Guests love to stay at The Majestic Lodge Private Resort when they come to La Fortuna. With an authentic Costa Rica feel, it is one of the only homes in the area large enough to accommodate groups up to 30 people. - It's located near many attractions that people come to La Fortuna to see. - Each of the 10 bedrooms has high end mattresses and sheets, A/C units, and a private bathroom. - Guests love the breakfasts provided by our caretakers and the outside swimming pool and Jacuzzi are amazing. The space People just love to come to La Fortuna when visiting Costa Rica because it is such a special place. Not only do you get surrounded by the natural beauty of the Costa Rican rain forest, but La Fortuna provides so many adventurous things to do. From hiking the volcano to swimming in the hot springs, or spotting sloths on a nature walk and seeing toucans and monkey as you fly through the air on zip lines 400 feet off the ground, the number of things you can experience in this one place is not comparable to anywhere else in the world. So naturally, when people have such amazing experiences, they want to share those experiences with friends and family. That’s where we come in. The Majestic Lodge is more than just a big house on Airbnb. Yes, we do have 10 bedrooms and 13 bathrooms, and yes, we do have the capacity to sleep up to 32 people which is more than any other vacation rental in the area, but what is so great about The Majestic Lodge is that we create 5-Star resort experiences in the comfortable home setting where everyone can be together under one roof. This makes The Majestic Lodge the top choice for large groups, retreats, family get-togethers, anniversary parties, or multi-family Vacations. And speaking of vacations, people go on vacations to have fun and relax, not to stress out over planning a vacation, especially trying to plan vacations for large groups. So let us help you out. VACATION PACKAGES As a private resort, we can offer several vacation packages to help our guests relax and enjoy their time in Costa Rica.

When you book or inquire about booking, let us know if you would like to add the meal package. TRASPORTATION PACKAGE After traveling for several hours, the last thing you want to do is to wait another hour in the line at a car rental place arguing with the agent why the amount your were quotes online is so much less then the amount you are being charged at the car rental place. Go ahead and skip this hassle. Let us save you time and money by greeting you at the airport and bringing you directly to your destination. However, it doesn’t need to be a direct trip, we can also stop at a delicious restaurants or pick up certain supplies from the store on the way to our Private Resort. Transportation by taxies to La Fortuna from the Liberia and San Jose Airports usually cost around $350 for a one way trip for up to 8 people, $400 for a group between 8 and 10 people, $550 for a group between 10 and 18, and $800 for a group between 18 and 30 people.

When these bookings are accepted, the whole property is served for that booking group only and no other groups can book the property for the same time even if there are rooms not being used. - When the whole property has not been fully booked out by a large group and there are vacancies within the next 30 days, individual room rentals may become available. Because Airbnb lacks certain setting to make this option available on their website or app, we accommodate this option by dropping the overall price by 90% to make the property visible to smaller groups who may be interested in staying at The Majestic Lodge. The price that is quoted does not include the whole property. The rooms range between $80 and $160 per room per night plus cleaning fees and airbnb fees. If you would like to book your stay during that time, Just send us a message letting us know how many people are in your group and how many rooms you would like to book and we will respond with a quote for the number of rooms and days. This has been written to help clarify any confusion of the advertised price that you may see when you initially try to book with less than 30 days into the future.

Guest access Guests that book this listing are able to enjoy the whole property. Including all 10 bedrooms, 13 bathrooms, the pool, the jacuzzi, and the weight room in the back. Other things to note There is an additional $20 charge per guest per day after 16 guests ages 5 or older when renting out the entire property. Any time the booking price is around $100 without the fees, on this listing, the price that is shown is for an individual room.

Majestic Lodge/10 bedrooms/Sleeps 32/Volcano views - Houses for Rent in El Castillo, Alajuela Province, Costa Rica

Betto and the team made our group of 11 feel right at home. We opted for the meal package and enjoyed excellent home cooked meals. They answered our questions, helped us with transportation, and provided recommendations. The Majestic Lodge comfortably fit our group and was just as lovely as the pictures. I highly recommend for a large group visiting La Fortuna

This place was perfect for our family of 8 adults and 8 small children.  The veranda and pool area were outstanding.  We highly recommend this place and please take advantage of the chef service.  The home is a little out of the way for the LaFortuna activites we chose, but the home was so wonderful, it made the extra drive worth it.

It was spectacular. The house met our expectations, and the staff's service was impeccable. César, Caty, and María made our stay absolutely perfect. The food was varied and very tasty. The location, close to tours and walks, is unbeatable. Both are for twelve people, and having them available at all times was a plus. Absolutely recommended.

Fue espectacular. La casa colmó las expectativas, la atención del personal fue impecable. César, Caty y María nos hicieron la estadía mejor imposible. La comida variada y muy gustosa. La ubicación, cerca de tours y paseos, es inmejorable. Las dos van para doce personas a disposición permanente fue un plus. Absolutamente recomendable

Like staying in a mansion. Wish we could have stayed longer.

Majestic Lodge was a wonderful place for us to stay - large group of college friends, spouses, adult children, and grandchildren. The resort staff was very helpful and attentive in ensuring that we had a great time - Betto and Karen on logistics, Cesar and others in the kitchen, Maria and others on the cleaning crew. Meal service was excellent, flexible and cost-effective. They were willing to come in super early on days when we had early outings. Strongly recommend signing up for meals. Makes a huge difference to be able to focus on touristing and not spend the whole vacation on food shopping, meal planning, cooking and cleaning up. The lodge has a hot tub and small swimming pool that we enjoyed, a large covered deck where we ate all our meals, and views of both the lake and the volcano. Highly recommend the Lodge, relaxing and enjoyable vacation. We went on multiple outings with “Birding and Nature Fortuna” great operation. Bring rain gear, it’s the rainforest so can rain.

If I could I’d give Shilo and the Majestic Lodge 10 stars. The home is in a beautiful tropical area with a view of the Arenal volcano. Our family of 22 purchased the Presidential Package which provided us with two wonderful cooks/housekeepers and transportation to and from the airport in San Jose. Shilo helped line up activities: zip lining, treks through the jungle and soaks in the thermal springs. Meals were fantastic. We were given 2 roomy vans to use for transportation. The best part of our stay was the hospitality and care we received from our hosts, especially Beto and Karen. They were instantly responsive when we had questions or requests. When we mentioned we loved karaoke, they rented a set for us. The best example of Beto’s responsiveness was on the day we left for home. Wires had fallen across the main road out. Beto led our bus to the the blockage. He leaped up on the roof of his vehicle, and held the wires up high enough for our bus to get through. He is amazing!

We absolutely loved our stay at the majestic. Our family group of 13 had plenty had plenty of room with rooms to spare. Beto and his family are wonderful and helped us with our plans , excursions and last minute dinner plans. We awoke to fresh coffee and lovely meals prepared by Maria daily. Wish for it at the Majestic and Beto and his family will supply. The family enjoyed nights in the jacuzzi and playing board games on the deck! Could not have asked for a better 80th birthday celebration for our mom! Thank you for everything looking forward to future stays. Pura Vida John and Laura

John and Laura, thank you so much for your kind and heartfelt words. We are truly honored that you chose the Majestic to celebrate such a special milestone for your mom’s 80th birthday. It means the world to us that your family felt comfortable, well cared for, and able to enjoy the space together.  Beto, and his family, and Maria will be so happy to hear how much you appreciated their help, meals, and attention to every detail. We definitely try to make every wish come true :). It was our pleasure to help make your stay memorable. We look forward to welcoming you all back for many more unforgettable stays. PURA VIDA!

Most of what made this trip great came directly from the host, cohost and their management team — Beto and his wife Lady. They handled almost everything during my stay, and they did it with real consistency. They responded fast before, during, and even after the trip, which made planning and troubleshooting effortless. Breakfast every morning wasn’t just a routine — they prepared it with care and made sure it was ready when expected. Their guidance around the area was practical, specific, and actually useful, not the usual tourist pamphlet suggestions. Any time something came up, they stepped in immediately and handled it without excuses. They’re the reason the experience felt smooth, supported, and well-run.

Thank you so much Mehr for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review. It truly means a lot to us. We’re grateful you had a smooth, well-supported stay and that our team was able to make your trip more enjoyable from start to finish. We always aim to go above and beyond for our guests, so hearing that the consistency, communication, and guidance made a difference really makes us very happy. It was a pleasure hosting you, and you’re welcome back anytime. Thank you again for choosing us and for being such a wonderful guest!

We hosted a women’s retreat for 4 nights at the Majestic Lodge, and space, the scenery, and the family on site we worked with were all the highlights of our trip! It is about 40 minutes from Fortuna center, there are a couple of stores/restaurants in walking distance, but not too much. We did have a few few meals cooked by Doña Mari- and there were incredible, highly recommend. Jose and Lady were so attentive during our stay and did everything they could to coordinate transportation, massages, and help with luggage. They made our stay wonderful. I may stay here again-although not as a retreat host- not a communicative vendor. When trying to coordinate meals and transportation prior to the trip the hosts were all non-responsive. We ended up making it work, but honestly I felt they only pushed things that would make them more money rather than genuinely being helpful. I.e. renting the van through them is significantly more expensive than with Alamo. That soured my experience.

The Majestic Lodge is fantastic! It was the perfect choice for our party that needed six bedrooms. While we were only 11 adult guests, it seemed just the right size for us. Yes there are plenty of additional beds for larger parties. The lodge is in a sparsely populated area with beautiful views of lake Arenal and the volcano and is walking distance to a very good restaurant. The beds were very comfortable, the deck is amazing and the pool and hot tub were very enjoyable. Jose, our on-site host, was super helpful and super friendly. At our request, he arranged to have a meal prepared for us on the deck, which was delicious and very reasonably priced. This included birthday cakes also at our request. The  breakfasts were always ready and tasty as well. Jose even went as far as getting us all laundry baskets so he could arrange to have that done for us. If you have a need, just ask, and he will get it for you. You won’t be disappointed with the Majestic Lodge!

We can’t say enough positive words about our stay.  The hosts were great and prepared wonderful  breakfasts at times we requested.  We had authentic Costa Rican and American breakfast foods.  One morning we had a Honduran breakfast as a special treat from Betto (and his wife) as my son and he both served missions in Honduras.  They went above and beyond working through the night when the van broke down to get it fixed by morning for us. Hosts recommended places to eat and things to see while visiting Costa Rica.  Even found out when baby turtles were being released.  Took family photos for us.  Airbnb’s exceeded our expectations in every way possible.  Would highly recommend to anyone planning a trip.  The pictures provided don’t do the places justice.  Everything was better than what the pictures showed.  We were extremely impressed with every aspect of our stay from booking to our stay to our checkout.  The hosts were there to greet us and there to send us off in Pura Vida style!

Thank you so much Shanna for your incredibly kind words! It was truly a pleasure hosting you and your family. We’re so happy you enjoyed the breakfasts, the local recommendations, and that special Honduran breakfast treat :), it meant a lot to us too! We always want our guests to feel cared for and experience the best of Costa Rica, so hearing that we exceeded your expectations means the world. Thank you for being such wonderful guests and for bringing such positive energy to our home. We wish you all the best on your future travels and hope to welcome you back again someday soon. Pura Vida 🌴

Really an amazing place to stay with a group. Stunning views of the Arenal Volcano and the lake. Absolutely serene. Highly recommend.

The majestic lodge was a wonderful place to have to ourselves. Betto was very helpful when booking activities and the meals were delicious.

Nice hosts and support staff. They can cook meals so you can relax and help with travel services/excursions which was a nice plus. The house is quite large which is often hard to find, but unfortunately the house is dated and not well maintained. The fans weren't working on the deck, the pool waterfall was non-functional, several toilets were running.  One of the rooms had ants in the beds and another one had water coming in from the outside when it rained. We didn't have enough clean towels. In addition, the house is about 30 minutes from the majority of activities which are located in the main Arenal area.

Great to have 10 en suite rooms. Catering was great. There was a bit of road noise at the weekend but otherwise great

We absolutely loved our stay in Shiloh’s home! Betto and the others were all so helpful and were great cooks. Having meals ready when we got home from our activities was very convenient especially for our group of 11 adults. The beds were also super comfortable and there were plenty of rooms for us to spread out and have our own space. The home was in a convenient location in the middle of many of our activities and a short 20-30 min drive into the town of La Fortuna

The majestic is an amazing property. Beautiful views and it fit all 24 of us comfortably. Betto the host was incredible, from helping planning activities and transportation, to giving us local recommendations. The food was amazing too and there was always enough for our group of college age guys. I would come back in a heartbeat.

My friends family and my family had great time staying at Majestic lodge. Betto and Joel are awesome. Took care of Transportation. Betto was awesome with resturant recommendations and places to visit. Took adavantage of at home massage. Recommend for any large group.

Beto was awesome who manages the house. Every transportation was meticulously set up. The woman who cooked breakfast and dinners for us were also the A team. Beds were comfortable, house was clean. I would recommend Magical!

My group had a wonderful time staying at the Majestic Lodge! Special shoutout to Betto and Helen who made us feel so at home. We loved the daily breakfast and also took advantage of the at-home massages and transportation options. Would definitely recommend to any big groups visiting La Fortuna/ Arenal area

Great stay and awesome location.  The staff was great and helped us with so many things.  We enjoyed the chef - Helen was awesome.

We had a great time at the Lodge.  Betto is second to none!  He was extremely responsive, provided us with countless recommendations, and was happy to provide transportation for us when needed via the transportation package.  The homemade breakfasts were delicious while looking at the volcano.  We will be back!

The views from the house was amazing. I suggest to do the upgrade to not worry about  transportation . I hosted a retreat here and we loved it .

Amazing stay. Thank you so much. Jose a true asset and excellent professionalism.

breakfast was included which was great. the dinner meals were good and fairly priced. great place to stay y.

This house was great! Perfect for a large group! Host was very responsive and having breakfast cooked for us every morning was amazing! Would definitely stay again next time we are in the area.

We were a group of 10 friends wanting somewhere comfortable to stay that was peaceful but also within access of the various rainforest activities in the La Fortuna region. Majestic Lodge delivered on all of these things, it is remote enough to make you feel immersed in the beautiful Costa Rican rainforest but close enough to the activities you want to do…zip lining, kayaking, and hiking to the volcano in particular. The house is maintained to a high standard and each morning we were served a different breakfast by Leidy which was a great way to start each day. The pool is a great addition, a warm top and a cool bottom pool was enjoyable. Betto took care of use throughout, helpful in organising taxis (even at short notice when we didn’t have one organised) and recommending local activities to do. Overall, a spectacular location and place to stay in one of the most beautiful parts of the world. Would highly recommend for large groups of friends and / or family.

If I could give them more stars, I would! Aside from the place being absolutely beautiful, Beto and his wife Leidy were the most kind and accommodating hosts I’ve ever experienced! Anything we mentioned even if it wasn’t actually asked for, Beto found a way to get it almost immediately. The house was clean and close enough to many attractions, and the food was homemade and delicious. The presidential package was well worth the money as we never went without transportation or food. Highly recommend this incredible place!

it was great from service to location beautiful house  hosts amazing thank you

Shiloh's place was perfect for our big group. The hosts were extremely attentive and super fun. The rooms were very comfortable and we loved the pools and the view. We cooked and enjoyed our time in the kitchen!

We loved staying at this place! very close to the lake and the Arenal national park and not that crowded as downtown. Betto and Laidy were amazing hosts, very attentive to our needs. I definitely recommend staying here.

A good welcome from Betto. He, and his wife, were most helpful throughout. Good bedrooms with private bathrooms, but no living/sitting room for 10 of us to gather, only the outside area. Lovely pool and hot tub, much enjoyed. We found El Castillo rather far from most of the activities, which meant a lot of driving; however, there were two good restaurants nearby.

Our family loved the pool, outdoor covered area and having breakfast cooked for us daily. The on site caretakers were very responsive and helpful during our stay.

Beto & his wife were such gracious hosts! Beto provided us with transportation whenever we needed it, and his wife made us breakfast each morning (DELICIOUS!). My family & I felt right at home and felt so welcomed. Beautiful views of the volcano and lake in a peaceful and quiet setting. The hottub and pool were pristinely clean. There were such lovely details throughout the huge house that made you feel cared for. We can't recommend this place enough! 5 STARS!

Amazing from start to finish. Incredible stay.

Great option 👌 We stayed 20 people and had a great time. The hosts are super kind, helpful and always available. The house is very cozy, just what we require for our group we require.

Excelente opción 👌 Nos hospedamos 20 personas y la pasamos increíble. Los anfitriones son super amables, serviciales y siempre al pendiente. La casa es muy acogedora, justo lo que requerimos para nuestro grupo.

Amazing place and you can tell that they are putting a lot of time and effort into making it a pristine place. Betto and his family were incredibly helpful and nice. Will definitely be back

Housekeeper Betto and his lovely wife Lady were amazing hosts. They went out of their way to help. Small suggestions like adding better lighting for the stairs outside... Solar night lights were installed the next day. Lady's daily home cooked breakfast was delicious.  The house is being renovated, so I think we got fist use of the bed. Clean comfortable. The Frog room was perfect. The view. The bed. The walk in shower. We loved it. 2 houses down you have The Howlers bar. The icing is the hottub with the pool. Amazing peaceful view. Best way to end a day of hiking in Costa Rica. Pura Vida

I loved our visit. Betto, the caretaker, helped us out with everything. Gave us recommendations, fed us delicious food made by his wife and answered all of our questions. Will recommend to anyone who wants to visit Costa Rica. The house was cozy and filled all of our needs and expectations.

This place was absolutely beautiful. I didn’t want to leave. I stayed in the Jaguar room. It had its own entrance and it had a two person jacuzzi tub right in the room. For breakfast Betto and Leidy made me my first Costa Rica breakfast with fresh orange juice. They are both so kind and made me feel like I was at home. I ate breakfast (Gallo Pinto) on the deck next to the pool and jacuzzi facing the lake and volcano mountains. It truly was so relaxing. Shiloh was a great host and extremely hospitable and he helped me figure out things to do in the area. I ended up going to the hot springs in Arenal which was very close. If you are wanting to spend time in La Fortuna or Arenal. I highly recommend this place it’s close to everything yet feels like you are in a very private sanctuary!!

Loved this airbnb. Will definitely consider rebooking in future!
