Hotel Dorothy

When visiting Arenal Volcano, most tourists either stay in very high-end luxury resorts, or they stay in La Fortuna town, for a little more flexibility and local flavor. There are a variety of budget to mid-range places to stay in La Fortuna, and a number of good restaurants, all within walking distance to one another.

Hotel Dorothy is a very cute hostel-type arrangement. All rooms are private with their own hot-water baths, and range in price from $6-8 per night, per person (even if you are sharing a room with a friend). Internet is included, and food and drinks are also available for purchase. The rooms are small and basic, but clean. The bathrooms were actually quite nice, with big showers.

The very friendly owner, Noel, was incredibly helpful in arranging all of our activities, providing suggestions and booking everything for us. If you are doing any of the usual tours (such as hikes to the volcano, waterfall, white water rafting, etc...) wait until you arrive to book, as he can sometimes arrange discounts and has good suggestions as to which tours are worth your time and money.
