Set in Fortuna, 4.6 km from La Fortuna Waterfall, Cabañas del Rio offers accommodation with an outdoor swimming pool, free private parking and a garden. The property is located 6.7 km from Kalambu Hot Springs, 22 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park and 23 km from Sky Adventures Arenal. The hotel also provides free WiFi as well as a paid airport shuttle service. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay at Cabanas del Rio! Leo and his team were so helpful and welcoming. The breakfast was fabulous and generous, setting us up well for a day of activities in La Fortuna. And the frog walk was delightful! The rooms were spacious and comfortable, and the aircon was great. The kitchen was well equipped and we cooked ourselves dinner a couple of times, which was a nice change to dining out. It is a bit out of town (which means it's nice and quiet!), but walkable and always easy to catch an Uber.

With La Fortuna Waterfall reachable in 32 km, La Tigra Rainforest Lodge features accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a terrace. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge. We loved the bungalow in the middle of the forest, it's perfect for nature lovers. The staff was attentive and friendly, the restaurant offered delicious traditional meals. Honestly, it was hard to leave.
