Sleep where
the ride ends
Costa Rica's first wellness cycling lodge, at the foot of Arenal Volcano.
This isn't a hotel that tolerates cyclists.
It was built by cyclists, with the things you miss when you travel with a bike: your bike sleeps inside with you — mounted on the wall, not dumped in a parking lot — there's somewhere to hose off when you come back muddy, and the route starts at the gate.
La Fortuna de San Carlos, Costa Rica.
«We don't sell rooms. We sell days you'll still remember years from now.»
The routes
The route starts at the gate
Mountain, gravel and road all leave from here. The volcano is with you most of the way.
- 01MountainForest singletrack and the 1968 lava flows.
- 02GravelFarm roads and loose stone, with Arenal in the background.
- 03RoadFast tarmac out to the lake and the long way home.
What guests tell us most
Open your eyes. The volcano is right there.
A hotel with this view from the bed is hard to find in La Fortuna. You don't have to go looking for Arenal or pay an entrance fee: it's there when you wake up, and it's still there when you get into the hot water in the afternoon.
- A volcano in your windowThe cabin's window frames the whole of Arenal. From the bed, without getting up.
- Private jacuzzi, not sharedYours alone. Four of the five villas have one; The Captain has a pool.
We absolutely loved our stay at this beautiful Airbnb! The space is beautiful, clean, and very well maintained. The hot tub in the back is the PERFECT place to sit and enjoy the view or the Arenal volcano that is right in front of you. The experience is phenomenal and we felt very well taken care of.

After the ride
The day doesn't end when you get off the bike
Half an hour in the jacuzzi with the volcano in front of you changes how you wake up the next morning. Here that's part of the plan, not an extra you pay for.
Where it is
La Fortuna, at the foot of Arenal
Volcano, hot springs, waterfalls and rainforest in the same day. You're five minutes from the hot springs, ten from the waterfall, and two from town for dinner.

It was a fantastic stay. The accommodation is very nice, even more so than in the photos. Very clean and beautifully furnished. Highly recommended for everyone, even if you don't want to cycle.

ChristophMontverde, FloridaJune 2026 A very warm and quiet place to share as a couple or as a family. The host treated us excellently and the house was exactly as in the published photos, very clean. It is 5 minutes from the hot springs area, and there are restaurants nearby.
Kendy De Los AngelesSan José, Costa RicaOctober 2025 Fantastic location, epic bathroom design with super tall ceiling, cold AC 😁
SeanAustin, TexasJuly 2026 Great stay with 2 children ages 7 and 10. While this is a bike and bed, it was very family friendly. The kids and adults enjoyed the pool, the views, and the cozy environment. The attention to detail made our stay fabulous! The place is spotless.
CarminaCelina, TexasJuly 2026 Everything was perfect. The place is very cool and safe. The staff he has are extremely helpful and friendly. I highly recommend this place and we will definitely be back. Location is very central to everything as well
JohnToronto, CanadaJuly 2026 This Airbnb was absolutely perfect for my group of 5 friends. The location is exactly where you want to be when in La Fortuna. We were 5 minutes from Baldi Hot Springs, 10 minutes from La Fortuna Waterfall, and less than 2 minutes from restaurants, coffee shops, gift shops, a strip to walk around and explore.
AlyssaChatham, PennsylvaniaOctober 2025 We had a great stay. The villa accommodated everyone very well. The location was excellent with a peaceful setting just outside downtown. The landscaping was beautiful and we enjoyed the plunge pool every day.
LynneCrownsville, MarylandJuly 2026 Very clean and modern design, very private and secure, super responsive and friendly, great location right near town, coffee bar right across street, would highly recommend! Great air conditioning!
MatthewNashville, TennesseeJune 2026 Bike and Bed was a great place for our stay in La Fortuna! The team provided excellent communication and were readily available to answer any questions. The space was very clean. Our 12 yr old loved having the upstairs loft to himself. We enjoyed glimpses of the volcano when the clouds cleared.
JulieSan Antonio, TexasAugust 2026 Loved this place!! José was such a kind, welcoming, and attentive host. He was always quick to respond, gave us great local recommendations, and made sure we had everything we needed!

Take the whole hotel
5 villas. 18 people. And the keys to the entire place, just for you.
One group at a time. Never two.
The day your group takes all 5 villas, the hotel closes to everyone else. A booked date goes entirely and doesn't come back until the following year.

Companies and team building
Get the team out of the meeting room. The day starts on the bike, carries on in the hot tub and ends at the fire pit. We arrange the bikes, the tours and the food.
Cycling clubs and groups
Secure bike storage, outdoor showers for after the ride, and mountain, gravel and road routes that start at the door. If the group doesn't bring bikes, you can rent them here.
Families and celebrations
A birthday, an anniversary, a family getting together after years apart. 6 bedrooms, a kitchen in every villa and the volcano behind every photo.
All of this is arranged for the group, so nobody has to coordinate a thing

Tell us how many you are and what dates you're looking at
We'll put together a proposal with the lodging, the bikes, the tours and the event all in it. A person answers, not a bot.
There's no published group rate because every group asks for something different: it depends on how many you are, how many nights and the season.
Let's talk
Tell us when you want to come
Send us your dates and we'll confirm availability and price over WhatsApp. You'll hear from us, not from a bot.
This is an enquiry, not a confirmed booking. If you'd rather book right now, each villa has its own calendar on Airbnb.
Inside the place
What it actually looks like
Photos of the hotel and the area. No heavy filters, no renders: this is what you'll find when you get here.
You can be part of this too
Bike & Bed grew out of something Tony Alvarado runs separately: tourism projects under shared ownership. If you are curious about the inside of that — owning a piece, not just staying — it lives on another site.
