Brisas Arenal Hotel
Situated outside La Fortuna on the edge of Parque Nacional Volcan Arenal, Brisas Arenal Hotel is a rustic two-and-a-half-pearl spot in a quiet, residential neighborhood. Amid perfectly manicured grounds, the hotel has a tiny plunge pool and serves a free, simple breakfast with local and international options. All 10 cabin-style rooms feature flat-screen TVs, free Wi-Fi, private porches, and air-conditioning; Tropical Suites upgrade to sunken hot tubs with rainforest views. Most visitors to the hotel are seeking a quiet, secluded retreat, however, that does mean there’s nothing within walking distance. The nearby Hotel Arenal Montechiari is pricier, but includes awesome volcano views and a beautiful outdoor pool.
