Nestled in the heart of Costa Rica’s adventure capital, this small yet exclusive accommodation offers not only comfort and privacy but also the perfect base for exploring the breathtaking wonders of Arenal Volcano and its surroundings.

A Boutique Stay Surrounded by Nature
Tropical Suites & Villas is located just a 5-minute drive from Baldi Hot Springs and the La Fortuna Waterfall, and less than 20 minutes from Arenal Volcano National Park. This means that within minutes, you can go from sipping your morning coffee to hiking through lava fields, soaking in thermal springs, or admiring one of Costa Rica’s most iconic waterfalls.
The property itself is set amidst lush tropical greenery, with mountain views and plenty of fresh air. It doesn’t feel crowded or commercial – instead, it feels like a serene oasis where you can recharge after days filled with adventure. The intimacy of having only four air-conditioned guestrooms creates a sense of exclusivity. It’s not about huge buffets or hundreds of guests; it’s about quiet moments, attentive service, and the chance to truly connect with your surroundings.
Rooms & Suites: Comfort Meets Tropical Charm

Activities Around Tropical Suites & Villas
La Fortuna and Arenal are world-famous for their incredible range of activities. Staying at Tropical Suites & Villas puts you right in the middle of it all. Here are some must-do experiences:
1. Explore Arenal Volcano National Park
Just 10.8 km away, the park offers well-marked trails through old lava fields, rainforest, and viewpoints where you can see the majestic Arenal Volcano towering above you. While the volcano hasn’t erupted since 2010, its perfect cone shape makes for stunning photographs.
2. Visit La Fortuna Waterfall
Only 5 minutes away, the La Fortuna Waterfall is one of Costa Rica’s most iconic sights. A short hike down a well-maintained trail leads you to the base, where you can swim in the cool, emerald-green pool surrounded by lush jungle.
3. Soak in Natural Hot Springs
Baldi Hot Springs and other nearby thermal pools like EcoTermales and Tabacón are fueled by Arenal’s geothermal activity. Spend your evening soaking in warm, mineral-rich waters while surrounded by tropical gardens.
4. Go Ziplining or Canopy Tours
La Fortuna is one of the best places in the world for ziplining. Fly through the treetops with views of the volcano and Lake Arenal, feeling the rush of adrenaline as you soar above the jungle canopy.
5. Wildlife Tours
Costa Rica is home to toucans, sloths, howler monkeys, and countless other species. Join a guided tour to spot wildlife in its natural habitat – whether on a jungle night walk, a boat tour along the Peñas Blancas River, or a hike with a local guide.
6. Adventure Sports
If you’re seeking more thrills, La Fortuna offers canyoning (waterfall rappelling), whitewater rafting, horseback riding, and mountain biking. It’s an adventure playground for outdoor enthusiasts.
Dining & Local Cuisine
While Tropical Suites & Villas offers continental breakfast, the real culinary adventure lies in La Fortuna’s town center, just a few minutes away. Here you’ll find everything from local sodas (small, family-run restaurants serving authentic Costa Rican dishes) to international cuisine.
Don’t miss trying:
- Casado – a traditional dish with rice, beans, plantains, salad, and your choice of meat.
- Fresh ceviche made with local fish.
- Tropical fruit juices like guanábana, maracuyá, or tamarindo.
For a more upscale experience, restaurants near the hot springs resorts often combine fine dining with views of the volcano.
Best Time to Visit La Fortuna
Costa Rica has two main seasons: the dry season (December to April) and the green season (May to November).
- The dry season is the most popular time to visit, with clear skies and the best chances of seeing the Arenal Volcano unobstructed.
- The green season means more rain, but also lush landscapes, fewer tourists, and often lower prices.
Either way, La Fortuna is a year-round destination, and Tropical Suites & Villas provides a cozy retreat no matter when you come.
