The very comfortable Arenal Observatory Lodge & Spa is perfectly positioned directly between the massive Arenal Volcano and deep blue Lake Arenal. The hotel offers 48 comfortable rooms surrounded by gardens, all with screened doors and fans to enjoy the naturally cooling rainforest breeze. The majority of the rooms have a direct view of the volcano and/or the forest. Activities at the hotel include hikes to the waterfall or to explore Cerro Chato, horseback riding, bicycling through the trails, enjoying a refreshing swim in the pool, or simply relaxing with a massage in the Spa.
