We had a wonderful stay at Hotel Magic Mountain, mainly enjoying the spectacular views of Arenal Volcano and lush surroundings. The room was spacious and came with a giant Jacuzzi tub, making it feel extra luxurious at a reasonable price. Although the breakfast options were somewhat limited and the pools could be cooler, the overall experience was delightful, and I would definitely consider staying here again if given the chance.

I had an amazing experience at this hotel with stunning views of Arenal Volcano right from my room. The pool area is beautiful, and the amenities are top-notch. The location is quite convenient for exploring La Fortuna and its attractions, but the Wi-Fi in the rooms could use some improvement. Overall, I found it to be a great value for the money, perfect for a relaxing getaway.

I really enjoyed my stay, especially because of the stunning views of Arenal throughout the hotel. The rooms are comfortable, and the location is great for exploring the area. However, the inconsistencies in service and some staff attitudes left something to be desired. The dining experience was mixed, with breakfast being decent but dinner not up to par.

The hotel boasts stunning views of Arenal Volcano from most rooms and its location offers easy access to nearby restaurants and attractions. While the rooms are clean and comfortable, some facilities are in need of repair. The service was a bit inconsistent, with some staff clearly overwhelmed, which affected the overall experience a bit. It's a good budget option if you plan to spend most of your time exploring rather than in the hotel itself.

My stay was overall pleasant, highlighted by stunning views of the volcano from my room. The rooms are clean and modern, adding to the overall comfort. However, access to breakfast could be more convenient since you have to call to book a slot, and the loud music at the bar made it hard to chat with friends. The entire atmosphere felt inviting, making it a nice choice for a relaxing getaway.
