La Fortuna accommodation from AU$80

Let's be honest, we don't all like blowing the budget on somewhere to stay. The Fortuna area has a good range of cheaper accommodation options. Two of the most popular options are the Arenal Hostel Resort and the Hostel Backpackers La Fortuna. Some other lower-cost hotels are the Hostel La Choza Inn and the Hotel Arenal Rabfer.

For some alternatives, look at the Springs Resort and Spa at Arenal and the Nayara Hotel Spa & Gardens. They are 7 kilometres and 6 kilometres respectively from the center. Wotif also suggests the Arenal Kioro Suites & Spa and the Tabacon Grand Spa Thermal Resort. The first is 8 kilometres away from the center, while the other is 6 kilometres away.

The nearby cities of San Isidro de Penas Blancas and El Castillo are certainly worth seeing. San Isidro de Penas Blancas is 12 kilometres to the southeast of Fortuna, while El Castillo is 13 kilometres to the southwest. San Isidro de Penas Blancas hotels and apartments are the Chachagua Rainforest Hotel & Hacienda and Finca Luna Nueva Lodge. El Castillo choices include the Arenal Vista Lodge and Hotel Castillo del Arenal.

Aussies are world famous for their love of sport, so why not visit Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto? Estadio Alejandro Morera Soto is situated to the southeast of Fortuna. Like to stay nearby? The Xandari Resort And Spa and the Costa Rica Marriott Hotel San Jose may be perfect.

Travellers planning on flying through Juan Santamaria International Airport might like to book a room at the Hampton Inn and Suites San Jose Airport or the Holiday Inn Express San Jose Costa Rica Airport, both of which are a short drive away.
