Aguacate Holiday Rentals

"Just the relaxing stay we needed"

"This place is a birder’s paradise. They have every tropical habitat you could want on the back trails, and proper guides to spot the birds. The rooms are very good, the front desk staff was charming. The views are spectacular. The feeders are jammed with birds. Only negative was that we were almost totally rained off for 24 hours, but that’s what can happen in a rainforest. I already want to return. "

"After reading several reviews that surfaced post-booking, I almost cancelled our reservation. However, we decided to chance it, and I am so glad we did! We stayed in a superior bungalow as a family of four (two adults, two teens) and had a wonderful experience. The superior bungalow was spacious and well-equipped with a functional AC, mini-fridge, and seating for four. The beds were firm, which I prefer. Housekeeping was excellent, visiting daily to mop and change towels; we felt completely safe leaving our belongings in the room. The hospitality was some of the best we have ever received. Cesar and the rest of the staff went above and beyond to help us. Regarding concerns about pests: the bungalows are rustic, so while a few ants or a gecko might pop in, we saw no mosquitoes or roaches. It felt very clean. The property is near a busy road, so traffic noise is audible, but we used earplugs to sleep soundly. Any noise was worth it for the view; sipping coffee while looking at the volcano was a highlight. Meals were basic but decent, affordable, and convenient. For those seeking more of an authentic, rustic experience with amazing views and top-tier service, I highly recommend this spot. For luxury, look elsewhere, but for us, it was just right! "

"The room has more than a local 4 stars hotel level quality. Little details show the owner looks after the room very well."

"What a wonderful place! The wildlife was all around, the breakfast was delicious (even for my picky kids), the room was authentic, and the views of the rainforest and volcano were spectacular. "

"The staff were friendly and helpful. The facility is nice , just a little commercial for me. "

"We loved the lush grounds!"

"The hot tub did not work initially but after informing them, they fixed it fast. The breakfast left more to be desired. It was kind of skimpy unless you got the rice and beans. They didn't give us a menu for the first two mornings even though we asked for one. Then we randomly got menus the next two mornings.. weird. The beds were a little hard but not terrible. They do not give you clean sheets or bath towels if they come clean your room. My son split a little chocolate on his sheets and they just turned the fitted sheet 180 degrees. Beautiful view and nice people. The AC worked but didn't get all the humidity of the room because the window in the bathroom only had a screen on it. Was beautiful but happy to move on to our next place."

"Beautiful grounds. Loved the variety of hot springs and views of arenal. Pool was nice. Private cottages. Exceeded my expectations. Slightly away from the town (shopping and restaurants) so you will have to rely on Ubers if not driving which during busy times and high traffic can take a while to get places. area is not pedestrian friendly. Breakfast is wonderful with lots of variety. "
