"Our family of 5 enjoyed our 3 night stay here. The raging river so close to our balcony was impressive after a few days of heavy rain. Beds were comfortable, kitchen well equipped and we had plenty of space for 5. A couple of minor issues being advertised washer/dryer was actually a paid laundry service and pillow menu did not exist when requested although advertised. "

"It was a very unique and pretty property but was adjacent to the caretakers, whose outside property was not kept picked up. The inside of the studio apartment was neat and tidy but not impeccably clean. Great views of the Arenal Volcano and the place had beautiful flowers and landscaping. You have to drive up a very long and rocky drive to get there- no problem in a SUV 4x4 though. They provided coffee and towels, some toiletries, but there were no washcloths provided. The sheets and towels did...

"I loved the look of this house with its stunning views. The space is just right for 2 adults. We struggled to find this place at night: there aren't many street signs and our phone reception went in and out. Aside from that minor snafu, the location is beautiful for people looking for mornings woken up by roosters and the birds, peaceful views of the natural landscape, and down to earth vibes.
