I inquired about availability of a room on a particular night. They stated on receipt of billing information that they would confirm a room in my name. I provided billing information and they responded with additional forms that made no sense. I then instructed them to make no reservation for me and to confirm my credit card had not be... more

Although when we arrived here, they had not received our reservation request fax and therefore had no reserved room for us, we were still greeted warmly and they did have available space for us. As we paid at the front counter we were brought awesome fruit drinks and welcomed graciously. Although we found the beds very uncomfortable, the cheap price... more

Good buy with a friendly staff. Computer service available in the lobby. The casino was lame though but it was in the middle of the week. Try the pizza at the bar. Otherwise the food was average. Good central location for travelling around the area. If you took a tour the rates were reduced. more

This place has a great pool and view, however didn't live up to expectations. The hot tub wasn't working. There really isn't a casino, a room with casino tables empty. The staff was ok, but not all were pleasant. Nice bathroom with big tub though. more

We're stayed in Luigi's for 3 nights. We had a nice room, with a balcony with 2 rocking chairs, a great view of the volcano (not the side where you'll see lava though), overlooking the pool too. The rooms are comfy, with TV, A/C and decent bathroom, nice and clean too. The staff were helpful enough, but not great for... more

We stayed there for only one night as there's not much to do if you stay longer than that. The hotel is well located as it's on the main road ; however, being next to the main road involves hearing the big trucks when you are at the restaurant. The rooms are more in the back so you will not... more

Luigi runs a tight ship at this family-run hotel and restaurant. Don't be fooled by the Italian name and food...Luigi is a tico from Monteverde, and will give you all the info you need to have a great stay in La Fortuna/Arenal. Some highlights were a hike through El Silencio rainforest park (monkeys, birds, lush fauna), zip-lining accross the canopy... more

I was traveling to Fortuna from Sarapiqui and managed to get a room here by phone the night before my arrival. I payed 50$ for a room with two beds and a great view of the volcano. Rooms are clean with hot water showers. The pool is well maintained and the breakfast very decent. Staff was ok-pleasant, service also ok.... more

We found Luigi's by using the Frommer's Tour Book for Costa Rica. We chose Luigi's because every other place was booked that night. We paid $40 a night in November (coming to the end of low season). The accommodations were average- the book described "hostel like" and I agree. The restaurant was good and the service was great- even though... more

Tthe Lonely Planet book has this place in its "top end" section, and I thought for $70 a night it would be. It's not terrible, but just not that great. It's clean and central, good if you dont have a car, and the volcano views are excellent. The rooms and the pool are old and tired and the staff arent... more
