"The property and staff were absolutely amazing! The views are stunning. Dinner was so good and the upper heated pool is more like a hot tub. The spa services were equally amazing! I can’t wait to come back!"

"The whole area is just wonderful! The house was so beautiful. All the extra touches like hand painted tiles throughout, an extensive library of local creatures that may be seen and even a spotting scope. This is Costa Rica, so be aware that when you find a house gecko in the house it brings you good luck. We were very lucky! We loved it. We even spotted a red eyed tree frog on the patio!The birds around are amazing… most we have never seen before. Many, Many humming birds and butterflies. The leaf cutter ants are amazing and they are all around the grounds working busily. We heard Howlers but never saw them. Went on a night hike up the road and spotted a vine snake, frogs and lizards. And a pit viper! Patrick was instrumental in helping us plan our adventures. Very willing and had loads of ideas for what our group was interested in. Air conditioning in the bedrooms was very much appreciated. Breakfasts were AMAZING and served with a smile. Wonderful stay and great house!If you have never been to Costa Rica before, be aware that all but the main roads are potholed gravel at the best and two track at the worst. And curvy. Very, very, curvy!"

"This property is special. It is small and intimate with so many fun activities to do. "

"Wonderful stay, unbeatable views. Check in/out process was easy and staff were very friendly and responsive. Breakfast buffet included at Blue Hibiscus, neighboring hotel, was great. All around, we were looking for someplace we can enjoy the views and immerse ourselves in nature, this was definitely the spot."

"Service was phenomenal. My family and I had one of the best meals ever at the restaurant. The chef is exceptional. Everything was charming, comfortable and easy going. Money very well spent. "

"Friendly and helpful check in, spacious, quiet and charming room. Easy access to the property off the highway, but the room felt secluded. We saw deer, acouti, and howler monkeys. Good breakfast buffet and an easy 45 minute drive to our car rental near the airport. "

"We enjoyed our stay at the Lake Arenal Brewery. Dinner and breakfast were great, the facilities were comfortable and the staff was helpful."

"Great view and a fun area. Chef was good and feels like staying right in the rainforest "

"Arenal Lodge was pure tranquility—secluded, peaceful, and incredibly welcoming. The staff made us feel right at home, and the stillness of the surroundings was unmatched. I had some of the best sleep of my life there. Waking up to a breathtaking view of the volcano from the pool felt surreal—there’s truly nothing like it in the area."
