"We had a wonderful stay at this beautiful property. Despite our short stay, we loved the secluded hot tubs, spacious and clean room, and excellent food at the restaurant. The friendly and accommodating staff, from the receptionist to the bartender and waiter, made our experience memorable."

"The cabins are quite basic, but the setting more than makes up for it—beautiful views and a peaceful location. Ronny is an excellent host and very welcoming."

"We showed up with our reservation and the owner said he'd already booked it for someone else through a different app. Left us stranded without a place to stay, and nightmare to cancel. Avoid at all costs. "

"Great location near Monteverde—close to hiking and nature, yet peaceful and private. One morning we even spotted green parrots from the back of the home, which was a lovely surprise. The property is new and well-maintained, with a smart layout that worked well for our family. We appreciated the 1.5 bathrooms and access to a washer and dryer, which made our stay more convenient.
The air conditioning in both rooms worked perfectly, keeping us cool. Inside, the home felt fresh and modern. We...

"An absolute gem of a spot!
You will not be disappointed with this well managed and beautiful situated inn on Lake Arenal. Quaint yellow cottages with gorgeous views, an infinity pool and hot tub, ancient looking artifacts, fanciful paintings and a welcoming staff make this place unique and relaxing. We added an extra night just to take advantage of the views from our porch and our lovely room. Sunsets are the highlight of the day.
Breakfast is included at the restaurant with bar on site.
Prices are a little high however the food is very good and the convenience on having it right on site makes it worth it.
Desk clerk, Kevin, was congenial and accommodating.
Make sure you check out the photo album in the bar which shows how this inn was built and a story of the man who built it.
A fascinating feature which will enhance your experience.

"Beautiful hotel on beautiful grounds. Our room opened to gardens and a stream. The food was amazing. Staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We enjoyed the trails around the hotel site.
We loved our stay and plan to return. Highly recommend staying here."
"Very nice resort. Great views - you're one on one with nature there. The private villas are the way to go. Great staff, too. They also have their own private nature trail to investigate as well.
Even though there was construction going on directly behind our villa it didn't impact our 3 night stay at all. I commend them for that.
The villa was very clean, the glass shower to the outdoors is very cool. Some bugs were able to make their way in but nothing unreasonable. CR construction standards can't be compared to the US but it was acceptable.
You're on the side of a mountain so be prepared for some steps to get to your room. If you need rooms to be "accessible" then CR probably isn't for you. You're either going up or down to get anywhere.
The convenience of being next to the Mistico Hanging Bridges was nice - one less destination to have to drive to.
The included morning buffet at the Lost Iguana was fantastic. Yeah, it's a short drive away but worth it. Each day they had some variation in their breakfast offerings. The staff there was great - shout out to David!
I don't know if I'd go back but if I did I know I wouldn't be disappointed."
"This is a beautiful place in the middle of the Rainforest with an impeccable view of the Arenal Volcano! The rooms are divided among separate dwellings for each group (example: 200s, 300s, etc) They offer rides to different areas of the property, but I took the opportunity to walk to must places within the property for some exercise. Nothing is really that far! Just remember to use your bug repellent when walking around outside. The view of the Volcano depends on the day. The moment I arrived, the view was stunning! The gentleman who helped with my bags and showed me the room insisted I had to take photos in that moment as he said it was the best view he'd seen in days. I'm glad I listened because within an hour the clouds had covered it. So when you see it clearly, take photos!! All of the staff here are so pleasant and very helpful. The free buffet style breakfast is wonderful. And the hot tub in the room was chef's kiss after long days of activity. There's also a spa and a gift shop that we're really nice! This place was so quiet and peaceful, especially upon walking in the morning. All you hear are the sounds of nature. I definitely recommend this place! I'd certainly stay here again."
"We had an amazing experience at Arenal Observatory. The staff was super friendly and bilingual. They even left special treats in our room for us :D Transportation was easily accessible and the trails were beautiful and well maintained. The restaurant served delicious food and has a great view! I highly recommend booking the shared casona. The rooms were spacious and clean and it has a small observation deck right next to the entrance! My only complaint is I wish there was a microwave and fridge even a shared one in the casona but other than that, a 12/10 experience <3"
