Jungle-View Bungalows
Hotel Heliconias Nature Inn & Hot Springs offers four types of bungalows: Standard, Glass, Treehouse, and Deluxe. Each features hardwood and glass construction, air conditioning, private bathrooms with hot water showers, and flat-screen TVs. The Glass Bungalow has a 300° jungle view from the bed, while the Treehouse Bungalow sits 10 feet (3m) above ground with a panoramic jungle vista. The Deluxe Treehouse, elevated 20 feet (~6m) in a mango tree, includes fresh fruit, champagne, and access to a farm tour.
On-Site Dining
The open-air restaurant serves Costa Rican meals, including abuelo's secret recipes. Breakfast is complimentary, with options like fresh fruit, homemade bread, and coffee. Dinner features fresh cocktails and locally sourced ingredients. The restaurant overlooks the gardens and pool.
Nature-Focused Activities
Guests can explore the organic farm, swim in hot and cold thermal pools, or join guided tours. Options include birdwatching at dawn, night walks to spot frogs and insects, and a chocolate-making workshop using cacao from the farm. The Children's Eternal Rainforest tour includes a 10km hike to a volcanic lagoon and waterfall.
La Fortuna Access
The lodge is 11 miles (17km) south of La Fortuna, near Route 702. Nearby landmarks include San Isidro (1 km), Finca Luna Nueva (3.5 km), and Proyecto Asis (5 km). The staff can arrange transport to Arenal's hot springs or adventure tours in the national park.
Family-Run Hospitality
The Costa Rican family managing the lodge provides personalized service, from farm tours with hermano to salon treatments by tía. Staff assist with tour bookings, and abuelo Omar shares stories over honey-moonshine. Complimentary amenities include Wi-Fi, parking, and daily fruit.
“Hotel Heliconias understands its niche, providing a secluded nature escape just outside the bustle of La Fortuna. The treehouse bungalows and on-site hot springs cater to families and couples seeking both adventure and relaxation, while the personalized service elevates the experience beyond the typical resort stay. I particularly appreciate their commitment to showcasing local culture through organic farming and specialized tours.”
