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!

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.

Lovely place good price

The property is very beautiful the plants on the property are gorgeous. The place feeds the birds in the morning so there are always plenty of birds to see right outside your door. The staff were helpful and friendly. We were told they do not have queen beds so we were given a villa with two double beds.
