Villas Paradise, hotel in El Castillo de La Fortuna

Villas Paradise features mountain views, free WiFi and free private parking, set in El Castillo de La Fortuna, 26 km from La Fortuna Waterfall.

Clean and well maintained. The room has a fridge, sink and boiler to make some tea. The view is marvelous, right in front to the west of Arenal volcano. The city of El Castillo is pretty small and relatively far from La Fortuna which is the epicenter of tourism in the area... which is a very good thing ! In this area we are very close to great places like the Observatory Lodge (great for birdwatching), the Mariposa conservatory, Arenal park and trails, and right in front of lake Arenal. Nice restaurant for dinner and breakfast with incredible view on the volcano.

Vistaverde Lodge, hotel in El Castillo de La Fortuna

Vista Verde Lodge is located in Monteverde, Costa Rica , 20 minutes’ drive from the Monteverde Cloud Forest Reserve, and it offers a restaurant on site, plus free Wi-Fi access is available.

Best view of the Arenal Volcano. We stayed 3 nights, but 2 would be enough. We visited ecological reserve and Selvatura Park. The host served delicious breakfasts. We also ate dinners at the lodge. It was a very tasty local food with great presentation. The host, Eulogio, recommended a hike to the falls on the property, and we followed his advice. It took us about 1 hour to complete the hike and see the falls.

    Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

    Stunning location with an abundance of wildlife and beautiful views. El Castillo is a small village but la Fortuna is an easy drive and features resteraunt, bars and shops. Plenty of activities in the area (hot springs, nature walks and Adrenalin activities eg zip lining, quad biking). Essence Arenal is a great place to stay. Be warned, it can rain rather a lot! Look forward to returning.

    El Castillo was a sweet little town that was very friendly.

    El Castillo was a sweet little town that was very friendly. The views from the drive up were amazing. Great little supermarket but it's a bit of a drive up some twisty, turny roads. It's close to the 1968 trail which was one of the best hikes I've done since being in Costa Rica for almost a year. The birds were also unreal!
