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.
