Quaint bungalow
It was as expected, the room was clean & size was okay. Large shower. The refrigerator was not very cold (might be a Costa Rica thing), breakfast was good!! Wildlife was loud, also as expected. Rooms are not sound proof (you will hear your neighbors). If noise bother you, bring ear plugs. The location was close to town.

Close to everything you want to see around Volcan Arenal. Convenient to La Fortuna. Howler monkeys and rain pounding on the roof complete your night time experience.

Awesome hotel in La Fortuna
We stayed at Arenal Green hotel for 4 nights. The location is great, outside of the main hustle and bustle of the town. It is in easy walking distance of the waterfalls and zip lines. The owner is super friendly. He is there all the time and tries everything to show you a good time. He suggested the day pass for Baldi hot springs which we bought through him and got it for much less than at Baldi. He noticed that I am always hungry, so "forced" a second breakfast on me. Breakfast is included. The hotel grounds are green and lush. Rooms are separate cabins. The showers are huge and water hot which was nice as the weather was cool and wet. We would totally recommend the place and would definitely stay there again.

Great “base camp” for Arenal Activities
Arenal Green is a fantastic Hotel to base yourself in during a stay in La Fortuna. The individual cabin style rooms are very nicely made and furnished and help maintain the “Jungle” vibe. Although the hotel is a mile or so out of La Fortuna it is an easy walk (with a nice restaurant on route) or a short taxi ride. On the flip side, it is close enough to La Cascada de Rio Fortuna and the Cerro Chato trail to start your adventure from the hotel on foot. The owner was very helpful and courteous as were all the staff. In Summary, highly recommendable especially for the price.

Inviting cabanas and grounds. Well maintained. The onsite restaurant was good. It wasn't downtown but still close to activities. It is just down the street from the waterfall The room did not have a closet. The beds were firm, which we love.

Small resort away from downtown Fortuna, but walkable during daytime. Very nice authentic Costa Rican breakfast (free), the restaurant on site is open all the time until 10pm but takes quite a long time to bring out food. The resort is next door to a chocolate tour and a coffee tour. Helpful staff, though some are not fluent in English. Comfortable stay. Beautiful view. Very close to the nature.

Beautiful views in the rain forest
Our stay at Arenal Green was amazing! From check-in with Marco, the friendly, family feel was present. We asked for dinner recommendations and he turned us on to a wonderful restaurant that our whole family loved! The beautiful pictures they have on-line do not do it justice; the grounds are so much better than pictures show! The rooms were very clean, beds were very comfortable. Breakfast is included and it was delicious! They have a smoothie bar they operate in the afternoon and we are a smoothie family. The fruit smoothies are made from all fresh fruit that is cut and blended for you....beyond tasty! Diana booked some adventures for us and saved us money rather than if we had done it on our own through an on-line site. Great people there, great price, great views, great location close to everything you want to do. We LOVED staying with them and will again when we revisit Costa Rica 🇨🇷. ¡Pura Vida!

Amazing views from a clean comfortable room
The pictures don't do it justice. The staff, Diana and Marco, were so friendly and gave great tips on where to eat. They helped us secure reservations for activities for cheaper than if we had done it. Such an amazing experience! If our travels bring us back to Costa Rica again, we will stay here again.

Great hotel. beautiful place.
The staff were all friendly and helpful. The man at reception spoke English and was helpful with our booking of a hot spring. Our cabin was clean and comfortable with AC and a little fridge. The breakfast was good and the coffee was great. I spent some time on the grounds while injured and it is a very lovely place full of green trees, plants, flowers, lots of birds. It is well maintained and groomed but still has a very natural rainforest feel. some nice hammocks across the bridge to read a book in.

Cozy
We stayed 2 nights at Arenal Green with our 2 girls aged 11 and 13. The grounds were beautiful and the staff very pleasant and helpful. We did find the interior of the cabin quite small, even though the bathroom is quite large. There were no places to hang coats, etc but we just improvised and hung things up to dry as best we could. The breakfast was amazing and the view from the eating area very beautiful. The breakfast itself was delicious. I had the traditional breakfast both days and have to say it was the best breakfast I had the whole time I was in Costa Rica! Our girls had the fruit breakfast and they loved it.

Good find near La Fortuna
Great spot near La Fortuna, especially if you have a rental car. Room was perfect, bed a bit too firm but nothing to ding them for.

4/10 Poor

Disliked: Property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Nice grounds, poor accommodations.
If you're looking for a rustic bungalow experience where the walls have 4 large openings covered only with screens, where WiFi and TV set reception are unpredictable, and where the furniture's wooden panels and wall screens keep falling out, you've found your place! In addition to the bungalow walls being paper thin, there are no solid walls on two sides of it, and with the neighboring bungalow having the same configuration and being just about 10 feet away, you would hear everything happening next door. Also, an air conditioning has a bright light illuminating the entire room all night and making it difficult to sleep.

Wake up to the sound of birds chirping
Loved this place! From the morning wake-up call of birds outside our cabin, to Blanca's breakfast, to Marco's help with excursions and Herman's attentive care to the property. The location is very convenient - next door to the chocolate tour, and a short hop to downtown La Fortunate. From this location, we very conveniently went to the waterfalls, whitewater rafting, zip lining, Maleku healing plants tour, shopping, restaurants and thermal baths. It is family-owned and operated. Because we went in the rainy season, there were no crowds - just highly personalized service. Don't let rainy season scare you away. It is awesome. Beautiful skies, followed by 20 minutes of pour down, followed by beautiful skies. Happens once in the day, and sometimes again at night. Makes for a nice slow-down-the-pace break between activities and a great night's sleep. The rain on the Spanish tile roof of the cabin is like a hug.

Beautiful View of Arenal Volcano
The hotel is comprised of bungalows, providing privacy from neighbors. We rented the largest bungalow for 6 people which was equipped with 3 queen beds, 1.5 bathrooms (1 with shower, other just a toilet/sink) and a kitchen. There were lovely hammocks hanging outside our bungalow for us to just relax and take in the sights. Very close to the city of La Fortuna, about 2 miles away. Hotel staff as very friendly and accommodating, helped us book activities and provided us with breakfast as requested. Staff cleaned the room everyday.
