Description

Cabinas Faro Arenal offers rest and recreation. We have eight bungalow-type cabins with beautiful green areas that are highly visited by exotic birds. Our rooms have an extraordinary view of Arenal Volcano.

We are in community Z-13, located just 1.5 miles from the center of Fortuna de San Carlos. We are very close to other beautiful sites in the region such as the waterfalls of the La Fortuna River; hanging bridges; hot springs; natural trails for hikes (day and night) to see birds, reptiles, and plants; a serpentarium; volcano observatory; and canopy tours. We also have a trail where you can enjoy native forest species undergoing recovery.

Our bungalow-type rooms are spacious with private baths and hot water; four have air-conditioning and the other four have ceiling fans. We have a total of 28 beds in the facility. We have an area for meetings and conferences, an area for sports, ranchos for barbeques, restaurant, two pools, and ample parking. The restaurant offers breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
