Do it!!! BOOK IT NOW!!!!
What an amazing experience from start to finish. We were a tad skeptic when we booked but the service and the rooms were amazing. Best breakfast you will have while down here guaranteed. They cook fresh omelettes and the food is fantastic. We don’t usually like all the food from hotels here but this one is in a class of its own

This was a beautiful property set a little way outside of town. The grounds were beautiful with a walking trail around the perimeter. We saw a mama and baby sloth and lots of birds on the property and the Hot Springs near the pool was a nice area to enjoy. Great stay and would stay here again.

Excellent stay. Highly recommend. Staff very friendly. Grounds very clean. Kids and adults loved the numerous thermal pool options. Staff was prompt and friendly when we needed help unlocking the safe and changing the bedding. Very tasty breakfast each morning.

Never saw the volcano :-(
Omg it was wet! Rainforest right?! Never saw the volcano in 2 days. Gutted - late Nov. Room great. Thermal pools nicely done. Dinner very disappointing - tough steak and limp asparagus and not cheap. Breakfast varied. Informal - people in towels by/in open restaurant. Staff v nice. Grounds fab.

We stayed one night and loved it! The hot springs were incredible - there was so many hot springs for use, along with a sauce, pool, and outdoor showers. We absolutely loved the experience at the hotel, as well as the dinner at the on-site restaurant. We booked a room with a personal hot spring and barely used it because it was too hot the available ones for all guests were so amazing.

Volcano Lodge exceeded my expectations in the best way. The grounds are gorgeous, immaculately kept by the groundskeepers. The hot springs are plentiful with varying temperatures and extremely clean. The resort is spacious with ample privacy while also feeling intimate and friendly. The staff are incredible. In particular, Denzel, Alejandro and Jordan went out of their way with their hospitality. They were so friendly and attentive while also patient with me practicing my Español! The housekeepers were also great. The rooms were spacious and comfortable. The location of the resort is great being both close to downtown La Fortuna and La Fortuna Waterfall as well as Mistico Bridges. Prior to our stay I was concerned that the resort seeming very family friendly would feel crowded with families and young children. This wasn’t the case at all even though I think the resort was fully booked. Nothing ever felt crowded at all. There are so many hot springs and spots to lounge that there is a great amount of privacy if you choose. On our second day the Volcano came into full view and it was spectacular. From the main pool and hot spring area we had a perfect view. I highly recommend Volcano Lodge and would stay here again. Extremely good value for a lovely luxurious resort.

Best hot spring hotel
This hotel was amazing. Check in was fast and easy. Pool and property was clean. The room has A/C and a fan with a cute patio where you could hear the river. The staff was very friendly and greeting us with our first name. The hot spring was very relaxing and with a swim up bar we could have stayed all day. This hotel was also very close to all the attractions, only a 5-10 minute drive to everything. Buffet breakfast included made it nice to start our day without having to worry about waiting for food. I would recommend this hotel to anyone staying in La Fortuna.
