With La Fortuna Waterfall reachable in 5.7 km, Arenal Xilopalo offers accommodation, a restaurant, an outdoor swimming pool, a garden and a shared lounge. Both WiFi and private parking are accessible at the lodge free of charge.

I loved this place / lots of lovely places to hang out. The breakfast room / terrace was the best- there were so many birds to watch. Unfortunately due to rain and cloud I never saw the volcano but it didn’t dampen my stay. In the dark - Edmundo took me and another guest around the garden and we saw lots of wildlife- it was amazing / I saw more there than I did on the night / jungle trek! The room was perfect - large - great shower with really hot water and a mini fridge. All the staff were super. I only had one breakfast and it was good.

Surrounded by 860 private acres of tropical rainforest and featuring an on-site lake, a swimming pool, a sun terrace and games room, Arenal Observatory Lodge & Trails is located within the Arenal Conservation Area, only 2.7 km from the Arenal Volcano.

This property was absolutely the best lodge I ever stayed at. It's super nice and has the best views of the volcano. There are so many trails to take on the property and the daily free tour gives you a great idea on how to get started. It felt like a luxury in the rainforest but also very ecologically involved.

Breakfast is available every morning, and includes à la carte, continental and American options. At the lodge you will find a restaurant serving local and Grill Bbq cuisine. Vegetarian and dairy-free options can also be requested.

The food was fantastic, cooked and delivered to us. Authentic tico food straight from the owner's kitchen. The host even led us on a little tour of the property at dusk to have a look at all the cool little frogs (ranas) and other critters which I would highly recommend. The location is great and very peaceful/serene. The hosts were genuinely the nicest people we met during our trip and were very generous and went the extra mile.

The property was perfect for us as a couple. Close to La Fortuna and far enough away that you were out of the busyness. The kitchen was stocked well enough to make simple meals. King bed was comfortable. The view of Arenal Volcano was amazing when it wasn’t too cloudy. The patio was sheltered from the rain so you could still enjoy coffee outside in the morning. Property felt secure with remote control opening and closing.

    The rainforest setting is so beautiful. The lodges are completely immersed. Dozens of birds can be heard. Three friendly dogs and 2 cats live on the property and come visit. We stayed in a 3 bedroom private lodge that had everything we needed to sleep comfortably and prepare food. The owner and staff are very responsive and help book tours and rides.

    These lodges are amazing value! The location and views are excellent. The staff were friendly and helpful, providing us with a packed breakfast on our first morning as we were leaving early for ziplining. The next breakfast was freshly cooked with options to suit everyone. Our chalet was a little dated but really large, clean and well furnished.

    The lodges are very comfortable. The ceiling fan works really well at keeping the room cool. The restaurant is nice and there are bird feeders next to the dining area where you can watch the birds as you eat. There is a small forest and garden area. They have more feeders in the garden which attracts a good variety of birds.

    Felt like a small piece of paradise - several lodges with sufficient space between, nicely maintained vegetation and natural-looking swimming pool with jacuzzi. We particularly enjoyed the quiet and bird-watching, including humming birds having breakfast from the flowers around the restaurant. We liked tge location - close to town, yet very quiet and full of nature/close to river.

    Lovely little budget place, close to town but not too close so was still nice and quiet. Our kids loved the small pools and generally had them to themselves. Breakfast was easy and staff were friendly. Lodges were comfy - fridge was much appreciated. The site is very attractive and overlooks the sloth sanctuary - we saw many while sitting at the pool. Great view of the volcano.

    Beautiful view and a great location if you have a car as it is a bit away from the main town. The lodges are super spacious. We really enjoyed the breakfast and the staff in the food hall! We ordered some evening food there too and it was delicious. The reception staff were absolutely lovely.
