The hotel offers a unique view of the volcano and lava and spectacular views of Arenal Lake and the surrounding area. The Arenal Observatory Lodge has grown in popularity especially since March 2007 as the lodge has been able to see the lava flows from the southwest side of the volcano. The hotel is about 20-30 minutes away from the main town of La Fortuna and a few minutes from the local village of El Castillo. It is best to have a car although most tours will pick-up from the Arenal Observatory Lodge for an extra pick-up charge.
