"Staff made the stay exceedingly pleasant "

"We loved the beautiful, clean rooms and property. Lots of wildlife around and a very friendly staff member whobwalked us around the trails to locate more. The breakfast was great! Hot water and a.c. were 100% reliable which seems rare in a lot of places. Thanks!"

"Casa Donna Rosa was an incredibly peaceful and rejuvenating retreat. Each morning, we enjoyed feeding the birds from our porch with fresh bananas thoughtfully provided by our hosts, Carlos and Werner—a simple ritual that quickly became a highlight of our stay. Carlos and Werner were exceptionally gracious and attentive, always ensuring we felt welcome and well cared for. Every morning they prepared a delicious, homemade breakfast and offered wonderful recommendations for exploring the area, which made our experience even more memorable. We left feeling refreshed and grateful—and we truly hope to return someday. "

"Our stay at La Anita was the highlight of our two week trip traveling throughout Costa Rica. Pablo, the owner, is a superb and gracious host who pays the utmost attention to every minute detail. We were shown impeccable hospitality and made to feel welcomed and extremely comfortable. The chocolate tour was over the top!"

"I chose this hotel due to it's proximity to the Liberia airport. I wasn't finished acquiring my rental car until 1700 hrs and did not want to drive 3 or 4 more hours to La Fortuna or Monteverde. It served as my base for Lake Arenal Catamaran tour, Viento Fresco waterfall hike (which is changing it's name to Manakin Waterfall Nature Reserve), and a day at Treetopia hanginging bridges in Monteverde. The hot tub was a great way to relax after a days adventure. You could even pull off a Scandanavian type spa treatment alternating the hot tub and the cool pool for a hot/cold treatment. There are water activities, such as windsurfing and kayaking nearby on Lake Arenal. The hotel also has a beautiful view of Lake Arenal and has a 1 km hiking trail on it's property. The gardens around the hotel are amazing. The brewery was the first brewery in Costa Rica. The owner JP and his son are the brewers and JP has achieved Master of Brewing Art. He will gladly give you a tour of the brewery. Allison and Jose were very friendly bartenders, both speaking good english. Allison makes an excellent spicy margarita. All the staff were excellent,the rooms were clean, and the bed was very comfortable. All in all it was a very good stay."

"Spotlessly clean room. Beautiful view for nature and sunset. Very cute bungalow. Comfortable bed. Nice breakfast included."

"The surrounding landscape and amenities were great, the dome tent that you can rent is awesome with a great view. The fact that it is far away from the touristy areas and still has ziplining/horseback riding/hiking/dining area make it a very good getaway."

"Spotless room with wonderful bed, lovely amenities (coffee/coffee maker, glass drinking glasses, mini fridge) and friendly, gracious staff in every position throughout the property. The pools were relaxing and/or rejuvenating (depending on the temperature), the grounds are beautifully maintained and the food is plentiful and delicious. Thank you for a lovely and relaxing stay!
