"Unique open air lodge. Open the large windows and photograph birds ehile sitting in the dining area. Large garden grounds and a private mountain trail. The full board meals were fabulous. Would highly recommend."

"Truly one of a kind! We stayed in an east bungalow surrounded by forest, monkeys, birds and the sound of the waterfall. Each bungalow is private and well appointed. From the staff to the food to the pools and activities, it is a 5 star experience all around. Just over an hour from LIR airport, this should be on your list of places not to miss while in CR."

"The villa has a great view of the lake and is extremely quiet. It’s secluded but still close to the main road and we felt like it was a safe area The directions provided by the owner are good but it is hard to find at night. The furniture, bedding and amenities are pretty old but we were not expecting 5 star. We loved Nuevo Arenal compared to the very touristy La Fortuna but there are of course more activities there. Overall very happy with the villa"

"This was a wonderful find. The property is well maintained and very beautiful. The staff is courteous. The food was really good. We had massage and that was also fantastic. I would recommend. "

"Amazing view on Lake Arenal. Plenty of amenities. Chill & friendly staff and owner. Artistic chef and great home made beer. This is a great value and worth the drive."

"Wonderful, welcoming staff. Easy hike to their private Rio Celeste swimming hole and easy drive to volcano hike. All in all, a wonderful stay."

"Warner and carlos are fantastic!! They greet you as soon as you arrive. They offer great information for any sight seeing you may be interested in doing and they will email or phone companys to assist with reservations for tours. The breakfast that is included with your stay is delicious and you get to watch all kinds of birds for your entertainment. Our room was absolutely beautiful with a rainfall shower, soaker tub, and the views from the balcony are breathtaking! You won't find a better place to stay in the area "

"This place is amazing. 100% one of the best hotels I have ever experienced. The staff is super friendly, the atmosphere is relaxing, and you get to see all kinds of wildlife onsite. "

"My husband and I went here for our Anniversary and we were not disappointed. Everyone from Patrick, his wife, the housekeeper made us feel welcome. The drivers were like family by the end of the day, Miguel and Luis are the best! Patrick was a great help suggesting and helping plan our tours. All you have to do is sit back and enjoy yourself."
