Beautiful grounds, great location
We loved this place and after our stay were very surprised we didn’t see it recommended more. The grounds especially,well maintained the birds in the area were gorgeous and a highlight of breakfast a lovely pool to enjoy with hot springs either side of the pool which were fab. The pools were all open really late which meant we could enjoy a cocktail while the kids played in the pool after a busy day In the fab area.
It’s located at the top of the road from downtown fortuna but we didn’t have a car and never struggled to get an Uber either down to the town or around to the main attraction like the volcano hikes or zipling etc.
Staff at both the restaurant and front desk were both super welcoming and friendly.
The only think if I was being picky is our room was a little dated looking, a bit dark and the shower was a bit of pain to use but overall we LOVED our stay here.

Perfect getaway
It’s an amazing property !
The best part of the place is the private thermal hot water in some of the rooms ! We had the best time ! We also loved the dense vegetation and the birds who nest in the property , truly a delight to see specially in mornings ..
The restaurant is a little over priced and superbly slow specially in dinner time - I would recommend going to the restaurants outside the resort which are 10-15 min max and much. Cheaper and better food !

Good location, mediocre servce
The breakfast was excellent, the location was great.
There was no electricity/internet on one of the days, and interrupted electricity and internet service on another. When I reported the problem and asked for a discount the receptionist refused.
The sauna was not hot enough, and birds could get into the breakfast area to feed themselves.

Everything was great. Staff was excellent. My only regret is that I never found out that there was an outdoor gym. It was on the map. It would’ve been helpful to get an orientation around the grounds. We were told about the thermal springs and the pool and the restaurant. Had no idea there was an outdoor gym.

The staff is very friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was very good, but the service is a little bit slow so take that into consideration for timing. We booked all our excursions through the hotel and they were all wonderful and as advertised. The location of the hotel is Central for all the excursions. Nothing was more than 25 minutes away. The breakfast included fresh omelettes, Belgian waffles and a wide variety of other options. Consistently good. I would recommend this hotel. Thank you to the staff at the Volcano Lodge for helping make our Costa Rica vacation wonderful.

The staff in this property were very friendly and very nice. And the restaurant was excellent. as where the thermal pools and the swimming pool.. overall the property is good. However, we found the room to be really small and very dated. And the bathroom to be very ordinary. also for the first time, we had a very strange experience where we were told, and there was a sign inside the bathroom that said this, that we should not put the toilet paper into the toilet but into the dustbin next to the toilet. That was really odd…Apart from that, we had a really nice time at the hotel.

The property is too old. The room is too small. Bathroom is old and dirty. Smell. We stayed 4 nights and after 2nd day no one came to cleaning our room or gave us new towels. It's not worth the money. Do not stay here. 2** rated
