Which La Fortuna is on your reservation?

For the Arenal Volcano area, look for La Fortuna, San Carlos, in Alajuela province. There is also a La Fortuna in Bagaces, Guanacaste. If your map result says Bagaces, check the address with your host before booking a transfer to Arenal.

Send the property's full name and map pin rather than “La Fortuna” alone. A resort described as near Arenal may be outside the town center, so confirm that the destination selected for your quote matches the actual address.

Confirm the hotel reception or rental entrance

Ask your hotel which entrance leads to reception. For a rental, ask for the gate details and the place where you can unload your bags. Share any host-confirmed unusual access or 4x4-only requirement with Ozzy before reserving so route and vehicle suitability can be checked.

Include a property contact and any last check-in time. If your accommodation changes, ask Ozzy to confirm the revised route and quote.

Hotel first, or a hot springs visit?

The Arenal area is known for its hot springs. If you plan to visit after landing, check the location and entry time on your activity reservation. Decide whether you want to check in at your accommodation first or travel directly to the attraction.

Ask where you can leave your luggage and whether the hotel reception and attraction entrance are different. For an additional stop, send both map pins and your proposed timing so Ozzy can confirm the itinerary and price. Allow for airport formalities and the journey when choosing an activity time.

What if your group arrives on different flights?

First decide whether you prefer to travel together or arrange separate pickups. Send each flight number, arrival date, passenger count and luggage details. Ask Ozzy to confirm the pickup plan and quote before reserving; one flight's details do not describe a second arrival.
