Chato Volcano Hotels

"Great staff. Rooms are clean. Beds were too soft I thought. Breakfast was great."

"It’s a very 3 star hotel, American standard wise. Old furniture. Parking is an issue."

"The staff were very friendly, great amenities with the thermal pools and shuttle. Able to walk to a great observatory of Arenal but would recommend taking a private car because the walk is steep and long. First day saw a sloth on the walking trail around the dining hall."

"Great place to stay! "

"Breakfast was great and staff was amazing"

"Nice and helpful staff. Good breakfast buffet options. Gorgeous views of the nature and the volcano. Only I wish the restaurant on site wasn’t so expensive…"

"Uniquely beautiful location and world class birding"

"My stay at Fortuna Retreat in Costa Rica was absolutely amazing and exceeded every expectation. From the moment I arrived, the staff made me feel welcomed with their kindness, professionalism, and genuine hospitality. They were always available to help with anything I needed and truly went above and beyond to make the experience special. The rooms were spotless, comfortable, and beautifully maintained, creating the perfect space to relax after a day of exploring. Everything was clean, organized, and felt very peaceful. The view was simply spectacular—waking up surrounded by nature with such breathtaking scenery made the stay unforgettable. It truly felt like a private paradise where you could fully unwind and enjoy the beauty of Costa Rica. If you’re looking for a relaxing getaway with excellent service, clean accommodations, and stunning views, Fortuna Retreat is absolutely the place for you. I would highly recommend it to anyone wanting a peaceful and memorable stay in paradise."

"Very recently stayed at Villa Laurel and couldn’t have been happier. The home is clean and comfortable, the pool is glorious and the view is amazing. We saw so many birds every day and even got to see a sloth on the property. Karina, the host, was very kind and responsive! The home is close to town and dining options, but feels like it is remote. The farm adds a unique feel and adds to the remote feel of the property. We will absolutely book this home, or Villa Sura, another home on the property, for our next La Fortuna visit. It was certainly difficult to pack up and leave, we could have stayed indefinitely :) thank you Karina for hosting us and caring so deeply about your property, it is truly amazing! "
