It’s a quaint, rustic lodge that is on a great location and some great views especially of the volcano. For the price, you can’t go wrong if you’re looking for lodging that’s economical.

The bathroom in our room was run down and shabby looking. Breakfast was excellent. It is a beautiful location away from the busy and noisy La Fortuna, and so close to the waterfall. Staff were great!

Great stay at Arenal Waterfall.
Great location and price. The complimentary breakfast and observation trail makes it even better deal. The only down side was the squeaky old mattresses and neighbors running water for an hour at night.
