Needs Improvement
I think the place has great potential, the view is great, has great access and location. A bit breezy, but I liked that. A couple appliances did not work (Stove and coffee maker), probably not reported to the manager, as I mentioned it to a employee and a maintenance company was there promptly the next morning. The kitchen is nice, although sparcely outfitted. The bedroom would be a lot nicer with a dresser and a place to hang clothes. Wifi was good. The bathroom felt more like a laundry room with a toilet rather that a bathroom with a W/D. The complex was mostly unoccupied, almost a ghost town feeling but we stayed at the end of the season. I think with a little TLC this would be a 4 or 5 star unit. It's quiet.

Absolutely beautiful, with a few minor issues.
First rate construction, beautiful interior, incredible view. You will definitely need a car. Name of the property: Arenal Malaku Condos. Please note: you are about 1 hour from La Fortuna, or 45 min from the Hot Springs. Property manager never got back to us with the name of the condo, a phone number, or any instructions how to get there. If you put up that name on the Internet, you can find it under Google Maps.
Internet connection at this condominium is extremely poor. There is no cable television, and you cannot stream Netflix or Amazon prime. They are planning to fix this, but from my understanding this has been a problem for more than six months, and the owner appears to not respond. I knocked on his door at 9 PM telling him I needed Internet or some form of cable and he answered the door in a speedo, refused to put on a pair of shorts, basically told me to go to hell. Don't expect much in the way of helpfulness.
So, regarding the place itself it's beautiful. All amenities are wonderful, except for the Internet. The owner is a bit of a jerk.

Great Location for Arenal area
My husband and I stayed 4 nights here. There is a great view of the lake and if the clouds have cleared, the volcano can be seen as well. The interior of the condo is clean and new with a nice bathroom and kitchen- the pool on the property is also nice. The property is secluded, private, and safe; this is the place to escape the crowds. We enjoyed the location for lake activities and hiking in Tenorio and Arenal parks. There are plenty of places to eat and little mini supers to buy snacks and beer nearby. All restaurants must be driven to as it doesn't seem safe to walk the road, especially at night.
The condo building looks like a highrise and is one of the most visible buildings on the hillside in the area. It does not provide the aesthetic of the other Costa Rican getaways in the area. Set below a windfarm (not visible from the balcony) the condo is barraged day and night with huge gusts of wind. Sleeping at night, despite being physically exhausted from our day activities, was not easy due to howling, whistling winds. The beds and pillows were hard, and the bedroom curtains did not keep out any light. Bring ear plugs and hope for more comfortable bedding and it should be a prime place to stay, especially if your goal in the Arenal area is to see the sights.
