Arenal Backpackers Resort

Opened in 2001 and part of the Costa Rica Hostel Network, we were the first hostel in La Fortuna. Vibrant, spontaneous, fun, and with a lot of energy. We wanted to give the comfort that a hotel can offer and the experience of meeting other travelers with the same ideas. A mix of private rooms, safari tents, cylinder rooms, and dorms will give you the options to choose according to your budget. Run by Costa Ricans, we've been learning from our guests and sharing any information or advice that could help them in their journey.
