The property was absolutely beautiful and peacefully quiet. The resort overlooked a stunning lake, making for a breathtaking view. While it may not be the most kid-friendly spot, the owner’s friendly cats kept my little ones entertained! The hosts were incredibly warm and welcoming, making our stay even more enjoyable! 🐒

Unique place to stay, sensational uninterrupted views over Lake Arenal. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees outside and sit on your deck in the evening watching flocks of parrots. We stayed in Pod 1 - recommend as has trees closest so you can see the birds right next to you. Amazing hosts Ana and Bastien, immaculate cleaning and care and attention to your guest experience is evident in all the thoughtful touches. Delicious breakfasts and Ana will also cook you dinner on request (highly recommend). 3 local restaurants within walking distance, however car is essential to reach activites (do not miss the Venado Caverns!)

The view is absolutely amazing and we loved the little secluded bungalow. The owners are so friendly and informative. The breakfast is amazing, it’s a 4 course meal and different each day. You start with a parfait, then a specialty pancake, the main course is eggs and a specialty side (empanadas, etc.) and then juice, definitely fills you up for an adventurous hike. I would definitely recommend this place. Almost forgot you have a special wake up call from the howler monkeys around 5:15 a.m.

Immaculate views and chill nature vibes

Little slice of paradise. Views are immaculate and the vibes are relaxed. Far enough from the touristy areas to feel authentic but close enough to the sights to reasonably do it all. Breakfast service was divine and a nice way to start the day off. Lack of AC not an issue at all, even when the temperature looks high because the breeze and shade make for ideal temperatures. We loved our stay and would recommend to any couple looking for a heightened experience in Arenal.
