Montana de Fuego Hotel & Spa

"Great view" by Trip Advisor reviews (January 18, 2010)

Very attractive place. The room was very nice (more like an appartment!) and the view was great when the fog cleared. The breakfast was great and food at the bar was good. The restaurant food was not good at all. We didn't even eat out last night there because the bar was closed and we didn't want to spend the money on nasty food! The spa was very nice! Staff was nice and helpful! There was a spot the locals parked in front of the hotel/our room on the main street and BLASTED music till about midnight! Date of stay January 2010

"Montana de Fuego Hotel & Spa Spectacular View of Nature" by Trip Advisor reviews (January 07, 2010)

This Hotel with Bungalows has started in 1994 with only a few wooden Bungalows in a special design which allows a spectacular view from your balcony to the volcano and lava. Now the whole Hotel area has still some wooden Bungalows as well as stone Bungalows but all in the same style of building. A very nice pool and spa area belongs to the Hotel and a very good breakfast is served as well. Ecotourism is a important matter to the Hotel. Very friendly and helpfull staff. Perfect place to visit the Arenal Area. By car only a few minutes away from Tabcon Hot Springs and quite close to a great Restaurant (Steakhouse) El Novillo del Arenal Penasol. If we travel again to Costa Rica, this will be definatly the place where I would stay again ! Date of stay December 2009

"Nice pool area and great volcano views" by Trip Advisor reviews (January 03, 2010)

Initially 1/3 rooms booked was a mistake which was difficult (and timely) for them to correct during the busy holiday season. We booked a triple room and 2 king suites (the largest and most expensive rooms). One of the suites was not available (they tried to give us a triple room with 3 single beds and a dormlike feel to it). After a couple of wasted hours on Christmas day they were able to find a standard room in a stand-alone building which was very comfortable and we were very happy. It had a couple rocking chairs on the front porch to watch the volcano and a small deck out back overlooking the lush mountains and forest. The pool area was very nice and good for kids. I had a 1 hr. massage in the spa which was very nice, also with great atmosphere. Breakfast was good, the restaurant had great views of the volcano but it was often cloudy and in our 4 days we only saw the top twice briefly and never at night. Date of stay January 2010

"We had an incredible time!" by Trip Advisor reviews (June 11, 2009)

We decided to stay here on our honeymoon after reading other reviews and having it recommended by a friend of mine. The landscaping is beautiful and the staff took excellent care of us. The jacuzzi tub in our room wasn't working when we go there, so when we told them about it, they had someone looking at it within 5 minutes. We were definitely pleased! The room was clean, the view was excellent and it was a great location for viewing the volcano. We would definitely stay again if we go back. Date of stay June 2009
