La Fortuna
Set along the skirts of the towering Arenal Volcano, La Fortuna has become one of the major tourism destinations of Costa Rica. La Fortuna is a small friendly town and is the starting point for observation of the volcano with its nighttime lava flows and smoke; as well as to explore many tourism attractions including waterfalls, hot springs, canopy tours and many other nearby sites.
Lake Arenal
The majestic Lake Arenal near the volcano is the largest in Costa Rica. It was enlarged to 3 times its original size for the production of hydroelectric power, today producing nearly 70% of all of Costa Rica’s electricity. The Lake also offers many activities, among them, windsurfing, fishing, boat tours, kayaking; and along the shore horseback riding and mountain biking.
General Hotel Information
Los Lagos is situated about half-way between the town of La Fortuna and Tabacon Hot Springs. It is situated on a huge property (some of which is pasture land) located at the base of the Arenal Volcano. There is a trail leading to an observation point that takes you just about as close as you can get to the Arenal Volcano. (Or at least as close as you would want to get!).
The hotel has 89 Standard and Superior rooms. All rooms have air-conditioning, satellite TV, hot water and private bathrooms, safety deposit boxes, a small fridge and a porch. The Superior rooms have a better view and are a little larger, plus they also have a bathtub. Each Superior room has two double beds while the Standards have either one double bed, one double and a single or one double and two singles.
