The town itself is small and easy to cover on foot, but most attractions are out of town, so getting around by car, taxi or a hotel transfer matters. You choose a stay here by plan: cheaper in town, dearer in the lodges and hot-spring resorts near the volcano. Prices are usually quoted in dollars, and a typical stay runs three nights. This list has 427 properties, from a hostel bed to a hot-spring resort. Below is what really drives the price of a stay in La Fortuna: the season, the property type and whether thermal springs are included.
It is cheapest in the green, rainy season, from May to November, with the lowest point in October, at the peak of the rain. The priciest is the dry season, from December to April, when there is the most sun and the most tourists, and February tends to be the dearest month. The gap between the two can run to tens of percent. This is a popular destination with limited capacity, so it pays to book really early, as the lowest rates show up about two and a half months before arrival. In the rainy season it usually rains in the afternoons and nature is at its greenest, which many guests count as a plus.
La Fortuna runs from a hostel bed in town to a resort with thermal pools and a volcano view. The cheapest sleep is in hostels, B&B guesthouses and simple cabinas, while the dearest are the lodges and resorts with hot springs included, often a few kilometres out of town. Below are indicative nightly rates from the green season.
| Property type | Indicative price per night (from) |
|---|---|
| Hostel bed | from approx. USD 30 |
| B&B guesthouse or simple hotel (2-3 stars) | from approx. USD 45 |
| Apartment or cabinas | from approx. USD 70 |
| Four-star hotel or lodge | from approx. USD 90 |
| Hot-spring resort | from approx. USD 160 |
Indicative rates for a double room, from the green season, which is the lower season here. In the dry season, especially around February, the same property is often noticeably dearer, so check the real price for your dates in the search above.
The town centre of La Fortuna has the most hostels, guesthouses and simple hotels, with restaurants and shops all close by. It is the cheapest and handiest base for a first stay. The lodges, volcano-view hotels and hot-spring resorts usually sit a few kilometres out of town, closer to the Arenal national park. They cost more, but the rate often includes thermal pools and a view of the volcano. You travel to most attractions by car, taxi or transfer anyway, so a base outside the centre is no problem.
From a hostel bed in town to a hot-spring resort by the volcano, a few La Fortuna names with a from price. Just a starting point, as rates can climb noticeably in the dry season, especially around February.
| Property | Category | Price per night (from) |
|---|---|---|
| Pura Vibra Hostel | Hostel, town centre | from approx. USD 33 |
| Hotel Lavas Tacotal | Hotel near the volcano | from approx. USD 90 |
| San Bosco Inn | Three-star hotel, town centre | from approx. USD 100 |
| Termales del Arenal | Property with hot springs | from approx. USD 150 |
| Volcano Lodge, Hotel & Thermal Experience | Lodge with thermal pools | from approx. USD 300 |
| Hotel Arenal Springs Resort & Spa | Five-star resort with hot springs | from approx. USD 340 |
| Hotel Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa | Five-star resort with spa | from approx. USD 340 |
From prices for a double room, from the green season. The same property can cost a lot more in the dry season, so check your exact dates in the search.
The green, rainy season is cheapest, from May to November, with the lowest point in October, at the peak of the rain. The priciest is the dry season, from December to April, when there is the most sun and the most tourists, and February tends to be the dearest month.
Yes, if you do not mind afternoon showers. In the green season, from May to November, it is cheaper and less crowded, and nature is at its greenest and lushest. Mornings are often clear, so you can usually plan your tours.
The town centre has the most hostels, guesthouses and simple hotels, near restaurants and tour desks, and it is cheaper. The lodges and resorts with hot springs and a volcano view sit a few kilometres out of town and cost more, but often include thermal pools.
Resorts with thermal pools included start at roughly USD 160 a night and run much higher at five-star properties. Staying in town with a separate ticket to the public hot springs nearby works out cheaper.
This is a popular destination with limited capacity, so it pays to book early. The lowest rates show up about two and a half months before arrival, and for the dry season and holidays it is better to book even earlier.
La Fortuna is in northern Costa Rica, about three hours from the capital, San José. You can get there by car, bus or a booked transfer. The town itself is small and walkable, but you need a car, taxi or hotel transfer for the attractions out of town.
