Vida Aventura Ranch

10/10 Excellent

"We really enjoyed our stay! Jorge made sure we had a pleasant stay and the staff was really nice. The unit we had was basic but clean, of a good size and well equipped. The breakfast was excellent (you can choose from 3 options) and we also had dinner there twice (there is nothing around), which was also good and well priced. We enjoyed the walking trails. It was a very relaxing stay. Note that the road to get to the ranch is bad so you need a 4x4. Even though it was remote, it was a great base to visit Rincon de la Vieja. We are very happy with our stay overall."

Bungalows Paraíso Celeste

10/10 Excellent

"Our family had a lovely stay here for 3 nights. The views are truly outstanding. We enjoyed a variety of different activities while in the area, but cooked all our meals in the room. The kitchenette is basic, but we managed just fine. The included breakfasts were a highlight - plentiful, fresh, homemade and delicious! We heard howler monkeys and saw toucans from the balcony! Don’t hesitate to book this property if you want a unique, beautiful, and peaceful place to stay while touring around Bijagua!"

On Lake Arenal - Near La Fortuna - New Pool and Deck August 2024 - Bird Watching

10/10 Excellent

"Beautiful view, beautiful property, well maintained roads to travel around by car to La Fortuna etc. Host was incredible, immediately responsive to any questions and resolved any issues within an hour. Excellent communication and suggestions, walkable to a beautiful coffee shop with a lake view, and a couple "sodas" My only comment would be if you are traveling with pets and intend to leave them while you visit attractions, it can be pretty warm in the house. There is a fan and a portable water based air conditioner but it still was pretty warm during the heat of the day. But it was a wonderful fun little place."

Lake Arenal Hotel, Brewery & Farm

10/10 Excellent

"My family and I had a great stay here! JP and his associates welcomed us and made us feel at home. Complimentary breakfast was great and the other meals were delicious. The room itself was great given you are in the jungle, so there was no a/c and typical sugar ants but nothing unexpected. The pool and the views were gorgeous. The hot tub was down while we were there but it wasn’t missed. We took advantage of the Lake Tour and La Tia’s massage services which were both worth the money. We traveled to La Fortuna and used a shuttle service that picked us up right from the hotel. Overall, we would definitely stay here again!"

Simply the best, incredible views, pool, breakfast and a friend in the area!

10/10 Excellent

"Our family of four had the most wonderful week long stay! The host, Patrick, had the best recommendations and arranged all of our adventures. He made everything completely seamless and easy and was better than a travel agent! We all loved the beautiful house and all the details that included hand painted tiles, rock work, hand carved doors and beds, arched doorways, and hand painted sinks. The view could not be better of Arenal volcano and the lake and the mountains. We saw toucans and parakeets every day as well as beautiful hummingbirds of different varieties. We enjoyed the pool and jacuzzi every night. To top everything off, breakfast was truly delicious every single day with homemade smoothies, fresh fruits, eggs, meats, and waffles, French toast, or pancakes every day. Sometimes potatoes or rice and beans as well. We could not have asked for better anywhere! I hope we are able to return soon!"
