Hotel Los Lagos Spa & Resort – A Favorite for Families in La Fortuna

The hotel sits at the base of Arenal Volcano and offers a network of natural hot spring pools, cold pools, and two water slides. A swim-up wet bar at the seasonal outdoor pool serves cocktails and snacks. The property also has a walking trail to a volcano viewpoint, plus on-site adventure activities including a canopy tour with 13 cables.

Air-conditioned rooms and villas come with cable TV, a minibar, and a safe. Villas include a kitchenette and lounge area, while superior rooms and standard rooms are located in different sections of the property. Some rooms have a back patio opening to gardens, and several are set far from the main pool area for a quieter stay.

Las Palmas Restaurant serves traditional Costa Rican dishes and a daily breakfast buffet with an omelet station. The Lemnos Wet Bar at the seasonal pool offers a casual dining menu and drinks. A separate bar in the main building provides an evening menu that includes Chifrijo, a local pork and bean dish.

The hotel organizes horseback riding, visits to frog, butterfly, and crocodile farms, and guided walks on the property. A 2.8 km hike leads to a viewpoint overlooking the volcano and lake. Multiple pools with free-flowing stream water and a pool with a water slide are open year-round.

Fangus Spa offers advanced wellness treatments and therapies, with spa/wellness packages available. The hot springs are fed by a continuous flow of fresh, mineral-rich water, and the property has multiple thermal pools at different temperatures.
