Hotel Arte Natura is the kind of ‘hotel’ I love. It’s unique, quaint, quiet, and very walkable to local shops and restaurants. It’s about a mile west of the main downtown area with many restaurants only steps away, including one on site. The double room I booked was the perfect size for one person, but would have been a bit small for two platonic guests. It’s not because the room was small (which it is), but because of the size of the bed. You’d want to be sharing it with someone you plan to cuddle with 😉. The outdoor shared kitchen and living room were comfortable and clean, and a great way to keep my Imperial beer cold. The pool is small but inviting. Kristhal works in both reception and the restaurant and was extremely helpful in assisting me with booking tours, making suggestions on things to see and do, and helping me figure out logistics. Kendall, Luca and the rest of the staff kept things moving smoothly in the restaurant, including making sure I got my multiple refills of cafe con leche ☕️. The cleaning crew was friendly and kept the common areas tidy. I’m very happy I found this hotel. I would definitely stay there again and would recommend it to others.

Really friendly staff. Restaurant had great options for breakfast and dinner. Facilities were nice. Bed was a bit hard and not the most soundproof. But overall we had a great stay and I would stay here again!

The staff, in particular leyling and Kendal, we so friendly and attentive and helpful. Our room was plenty big for the two of us. Happy hour at the restaurant was a draw. And we dined there on two occasions - the food was very good. There is a kitchen area for the guests. The pool was small but very refreshing.

Their staff especially Crystal, Leilin, and Kendall were very friendly, accommodating, as well as the owners, who would go over and beyond to make your stay a comfortable and a happy one. Their breakfast is served individually on your table with different selections to choose from and lots of delicious fresh fruits since they also own the Vagabondo pizzeria and pasta next to the quaint and charming one story bungalow rooms. Everything we needed was there. They also let you use their washer and dryer for free, you just need to buy your own detergent.The pool is small but always clean and so nice to sit around or just relax by the nearby lounge chairs and tables to chat or just read a book. They also have a common kitchen (if you want to cook your own food)with everything you need. I was told it’s under new management since 4 years now. It’s quaint, cute, clean, and staff are very personable and attentive to your needs. I will highly recommend this Hotel Aure Natura if you are in La Fortuna!!! It’s close to Arenal rafting, La Fortuna Waterfalls, Choyin Rio Termal Hotsprihgs, Arenal Mundo Aventura Ziplining, and Mistico National Park

Great staff, unbeatable breakfasts

Super lush grounds and welcoming staff who smiled and accommodated everything. They have a communal laundry and kitchen for those who are on longer trips like us. And, the breakfasts were huge and tasty. But it was the staff that took top prize! Well done.

Cute spot! Really nice, community feeling. Room was clean and tidy and had everything I needed. Pillow was comfortable! I particularly enjoyed the lounge area which made reading and relaxing while watching the rain perfect. Staff was really friendly and the pizza/pasta next door phenomenal. Easy walk into main area of La Fortuna.

This property is amazing. The garden is like a small tropical jungle. There are an open library area, kitchen, small swimming pool, and rest area. The room is clean. The only complaint is that you have to ask for a hair blower from the staff. Otherwise, highly recommended!
