Hotel Arenal Paraiso - La Fortuna
Costa Rica
The Arenal/La Fortuna area is one
of the more popular and exotic tourist stops in
Costa Rica because of the very active Volcano Arenal,
luxurious hot springs and nearby lake. The area boasts a few
all-inclusive hotels, one of the top being Hotel Arenal
Paraiso.

Many hotels in
the area have volcano views, and Arenal Paraiso is no
exception, but few have their own hot springs (8 pools
of differing temperatures), comprehensive spa and gym,
horseback riding facilities, trail system, steak house
and canopy tour. |

 Built on a
beautiful piece of property between the Volcano and Rio
Arenal, the grounds of the hotel are rather large. So
large is the property that their two-hour canopy tour
brings you to jungle locations and river views that feel
miles from civilization. It is also able to support five
cold pools with fresh water, changed daily, and the new
addition of eight hot pools, all drawn from the hot
springs of the volcano. A few of the pools are left
unfiltered to allow for a more natural dip in the
mineral laden water. If some guests find the brown
springs intimidating, they can enjoy the many other
filtered hot pools. Although, you may not want to pass
up the chance to bathe in these murky waters, volcanic
hot springs are prized for their salubrious qualities
and some of these minerals are said to help cure
ailments from arthritis to backache.
The luxurious
Mayin Spa is the place to get pampered. The extensive
list of options includes massage services, sauna,
facials, manicures, pedicures and weight
room.

The hotel has been around
for ten years and is still adding new features and rooms. The
older 'standard' rooms are beautiful cabins with wooden
interiors and luxurious bathrooms. All standard rooms have two
queen size beds and porches with volcano views. These rooms
also have telephones, cable television, refrigerators and
