Nice although simple place overlooking the volcano
Pros:

On the whole, a friendly structure with a beautiful view over the area of Arenal Volcano. The rooms are in detached buildings and are spacious although quite simple in terms of services (room telephone would be a good addition). Meals are also ‘minimal’ but surely tasty. Nice staff. Not centric.

Paradise
Pros:

Linda Vista del Norte is paradise on earth. The hotel is located in the shadow of the Arenal Volcano. My wife and I watched the sun rise over Arenal, and set over the mountains. The staff of the establishment understands the meaning of “Pura Vida” and live it in every way. When we arrived at the hotel, we were met with a gracious smile and honest welcome from Bryan. He, as well as the rest of the staff, made us feel as though we were coming home. As if we were welcomed family members who were weary from traveling. They attended to everything. The rooms were immaculate. The onsite restaurant, Loma Linda, is phenomenal. There is honestly no need to ever leave the property. As I was checking out, I asked Bryan if I could take a picture. He assumed I meant if he would take one of my wife and I. Not at all. I took this picture because he was such an important and integral part of our first trip to Costa Rica. The other picture is from our room. Waking up in the shadow of Arenal, seeing the sun rising over it, hearing nature around us and the warmth of the staff. This is why I say that Linda Vista del Norte is paradise. There is not a more appropriate word to describe it. This may be the first time, but definitely will not be the last. We will most certainly visit Linda Vista del Norte hotel again. Pura Vida every one. Pura Vida my new friend Bryan.

Hotel Linda Vista
Pros:

This place is a hidden gem. We were a bit skeptical at first for $55/night, but after staying 2 nights, we couldn’t believe it was only $55 a night. Clean spacious rooms, AC, hot water and some really amazing views. We definitely recommend this hotel and they also have a great on site restaurant with amazing views of Arenal Volcano & Lake. They also have a pool and jacuzzi. They also have a great restaurant on site with excellent food, friendly staff, and amazing views.
