Rainforest Sanctuary - Cabin by a River
El Santuario Cabin – Your Romantic Escape in the Rainforest
Nestled beside a serene river and surrounded by lush rainforest, El Santuario Cabin offers the perfect romantic getaway. This cozy retreat is fully equipped with a Queen-size bed, private bathroom, hot water jacuzzi, fully equipped kitchen, TV, WiFi, and a terrace with breathtaking views of the river and forest.
Located within a 55-acre farm, the property is a paradise for nature lovers. Explore the winding trails through the rainforest, where you can spot sloths, howler monkeys, toucans, and many other bird species. The farm also features cacao, avocado, and papaya plantations, as well as farm animals like horses and cows.
Just a few steps from the cabin, you'll find a scenic viewpoint overlooking the majestic Arenal Volcano and Cerro Chato, offering some of the most spectacular sunsets. Enjoy a BBQ area and a cozy riverside fire pit for a magical evening under the stars.
Conveniently located only 10 minutes from downtown La Fortuna and 15 minutes from top hot springs like EcoTermales, El Santuario is the ideal base to explore Arenal.
Additional Experience: For an extra $50, enjoy a horseback riding tour through the farm and a hands-on cacao experience, where you'll learn the entire chocolate-making process from bean to bar!

La Fortuna stay
We had a great stay and the host was so nice. It was a little smaller than we expected but that ended up being fine.
