This small family operated hotel was built on pastureland already owned and lived on by the family. The hotel has six brightly colored rooms with some of the closest views of the volcano in the Arenal area. From the highway this hotel does not particularly stand out from the others, and at first one might assume the simple, motel-like appearance is an indication that the rooms are more basic than they are. Up close it quickly becomes clear the rooms are built with a great attention to detail, and the result is pleasing.

      From outside the beautiful orange textured stucco and bright colors give the hotel a Caribbean feel. Bright yellow walls and color-coordinated bedspreads welcome you into the spacious rooms. Buildings are oriented as to allow guests a view of the volcano without getting out of bed! The nicer rooms have air-conditioning, a mini-fridge and cable TV. The less expensive rooms at Erupciones do not have air conditioning but still come with cable television, comfortable double beds and private bathroom with hot water. 

   The family who owns Erupciones plans to build six new units soon and they plan to someday put in a pool. When that happens expect to pay much more for the rooms, but today it is a bargain.
