Volcano Lodge Hotel & Thermal Experience, Thermal resort in La Fortuna, Costa Rica
Volcano Lodge Hotel sits on 12 acres of tropical gardens with direct views of Arenal Volcano and provides 64 rooms equipped with private terraces. The property combines rooms of different sizes, with some offering volcano views and others nestled within dense vegetation.
The hotel opened in 1998 to meet rising tourism demand in the region after Arenal Volcano's volcanic activity stabilized in the 1990s. The property was built during a period when the area became more accessible to visitors following years of heightened volcanic unrest.
The hotel's common areas display traditional Costa Rican architectural features, such as handcrafted roof tiles and broad verandas built from local timber.
The resort features two thermal pools with waterfalls, a restaurant serving Costa Rican cuisine, and a booking service for local activities. Visitors should allow time to explore different areas of the grounds, as the gardens encourage walking and discovery.
Select suites feature private thermal pools fed directly from natural springs of Arenal Volcano. This amenity allows guests to enjoy the region's geothermal heat in complete privacy.
