Hidden in the Costa Rican tropical forest is the Arenal Montechiari Hotel. You can escape to your cabin or venture out to the nearby towns for spectacular views and food.

In a previous life, the Arenal Montechiari Hotel was a small restaurant called El Sesteo. They served delicious food to tourists after they had hiked the Arenal Volcano. Because of customer demand the restaurant decided to begin construction on rooms in 2004. The hotel has grown to satisfy the ever increasing client base. Now 21 cabins, two pools and bar accompany the restaurant.

The hotel is only 400 meters from the central park and very close to the beautiful town of La Fortuna. Surrounded by lush garden and with a spectacular view of the volcano, Arenal Montechiari is a tropical escape into the Costa Rican scenery. Each of the cabins is constructed out of indigenous wood. Each contains two double beds, air conditioning, hot water, cable television and few kitchen items such as a mini-fridge and coffee maker. Outside, each cabin has its own private terrace to view the birds and butterflies that have made the gardens there home. Wifi is available throughout the hotel.

The hotel also provides adventure packages for its more daring guests. You can go river rafting, stand up paddling or canyoneering. If you are more interested in the culture and community, the hotel offers a tour to Chachagua and an animal rescue facility.
