Fodor's Expert Review Cabinas Los Guayabos

As one of the low-priced options with a volcano view, these orange adobe cabins are basic but clean with big windows and private patios, which are great for viewing wildlife and, on clear days, Arenal. This family-run place is a great alternative to the more expensive lodgings lining the road to the volcano. Rooms are colorful and bright with concrete walls, air-conditioning, tile floors, and small TVs. Although far from fancy, they've got everything you need for an affordable stay, especially if you plan on spending most of your time exploring the area's attractions. A hearty breakfast is available (not included), and Wi-Fi in the reception lets you stay connected.
