“Hotel Villas Vista Arenal strikes me as a comfortable base for exploring La Fortuna; the wooden cabins appear charming, and I appreciate the reported views of the Arenal volcano. I think it's a solid option for families, with the children's pool and proximity to town, and I get the impression the staff is exceptionally welcoming; plus, breakfast being included is always a plus. This seems like a reliably restful spot.”
