The perfectly shaped, still fuming Arenal Volcano is one of the country’s most astounding sites. On a good, clear night, one has the chance to see red lava spewing out the top and oozing down the side, a sight that is not to be forgotten. Hikes throughout this area promise stellar views of the volcano, as well as the chance to be immersed in some seriously wonderful nature. Visitors can enjoy the splendors of Lake Arenal as well, which sits at the base of the volcano and offers a variety of diversions – canoeing, kite-surfing, and fishing, to name a few. Visits to the La Fortuna waterfall are equally popular, although no visit to the area would be complete without a soak in one of the many geothermal hot springs – definitely the best way to unwind at night. The small town of La Fortuna is nearby, stocked with all the provisions and services that a guest could require.
Hotel Las Colinas is a pleasant, comfortable hotel that strives to give its guest the best possible service. Whether that means helping newly arrived visitors choose a room to stay in, a car to rent, or even a tour to take, the hotel ensures that it will go out of its way to make your stay a good one.
One of the hotel’s best features is its magnificent view of the Arenal Volcano. Views of sunset or sunrise – or any other time of the day, for that matter – can be had from an impressive terrace that looks out on the volcano. However, it is not only from the terrace that Arenal can be seen. Most rooms also give guests spots to watch for lava, whether it is through a window or on a balcony. The rooms themselves are simple and clean, suited for individuals traveling by themselves or in small groups. Some have large, expansive bathrooms (one even has a Jacuzzi), and all are decorated with fresh plants and colorful artwork.
Hotel Las Colinas serves its guests a complimentary breakfast every morning, comprised of seasonal fruits, gallo pinto, eggs, toast, juice, and fresh Costa Rican coffee. Lastly, the hotel is dedicated to responsible tourism. Among other things, it harnesses solar powered energy, uses biodegradable soaps, and purchases food from local farmers.
