Volcano lodge truly lives up to its name—it’s a paradise! The cabin we stayed in was comfortable, and clean. The views of the surrounding nature were absolutely breathtaking. One of the highlights of our stay was the variety of Thermo Mineral Hot Springs pools—there were so many to choose from, and they were all so relaxing. There are even areas designed for kids, making it a great spot for families. The service was excellent, and the food was delicious. We absolutely loved our time here and can’t wait to come back again. Highly recommend!

The property was very outdated. We had the king size bed room with a private thermal pool. It was just okay. Nothing special and probably wouldn’t have spent the extra money for the private thermal. The sauna on the property is tiny and the hot springs was basic. You have to rent towels by handing in tickets and if you lose it, it’s $20/towel. The employees always look annoyed when they have to give towels out as they are doing multiple jobs, i.e, bartending, servers, host at the restaurant. They look a bit overwhelmed….. The property is VERY large so if you’re not renting a car and your room happens to be further in the back, it can easily be a 1/2-3/4 mile walk to the reception. The only great thing about our stay is the breakfast which was buffet style and had a great spread. Would most likely try another place when we return to La Fortuna
