Observatory Lodge
Arenal Observatory Lodge
The Arenal Observatory Lodge is surrounded by montane rain
forest. The main lodge has a bar, restaurant and terrace with
views of the volcano and Lake Arenal. It is a five minute
walk across a suspension bridge from the main lodge to the
pool and twenty-four superior rooms, all of which feature
private bath and a full window view of the volcano. Access
to the facility is over an un-maintained, bumpy gravel road
that crosses a small river (no bridge). On-site you hike local
trails and lava flows near the lodge. The lodge currently views
the active side of the volcano. The Arenal Volcano is most
impressive at night. During the day, you can see the smoke and
hear the volcano's roar. On a clear dark night, bursts of fire
and red-hot rocks can be seen shooting hundreds of feet into the sky.
Incandescent lava material cascades down the sides. When the
activity increases, explosions happen every few hours. Arenal
Observatory Lodge is one of the highest rated eco-lodges in Costa
Rica.
