There are an incredible number of hotels in the Arenal area that have a view of Arenal Volcano. However, there are some hotels in nearby towns such as El Castillo and La Fortuna that offer quality affordable accommodation but don't have a view of the volcano. The advantage to being in town is that there are a number of services such as restaurants and Internet, while the country setting of many of the hotels with views require travel to town for those tourism services.

Arenal vacation planning resources and tools:
The Arenal Volcano area is scenic and charming. It is spring like and I can understand why so many ex-pats have chosen this area to retire.
Arenal has a lovely lake and around the lake there are homes, services, and in some places ranches.
Near La Fortuna, be sure to check out the lovely waterfalls. There's a great swimming hole and you'll be sure to encounter other travelers.
Arenal Volcano is one of the world's wonders. Arenal explodes regularly and is visited and studied by many. Arenal Volcano explodes nearly daily since 1968.
There's a ranger station near Arenal Volcano and it's possible to hike from the station. Although the routes aren't very long, the view are excellent on a clear day.
