Welcome to Arenal History Inn

Arenal History Inn is a small and cozy hotel located in La Fortuna de San Carlos.

Arenal History Inn: Handy Cabins near the Volcano

It's no secret that the Arenal Volcano area is the adventure capital of Costa Rica. Alongside places like Manuel Antonio on the Pacific coast, there's pound-for-pound more to see and do around Arenal than most other locations in the country. 

While staying in Arenal, it makes sense to go for comfortable, inexpensive, and accessible as your hotel choice. Saving money on a hotel you're not going to be in much anyway allows you more freedom to enjoy the many activities around Arenal. That's where the Arenal History Inn comes in and succeeds.

Comfort, Value, and Accessibility

This small hotel combines comfort, value, and accessibility in one cozy package. It's within walking distance (or a very short ride) from the center of La Fortuna. This is the town that serves the Arenal Volcano area, where all the main businesses are. It's ideal for anyone seeking easy access to restaurants, bars, and stores while also having a good home base for nature and adventure tours

With just ten cabins, the Arenal History Inn offers a boutique, rustic feel. Each cabin has a volcano view, and guests simply have to step outside to the terrace to enjoy it. Rooms come with bedding arrangements that suit both couples and families alike. And although the cabins are not luxurious, they all have the usual amenities guests expect from a modern stay, including cable TVs, WiFi, and more. Here, you can rest and relax before the next adventure starts. For guests looking for a cozy and inexpensive place to take advantage of all the opportunities in Arenal, Arenal History Inn makes sense. 

Outside of the rooms, guests will find a great pool set amid well-kept gardens to unwind and admire the local flora. Parents and little ones alike will appreciate that there is also a shallow pool for kids. The hotel is also home to the La Piura Restaurant, the area's main go-to spot for lovers of Peruvian cuisine. 

Prepare for Adventure in Costa Rica

If you're a traveler interested in substance over style, then look no further than the Arenal History Inn. Enjoy a snug location where to eat and sleep between white water rafting, hiking, zip lining, rappelling, hot springs, and more. Arenal awaits and it was never easier to reach!

Our agent made our honeymoon stress-free and fun! She was available throughout, even when I felt unwell early in the trip. Her support and great recommendations helped us feel better fast. So grateful for the special touches she added along the way.
