B66 Boutique hideaway hotel behind Arenal Volcano - $515,630 |
| Located within hiking distance of the famous and popular Catarata Fortuna, or Fortuna Waterfall, is this beautiful small hotel in colonial style. (See our Google Earth image below of this hidden charmer's fantastic location.) With six buildings amid approximately two acres of lush landscaping, the bright and airy getaway gaurantees an exotic experience in the jungled hills at the base of the Arenal Volcano. Costa Rica is famous for its wildlife and here is a perfect place to observe and listen to the animals and birds rampant in the jungle and even on the grounds of this hotel. The main building contain the spacious common areas on the first floor and opens to the large heated swimming pool. On the second floor is the owner's or manager's large apartment opening onto a grand terrace. Walkways lead to four modern air-conditioned villas with outdoor as well as indoor showers. The sixth building houses the reception area and the employees' quarters. The asking price is far below the value of the hotel. Also available is a neighboring undeveloped property of nearly 11/2 acres, which, if added to the hotel property, could serve for expansion. The hotel is hidden by a high wall and landscaping from the road that runs past it to the Fortuna Waterfall. This prime tourist attraction, with its beautiful hiking trail, views of the volcano and Cerro Chato, spectacular waterfall and swimming pond, has its trailhead just about 200 yards past the hotel. The tour company Arenal Mundo Aventura has an extensive zipline canopy tour that passes above the waterfall. |
