Hotels in Fortuna: prices, timing and areas

La Fortuna is the gateway to the Arenal Volcano and one of the most popular spots in Costa Rica, known for its hot springs, its waterfall and the national park around it. 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.

When to book a stay in La Fortuna for less

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.

What a stay costs by property type

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 typeIndicative price per night (from)
Hostel bedfrom approx. USD 30
B&B guesthouse or simple hotel (2-3 stars)from approx. USD 45
Apartment or cabinasfrom approx. USD 70
Four-star hotel or lodgefrom approx. USD 90
Hot-spring resortfrom 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.

Staying in town or near the volcano

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.

Which stay in La Fortuna suits whom

  • First time in La Fortuna. The town centre is the easiest base, near restaurants and tour desks. From here it is easy to set up trips to the waterfall, the trails and the hot springs.
  • For couples. Lodges and resorts with thermal pools and a volcano view, often with a spa. The most popular choice for a stay for two.
  • Budget and backpacker. Hostels and B&B guesthouses in town, with a good vibe and close to transport for tours. Good for a longer, more budget-minded stay.
  • For families. Apartments and cabinas with a kitchen, and hotels with a pool, handy for a few days with children. Three nights is a typical stay, so a kitchen helps.
  • For hot-spring lovers. Resorts with thermal pools in the rate, near the volcano. An evening soak in warm water is a classic of Arenal.
  • With breakfast. Many guesthouses and hotels include breakfast in the rate, which helps you set off early for a full-day trip.

Frequently asked questions

Which month is cheapest for a hotel in La Fortuna?

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.

Is it worth visiting La Fortuna in the rainy season?

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.

Where should I stay in La Fortuna, in town or near the volcano?

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.

How much is a stay with hot springs in La Fortuna?

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.

How far ahead should I book a hotel in La Fortuna?

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.

How do I get to La Fortuna?
