Arenal History Inn

It’s just a mile (2 km) away from downtown Arenal, which has a ton of restaurants and shops that cater to visitors. While you’re here, you’ll be just a few minutes’ drive from the soothing mineral waters of Baldi Hot Springs, where you can take a dip in geothermal pools and choose from a selection of spa treatments. Arenal is best known for its nature walks through tropical forests and cooled lava flows — go with a guide so you can spot some of the wildlife that blends into the scenery.

Each bungalow has its own private terrace with a view of the Arenal Volcano. These bungalows are spaced out so you feel like you have a little bit of the grounds to yourself. Inside, the furnishings emphasize rustic comfort. With a larger bunglow, your accommodations will also come with a small dining area.

Bungalows are all air-conditioned and have private bathrooms. You can store cold drinks in the refrigerator. During your downtime, make use of the cable TV and Wi-Fi. Don’t sweat finding a laundromat — Arenal History Inn has its own laundry service.

Breakfast is included in your stay. Head to the hotel restaurant to sample their exciting Argentinian menu, or order room service. There’s also a bar and lounge on the grounds as well as a convenient business center. The grounds are nicely landscaped, and tropical vegetation surrounds the swimming pool.
