Nice hotel, beautiful grounds

Very nice hotel close to the city center. Only downside was no wi-fi in the rooms.
Irena, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

For the price it was a fantastic hotel. If they just spent a little bit money it would be an amazing hotel. Overall I'm satisfied
Robert, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This Arenal Montechiari is a great deal for price conscious travelers it’s an older property and a little rustic, but very clean with exceptional service. It’s perfect for tourists in that it’s walking distance to many restaurants in downtown La Fortuna. Almost all of the local sightseeing activities offer shuttles to and from the hotel. Great breakfast too! No wifi in rooms but is available in reception and the restaurant. Would definitely stay again.
R, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We had a great stay here. The rooms were clean and had everything you need, including a/c. The property itself is very lush and beautiful. It is very walkable. You can take a short walk to La Fortuna where you can find any type of food you desire. I loved the area and my stay at Arenal Montechiari.

Loved our stay and would come again. Breakfast was the same every morning. TV didn’t work. Need a garbage can in the room. Need hooks for towels in bathroom.
Brianne, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Check in was super quick, everything was laid out and ready to go upon arrival. The property is extremely well maintained, quiet and serene. The security guard does regular walks of the proterty which was very comforting for a young family. Had a wonderful meal at Restaurante Fortunena. Service was amazing, have never seen food come so quickly. Did the Mistico Bridges, it was an unbelievable experience. The entire experience is highly recommended.
Matt, 1-night trip

Honestly i feel they should provide wifi in each room. For Wifi you need to go to the reception area or the restaurant area. The rooms are small for a family of 4 but very clean. The Washrooms were good and spacious. They could provide a place to place our soap and shampoos.
Niranjan, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

The staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The views and continental breakfast were great. The beds were comfortable and the air conditioning worked well. You do start to hear alot of nature throughout the night which made it difficult to sleep and there is no wi-fi in the cabins. If you are looking to unplug, this place is amazing.
Adam, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

This property delivered in all aspects. It was quiet, beautiful gardens, and cozy cabin. The staff were accommodating to some small requests we had. It is close enough to town to walk, which is very convenient, and the walk felt safe even at night. Free breakfast was convenient, though after 5 days we did get a little tired of having the exact same options; this is just a minor point though. Overall I would recommend this hotel.

La Fortuna get away

Felt some of the bathroom amenities could be improved. Lighting in the bathroom definitely needs updating. Toiletries were a little lacking. Staff was friendly, helpful and professsional.
David, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

The property is old. The bathroom is small. Shower was good but the toilet and sink were finicky - had to operate them just right so they didn't drip. We were assigned a cabin right next to the heavily trafficked area so got noisy at times. There were empty cabins away from the reception area but not sure why we were not given those. Breakfast was good. Wifi only works near the reception and breakfast area.

El lugar es hermoso,se desconecta del ruido,lo único le falta mantenimiento a las áreas donde se camina y más limpieza a las cabañas

Excelente lugar y servicio. Muy tranquilo. Limpio.
Isahinie, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

We liked our stay at the Arenal Montechiari Hotel. It was different from a usual hotel because of the small, individual houses. Positive things about the houses are ...they have air conditioning, are clean, have a room safe for valuables, have a TV, and the breakfast is adequate. Every unit has a small porch with two chairs on it. The price for staying there is very reasonable, and the grounds are pretty with flowers. The staff was friendly and helpful. Negative things are... the small houses are very rustic. You can see light between the boards on the door and there was a gap under the door. Despite that, we did not see any insects in the unit. Our house had two beds that were tightly squeezed into the room. There wasn't a chair for lounging. The small houses are very close together and conversations can be heard from people outside.

Beautiful! Large shower, comfy bed, adorable towel arrangements everyday by maid service, breakfast included! WiFi not available in the rooms so you can disconnect, but is available where breakfast is served so you can map out your day. We loved being close to everything we wanted to see. An adventure of a lifetime!
Julia, 3-night trip

All great. Just took one star away because the pool was closed for a whole day for cleaning and the pool was one reason way we picked it. Location is perfect to walk into town.
Timo, 3-night trip

Fantastic property! Close enough to La Fortuna activities, yet away from the busy streets in downtown. Breakfast was great, more than many other hotel options. 2 days of rain so we didn't have volcano views but our stay with our daughters was great!
