Linda Vista Hotel is located at El Castillo, just 22 km from La Fortuna downtown. A perfect choice for hikes in the Arenal Volcano National Park or activities on Lake Arenal. There is, however, a nice range of amenities located at the hotel for those that would rather stay put. Guests will enjoy lounging within the hotel's unique three-tiered swimming pool, which affords spectacular views of the volcano, and relaxing jacuzzi. The Loma Linda Restaurant serves up a nice variety of international and national meals, including a large free breakfast every morning. Guests in need of libations can visit the bar, which is stocked with beers, wines, juices, liquors and more. The rooms at Linda Vista are clean and spacious. Tile floors extend to private terraces, where guests can sit and enjoy astounding views of the Arenal Volcano. All rooms are equipped with a private hot water bathroom, ceiling fan, a/c, and coffee maker.

Nice hotel with great views. The view of the lake is amazing, have breakfast with this view is the best way to start your day! The rooms are OK, a bit outdated, but clean and all seems to work. It's a save place to stay. A 15 minute drive to town, but the restaurant on site is fine. Service is great.

Wonderful hotel and amazing views, The arenal volcano is not active but it is still amazing, there are no volcanoes where I live. The arenal lake is home of many activities and water sports, we had a good fishing tour.

We stayed at Linda Vista two nights in December 2022. The view of the lake and volcano is breathtaking. The staff at the desk as well as security were friendly and helpful in many ways. Natalia Morales at the front desk was great! The on site restaurant was welcoming with good service, including a bar, although pricy for what we got. Room was clean but sparse in furnishings. Nice balcony looking out on lake and volcano.
