This place is super special! You're tucked in the rainforest. Sounds of beautiful birds and frogs all around. Great evening walking tour. Breakfast was top notch! Our cabina was so cute and loved having multiple bedrooms and two bathrooms - family option.

We stayed here for a week in June. It was so peaceful in the jungle with howler monkeys serenading us in the early morning. The bird watching and night walks are fabulous. The food is delicious and the staff made us feel very at home. We plan to visit every year.

Arenal oasis is excellent option if you are looking for quiet isolated rustic lush green jungle environment. Full of howler monkeys and colourful birds. Good breakfast, all kind tours, polire customer service.easy 15 min walk to all Ind of restaurants, hot springs. Add another 15 minutes you will be in Fortuna park and downtown. If you are looking to stay around this area literally you don't need car.

This place is absolutely incredible! Our bungalow was clean and spacious and at night the sounds of nature made it feel like we were in a rainforest sound bath. The restaurant was beautiful, had such delicious, well-priced food we ended up eating there two nights in a row. At breakfast, fruit was set out for the birds so we could watch them as we ate! The butterfly dome on the property was magical. We went on the night walk tour and the sloth tour and really enjoyed both. There were also young sloths in the trees right by the entrance of the property! We didn't have a car, but it was easy to call an Uber and they arrived within minutes. If you are driving, there are spots for cars next to each of the bungalow. What I loved most about the place was how friendly and helpful everyone was. I'd like to send special thanks to Francisco at reception, who was so patient with all my questions and helped us plan our time/set up tours etc. I highly recommend this place!

Lots of wildlife and fauna on the property. Location very convenient-close proximity to restaurants and stores but away from the hectic traffic of main commercial area of La Fortuna. Friendly helpful staff but very rustic basic cabin. Our specific cabin needed repairs and update. In the open window/ventilation areas, the mesh screen had many holes which allowed bugs to enter the cabin especially at night when the lights were on.

Great stay in the forest

Loved our little cabin. Though we had close neighbours it still felt like you were in the middle of the forest. You could sit on the veranda and just listen to the sounds. Room was comfortable, though relatively basic. Had everything you needed like some hanging space (plus a full size under counter fridge - slightly randomly placed, but useful!). Bathroom was dated but all clean and working - and good water pressure/temperature. Breakfast was great, and restaurant reasonably priced on the other occasion we used it. Trails on the property were good and free to access, plus the butterfly cage. We also went on the night walk on the property (discounted price for guests) and highly recommend. Saw lots for a great price. In a rarity for Costa Rica there was a full pavement the whole way down to the main town, so you could walk the 2KM or so without going on the road. We stayed here without a car and did that a number of times. Uber also good in this area. Recommend doing the coffee/chocolate tour at North Fields almost opposite too - great value afternoon. Overall, this was the most unique accommodation we stayed in, and really glad we did.

The hotel forgot about us We emailed them to left them know our flight changed and we wou5now be arriving late and asked if it was ok or should we cancel our stay They assured the guard would be there to let us in our room. They did not have anyone there to help us we drove 3 hours to this hotel. So at midnight we were stranded 😞 Most of La fortuna was closed our driver called around to help find us a room at 1am Then early in the morning we had to Taco quickly back to Arenal Oasis before rafting excuses picking us up there. We only stayed one night at Arenal Oasis They were sorry we were stranded and stress and obviously didn't charge us for they missed night But that's it Staff was nicand polite Garden was beautiful, loved the vibe Beds were uncomfortable
