La fortuna
Great hotel with view of arenal volcano and a short drive to la fortuna. Plenty of wildlife, mostly birds on grounds. Breakfast was great. Picture of our breakfast buddy.

Great place!
We had a perfect view of the Arenal Volcano right from our porch. Very quiet place with lots of birds. The gardens were beautiful on the property. We had a car so it was a short 5 min drive to La Fortuna.

It's a must see hotel! I had a green parrot outside my door the first morning! 😃 And 10 minutes later I seen two Toucans! This is my 4th time to Costa Rica and this was the best experience ever!

10/10 Exceptional

We strongly recommend Brisas Arenal for families. The property is absolutely beautiful. We did not have time to walk the grounds, but it was impeccably maintained with lots of flowers. We also saw a sign for a trail connected to the property (?), but did not have time to ask for further details/check it out. The breakfast area is surrounded by beautiful gardening and visited by various birds (they do not encroach into the breakfast space and are very nice to look at). The room was very practical with comfortable beds. We found the non-graveled ground to be a bit squishy and muddy after rain (made it slightly inconvenient to bring in luggage/walk to our car), but this seems to be par for the course in the area. There is a restaurant on-site open for dinner, but we did not eat there. Breakfast was a good value at $9.

This property is surrounded by trees and flowers. Fantastic beauty all around. Great spacious cabins .

Amazing Landscaping
There were a few hiccups with water leaking from the refrigerator and the AC tripping; however, the staff was responsive and fixed all issues. The grounds were amazing! The owner has put his heart and artistry throughout and made the area stunning!!

10/10 Exceptional

Great stay in La Fortuna! This property is slightly removed from the town which we thoroughly enjoyed the quiet. The grounds are very clean and well kept with lots of birds, flowers, puppies, and a beautiful view. The room was very clean, staff were friendly and breakfast was fantastic! Highly recommend and would stay here again!

We stayed there for one night. The room was nice and clean. The area is nice. The staff is very friendly. We dined at the restaurant “yellow tree” inside the hotel properties, we loved the food! It was tasty, well presented and the chef was friendly too.
Chelesty, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We loved being off the main road and the uniqueness of the property. We enjoyed sitting on the porch with nature around us and the view of the Arenal volcano. We enjoyed the hammocks too.

10/10 Exceptional

We LOVED our time at Brisas. The grounds are stunning--just sitting and taking it all in is an excellent passtime on its own! The accommodations are very thoughtful, 'rustic comfort' (best A/C we had in CR, ironically, given we also stayed at resorts twive the price and half as lovely!), And the staff are wonderful. Exceptional breakfast (all delicious but the French toast is incredible), and the owner was so thoughtful, taking time to chat every day at breakfast. And to top it all off are the adorable property 'mascotys--several dogs (Molly and Roxy were our faves--Molly would even wait for us outside our door in the morning!)--not to mention Matilde the tame wild parrot! Can't recommend this beautiful, family run property it highly enough.

Beautiful, well-tended property. Far enough from town to be peaceful. Close enough to enjoy in town activities. Room was clean and basic.
Linda, 3-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful gardens and view of arenal volcano. Loved the hiking path on the property (about a 30min. Walk to complete the trail). Nice breakfast area with view of bird bath that attracts many different kinds of birds. Breakfast was not included in our stay, so we only had breakfast on site once.
Lori, 2-night trip

6/10 Good

I’d avoid with families
It was a funny stay at brisas. There’s no denying that the setting is amazing. You really do feel immersed in nature and it’s very peaceful. I found the staff pretty hostile and not very welcoming, especially the receptionist. It feels a bit more like a self catering lodge than a hotel. The room was dated, like it hasn’t been touched since the 70s but it was still clean and comfortable. With the air con it was either cold or very cold, difficult to get a happy medium. We had a blocked drain in the toilet one afternoon, through no fault of our own. And when we told the receptionist he just said ok I’ll send someone to sort it. No one came to sort it until the cleaners came the next day and all they did was clean the dirty pan. The toilet was never actually unblocked. Maybe this is a normal occurrence. Having to order breakfast at reception the night before was annoying. I’d understand if it was some lavish breakfast, but it was literally just rice eggs and toast. Not sure why this needs ordering in adavance. We forgot to order it one night so ended up skipping breakfast the next day through fear of upsetting staff by just turning up. Be aware there is no pool, a photo on hotels.com looks like a pool although after re reading I didn’t see anything saying there was a pool so this is as my error, but there def isn’t one. Also be away if you book as a family or more than two people, weirdly you only get 2 breakfasts included in the room rate. We were a family of 5, @ $9 each
