The hotel's meticulously maintained gardens are a true wildlife sanctuary. Birdwatching enthusiasts will find paradise in our open-air dining area, where we place food to attract a wide variety of colorful tropical birds — toucans, parrots and many other species.
The property is so rich in biodiversity that even our night staff often helps guests locate sloths in the nearby trees. Every corner is designed to connect you with nature and immerse you in the serenity of the tropical jungle.

At Hotel Arenal Montechiari we believe that an unforgettable vacation combines three essential elements: comfort, nature and connection. We strive to offer a haven of tranquility where you can disconnect from daily stress and reconnect with the essence of Costa Rica — waking up to birdsong with Arenal Volcano as the backdrop from your own terrace.
Our uniqueness lies in the perfect combination of nature, privacy and accessibility. We have independent bungalows surrounded by tropical gardens, just 10 minutes on foot from the center of La Fortuna. In addition, our gardens are a magnet for local wildlife: it is common to spot tropical birds during breakfast and even sloths in the trees on the property.
Primarily for couples looking for a romantic getaway: private bungalow, volcano views, pool surrounded by gardens and an intimate, peaceful atmosphere. We are also an excellent option for groups of friends (bungalows with 2 Queen beds) and families (family bungalows with 3 Queen beds) who want to share an authentic nature experience.
All bungalows include: air conditioning, cable TV, hot water, mini refrigerator, safe box and private terrace with garden or volcano views. Additional services: free parking, Wi-Fi in common areas, outdoor swimming pool, full breakfast included at our El Sesteo restaurant and concierge service for tours and activities.
The four comments that come up most often are: the friendly and personal service of our staff, impeccable cleanliness of rooms and facilities, the delicious and varied breakfast (served outdoors while watching birds) and, above all, "the best view of Arenal Volcano in La Fortuna" — a phrase that appears again and again in our reviews.
We solve the classic dilemma: choosing between a central hotel without natural charm or a remote lodge far from everything. We offer the best of both worlds — a peaceful, natural setting with bungalows surrounded by gardens, just 10 minutes on foot from La Fortuna center and a short drive from Arenal Volcano National Park, La Fortuna Waterfall and the thermal springs.
Two pillars: an excellent value for money (private bungalows, volcano views, breakfast included at a very competitive price) and a genuinely natural experience. We are not rooms in a building — we are a collection of rustic cabins integrated into a dream landscape where the volcano and nature are permanent protagonists.
Accessible — 10 minutes from La Fortuna center and close to all attractions. Cleanliness — an impeccable standard highly valued by our guests. Attention — warm, friendly and personalized service. Nature — tropical gardens, wildlife and volcano views. Tranquility — the serene atmosphere ideal for rest and disconnection.
