Quiet, secluded property with a great view of the volcano and lake. Owner super friendly and speaks great English. Was within walking distance to one restaurant and Sky Adventures. Very clean. Only downfall was it was hard to get to town.

This place has the most beautiful views of Arenal and the surrounding forest. We were able to see Tucan, Vultures and one other animal with our naked eyes. Such a beautiful place to stay. Last but not the least, the host Sergio. He is the sweetest Jentlemen I ever met. He has the best recommendations and offers help even in the middle of the night. Next time I visit, I will not have a second thought about making a reservation here just because of views and Sergio.

Stunningly beautiful view from our second floor balcony. Sergio was extremely helpful with everything we could need - his kindness made the trip special and memorable in itself. Gorgeous flora and fauna at property. Building is well-loved, well-built, and we felt very safe. Very comfortable bed, slept well. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Coffee-maker and bar fridge conveniently in room.

Gorgeous View
We LOVED our stay at Arenal Gardens! The view of Arenal Volcano and lake was spectacular!! It was very peaceful and had plenty of space. No air conditioning was not a problem with multiple fans and it cools off at night. There were huge windows everywhere- even in the shower- you feel like you are in a tree house in the jungle. The staff was there to greet us and help us get settled. We went to Sky Adventures the next morning and you can walk right next door and you are there. This little gem was well worth the Uber up from La Fortuna. If you do an activity at Sky Adventures you can also purchase a shuttle ride with them. They also have parking if you drive. It’s a good idea to bring some food/snacks with you as no stores are nearby. There is a lively restaurant next door at Sky Adventures. It was the best part of our trip- we would definitely come back!

We stayed two nights, came in late the first night. Sergio sent me pictures and messages on how the property looks earlier that day of where to go to find our room (not hard at all, we just arrived there at 10pm so it was dark and the pictures helped). This Lodge is right next to Sky Adventures but that doesn’t disrupt your stay. Only thing that would is the construction right outside. The property has a beautiful view of the lake and Arenal Volcano, and (minus the construction which doesn’t last all day) is in a quiet and peaceful area! Sergio gave us lunch and dinner suggestions which we ended up going to and these places had such great food! Sergio was very responsive, and our stay was lovely :) would come back!

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Nobody on site when I first arrived. Crazy steep walkway to building, then stairs up to room. Air conditioner worked, but took two hours to cool room. No curtains on some windows; undersized curtains on others. Ants everywhere. Jet tub malfunctioned and sprayed water everywhere. Construction immediately adjacent was noisy. Lots of traffic passing nearby to enter Sky Adventures. Overall, this place is out of the way. View from main house was amazing, but uncomfortable with a family of 10 or so on the patio and I was the only guest.

When we first got there, we recieved detailed instructions from Sergio for check in on whatsapp. This was the only nice thing about our stay. We stayed for one night in room number2. The room was dirty, the bathroom was dirty, it looks like they forgot to clean the room before our check-in. There’s a curtain in the shower that turned out to be a home for a lot of bugs and insects. We were very disappointed from this experience. It is not a cheap hotel and we were expecting at least a clean room.

Les photos sonr un peu trompeuses. Pas re restaurant ni sur place ni à proximité. En fait il faut se déplacer au moins à une 15 de minutes en auto pour trouver le moindre service. La chambre était propre mais très de base. Je n'ai pas aimé la disposition de la douche. La chambre a besoin d'un bon rafraîchissement. Le service de Sergio très courtois et attentionné.

Unbeatable view.
The view from our room was unbelievable. It was looking out directly at the volcano with the lake just to the side. The welcome was friendly and service very helpful. The only thing is that the room could use a little updating and TLC.
