Bad Security - Risk of Theft
Reviewed By 763anonymousaThe hotel was lovely. However, my laptop was stolen out of the room, even though it was out of sight. Since they are all separate units, it is easy for people to see if you are in your room or not since cars are parked outside of the rooms. Also, there is no good security. Brian at the front desk was helpful, as was the police, but the owner of the hotel treated us as a problem that wouldn't go away when we tried to figure out what happened. The groundskeeper said the window had been broken for 2 years. If you have no valuables this is a nice place to stay but beware of leaving anything in the room. A rainjacket was also stolen.

looking for a non-spa affordable hot springs day?
Reviewed By Jan Dtermalitas de Arenal is a Costa Rican family fun place to relax. Nine pools of various temperatures are surrounded by trees and flowers. Bring in your own food or purchase at the snack bar. These pools are abour a 10 minute taxi ride from the center of La Fortuna. We didn't intend to spend the day, but found it hard to leave.

Rooms with view to Arenal Volcano Air conditioning Private bathroom and hot water. Cable TV. Parking lot. Free WIFI 1 Cabin equipped with kitchen and refrigerator
Last minute option after being detoured from Guanacaste
Reviewed By JeoviedWe were in our way back home from Liberia but the road was closed by locals on strike. We had to take the Caña-La Fortuna route to get home earlier than the 6 hours delay in the original route however; it was dark and also was raining. Very dangerous for driving so we searched a place to stay for the night. Cabinas Doña Alicia was the Oasis in the desert. Nice and clean rooms and very comfortable beds. Close to restaurants in downtown La Fortuna. Doña Alicia is so kind and helpful. She woke up earlier than usual to prepare our breakfast which was delicious and beyond what I expected.

Beautiful cabañas in a gorgeous environment, sorrounded by the beauty of nature and brids. Very well located, close to town, the waterfall and close to the hot springs
Great stay
Reviewed By settledown64Good value, nice accommodations and hospitable people. Enjoyed the pool and the breakfast. It was a good location close to the volcano and other activities such as a rock jumping spot and hot springs.

Exceptionnel
Reviewed By elsa082019Mon mari et moi y sommes restés trois nuits et ce séjour restera gravé dans nos mémoires. Les petits chalets sont super mignons et entourés par la nature. Ne vous attendez pas au grand luxe, c’est un peu du camping mais en mieux. Les hôtes sont vraiment gentils, ils ont le cœur sur la main. Il parle espagnol et un peu d’anglais mais Édouard, sa femme et nous nous comprenions très bien malgré la barrière de la langue. La nourriture était délicieuse et typique !! Merci à la merveilleuse cuisinière ? Édouard nous a emmené faire un tour de nuit voir les grenouilles, les couleuvres,… et aussi un tour dans le Rio, juste magnifique ! Attention c’est physique et un peu dangereux. Nous recommanderions cet hébergement à tous ceux qui veulent profiter de la nature loin des touristes.

Tourist from the UK
Reviewed By Adam PBeware of the room next to the owner’s office (and front dining room)! Its the image shown in the booking.com profile. Noisy (next to office, so you hear all conversations between guests and the owner, plus her dog barking outside the room window, and phone ringing). Lighting in the room did not allow reading of books - you’d have to use a torch. The only positive is that the room was clean. I acknowledge that other rooms may be much better (I have read sone of the other reviews), even very pleasant and spacious, but my room was unacceptable. I don’t think it should be rented out given its location. You have been warned. I’m sorry I can’t be more positive - perhaps my standards are too high.

Tranquility & hospitality extraordinaire.
Reviewed By asgert2013I had the absolute pleasure of staying at Lumbres del Arenal Cabinas y Villas, for an unforgettable 10 days. This family owned, small resort, located just on the foothills of the Arenal volcano, about 10 km outside of La Fortuna, and 3 km from the Tabacon hotsprings, is just a beautiful hidden gem. In the middle of nature, surrounded by wildlife, and with an amazing vista of the volcano, you can just sit back in the lush garden and enjoy the tranquility. The owners are some of the kindest people I have ever met, and they did more than one could expect, to make you feel at home. The rooms are great at the price, and both clean and comfortable. The resorts own Steakhouse/restaurant "El Novillo del Arenal" is definitely also worth a visit. All in all, I absolutely enjoyed my 10 days here. If you are looking for cheap accommodation in the middle of nature, but close enough to the many attractions surrounding volcano Arenal. If you like me prefer nature, wildlife and tranquility instead of luxury resorts, all while enjoying the amazing hospitality of the owners. Look no further!
