges, or ATV riding. Thank you for all your help!
