Set on a ridge 1.7 miles from Arenal Volcano. The Arenal Observatory Lodge features 37 rooms in a four-building spread on the property. Other attractions include a waterfall, just a short hike away, which cascades into the cool forest depths.

We stayed in a Smithsonian room at AOL and LOVED it! We had a great view of the volcano and the lake from our room and our balcony.
Fortunately for us, the volcano was very active. We saw and...
My husband and I stayed at the Lodge for three nights and will definitely go back again when we return to Costa Rica. The views of the volcano are incredible. We were hesitant to stay after reading...
