Frequently Asked Questions

When is the ideal time to visit Hotel Alturas Del Arenal and explore Volcán Tenorio?

We recommend visiting during Costa Rica's dry season, from December to April, for the most reliable weather when hiking to the Rio Celeste. While the rainforest is always lush, clearer skies enhance the vibrant blue of the river and offer better chances for volcano views.

What unique experiences can we expect when staying at Hotel Alturas Del Arenal, beyond the national park?

Beyond the stunning Rio Celeste hike, we love the hotel's private trails, perfect for birdwatching right on the property. The sunsets from the lodge's elevated position are sensational, and we recommend enjoying them with a cocktail by the pool.

What kind of wildlife can we hope to see around Hotel Alturas Del Arenal?

While not a traditional safari, the surrounding rainforest is teeming with life; we've spotted howler monkeys, sloths, and a vibrant array of tropical birds, including toucans, right from our balcony. Keep an eye out for colorful frogs and butterflies on the hotel grounds, especially after a rain shower.

How challenging is the drive to Hotel Alturas Del Arenal, and do we need a 4x4 vehicle?

The drive to Alturas Del Arenal involves some unpaved sections, typical for accessing remote lodges in Costa Rica, and we strongly recommend a 4x4 vehicle for comfort and safety, especially during the rainy season. The journey is part of the adventure, leading you to a truly secluded and beautiful setting.

What is the dining experience like at Hotel Alturas Del Arenal, and is it good value for money?

We found the dining at Alturas Del Arenal to be excellent, focusing on fresh, local ingredients with a lovely view of the Arenal volcano on clear days. While not a budget option, the lodge feels luxurious and timeless, offering great value for its comfortable accommodations and exceptional service in such a pristine location.
