"The villa was beautiful and spacious! Only one thing the hot water wasn't working and maybe they can add a safety bar for when stepping up or out of the tub/shower because it's a high step. The host was wonderful and went out of her way to make us feel like home."

We had a great time Ecoglide Arenal. There were lots of lines and some of the longest we had been on. Got to see lots of the area. We also went to TermoArenal and these hot spring were great and they were not crowded like some of the bigger ones

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveler

Very friendly people. Enjoyed a Spanish Catholic mass downtown. Nice downtown park.

4/5 - Good

Verified traveler

driving in this area is very scary & dangerous, but the rainforest is beautiful; was just a little disappointed because I came for the volcano, but you can't really get close to it, so if you're like me, & you just want to see a volcano, go elsewhere

5/5 - Excellent

Did the sky adventures zip line and hanging bridges home, hiked arenal volcano park, went horseback riding at Mistico park
