Beautiful place with amazing people. Sites are amazing and the hiking is refreshing. Listen and you can hear the mountain. Stay as close to the top as you can and you'll enjoy your stay more. Go to Montiverde after leaving Arenal.

great tour
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 04/02/08
In January I was 3 days in the Arenal area. This place definitely should be on your To-Do list for Costa Rica. Our trip was an organized tour from the travel agency Expediciones Tropicales. Our tour guide picked us up from our hotel in San Jose and drove on to La Fortuna. In the afternoon we visited Baldi Hot Springs. There we could relax in ...
We loved Arenal and had a wonderful time in Fortuna. We stayed at Los Lagos and had views of the volcano and lava flow from our rooms. The volcano was covered with clouds the first day we were there (Feb 18-21, 2008) but they cleared by the second day. Baldi was nice and the canopy and horseback riding tours at Los Lagos gave some great views along ...

great times

The hotel we choose was wonderfully located at the base of the Volcano. A short drive to the Park at night time gave us a romantic and beauiful memory of the power within a volcano.
I was able to get down to Costa Rica in October as part of a group of students. Arenal is amazing, especially if you can see it at night (on the active side...on the other side from La Fortuna). You can actually see molten rocks cascading down the mountainside and breaking into more and more rocks...amazing! The hot springs are great around ...

It was a great experience
By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/31/07
We went there several years ago with my 10 year old and he enjoyed it also. We stayed at a motel across from Arenal and it was awsome. The people were great and friendly. I can't think of a thing that we disliked. Prices were also reasonable. We visited the waterfall and ate at several different inns and were surrounded by butterflies and hummingbirds.

This place is heaven on earth. The little town of LaFortuna and San Ramon is a wonderful place to experiemce. The cost was very nice and the Hotel Arenal Paraiso was just grande I would recommend this place to anyone that want to experience a piece of paradise.

By A Yahoo! Contributor, 08/24/07
ok dont be fooled by these crazy people the place was not that great...ok there were some really god trails...but the stores price things in the American Dollar, the volcano is always cloudy at the top unless you manage to go on a good day which is about two weeks a year...everything is way to over priced...if you must go then dont expect much and ...
