  • We stayed at the Sunset for 5 nights to celebrate my 40th birthday. We had a group of people from the East Coast, Mid West to Spain. The accomodations were spacious and comfortable. Patrick made us feel at home. He even baked me a cake for my birthday. He is a phenomonal chef. He wil cook to your needs and diets. Patrick also schedule our day trips and arranged a driver. The driver he arranged, Hymie, also served as our tour guide, interpreter, and personal shopper. I would definitley stay here again. Please call me if you would like more information.

  • This home is simply amazing. The home is very comfortable and clean. The pictures cannot compare to the actual experience. Waking up each morning to the view was paradise. Patrick and his team were the BEST. We spent a few days in another location and wished we would have stayed with Patrick the entire time. Thank you Patrick for a very memorable vacation. We will see you again. Rodney.

  • Our Internet business group had a week-long working retreat at Red Sunset in September 2009. Seven of us brought laptop computers and we all needed to be Internet-connected at once. The wireless connection at Red Sunset was effective and was usually reliable. We had ample working space for all of our laptops on tables in the large dining room - with an outstanding panoramic Arenal lakeview. The bedrooms were beautiful and the beds were comfortable. Many of us used the hot tub each evening. Paula and Marie cleaned daily and provided fresh bedding and towels as needed. Breakfasts and dinners were daily highlights. American-style breakfasts were always delicious and generous. We had also arranged for Patrick (the owner) and Kirsten (his friendly helper from Holland) to make dinner each day. Their gourmet American cuisine was varied and superb. Our group enjoyed three week-ending sightseeing excursions. The first was a swim at nearby Lake Cote - the caldera of an extinct volcano and the rumored landing site of extra-terrestrials. The second was a night visit to the Arenal Volcano (60 minutes' drive each way), where we were fortunate to observe a lava flow. The third was an ambitious trip to Rio Celeste National Park (90 minutes' drive each way) where our rugged seven- kilometer five-hour hike included a striking blue river and lagoon, blue thermal pools where we soaked, and a thunderous 100-foot blue waterfall. Our Lake Arenal working retreat was a success. We all enjoyed the stunning lakeview and occasional volcano view throughout our stay. Patrick and his staff were always pleased to assist with our special needs. We recommend Red Sunset as an excellent choice for a small business group or family with a need for Internet access, great food and accommodations, and excellent service.

  • We had a wonderful time at the Sunset. The home is beautiful, spacious, and everyone there is extremenly friendly. Our meals were fantastic - better than any restaurant. It was great to come back and relax together after a full day of activities. Patrick was the perfect host and arranged everything from airport pickup to our activities. Our group agreed that the Sunset had definitely exceeded our expectations and I recommend it to any family or group seeking the perfect vacation!

  • Our stay at Red Sunset was everything we hoped for!! With a group of seven, ages 48 to 80, we obviously had diverse needs and interests. Patrick went over and above to help us plan and was spot on in his recommendations. The accommodations are absolutely amazing. Upon arrival after dark in the rain, we walked into the house and were instantly charmed by the ambiance and sheer beauty. Each room was comfortable, clean and meticulously decorated with custom designed and built Costa Rican furniture. Patrick's breakfast was just incredible...what a way to start the day! Dinner's were just as wonderful. I could just go on and on...bottom line, stay at Red Sunset and I guarantee you won't be disappointed.

  • Red Sunset was quite simply a wonderful and magical experience for our family. Our group of nine, including siblings, spouses, grandparents and a 1-year-old baby, had chosen to come to Costa Rica for a special anniversary celebration. And we weren't disappointed! The house itself was beautiful and spacious. The setting overlooking the lake was spectacular, even with the rain. Owner and chef extraordinaire Patrick was a marvelous guide, recommending daily outings that we all enjoyed and then whipping up great gourmet breakfasts/dinners. It made for a unique and luxurious home-away-from-home. We left with memories for a lifetime. _ Tran Family, Houston, Tx

  • This is a beautiful house, lovingly furnished and cared for, with a spectacular view of the lake and the volcano. We were four couples and we could have easily had a fifth couple and some children sharing with parents because there is plenty of space and extra beds. Patrick, the owner and builder of this gorgeous retreat couldn't have been a better host. We had already been in Costa Rica for ten days when we arrived for a week's stay at the Red Sunset. Patrick was very sensitive to our needs in terms of recommending things for us to do that were unique to the Arenal area, including a visit with some indigenous people. Patrick recommended a driver, Jaime, who had a very comfortable van and we couldn't have had a better, nicer, more careful driver. Do ask Patrick to book Jaime if you're going there. Patrick is also a terrific and generous chef and cooked an amazing array of international treats for breakfast and dinner. It was far and away the best food we had in Costa Rica. We will definitely return and recommend Red Sunset to our friends.

  • Red Sunset is a GREAT place to stay...especially if you have a big group as we did. Expect to have beautiful views, delicious meals and helpful suggestions for planning day trips if needed, and also a great place to relax between your activities. Patrick and the Red Sunset staff are most helpful with any and everything you might need during your visit. Would highly recommend Red Sunset to anyone planning a trip to Costa Rica.

  • This year was my second visit to The Red Sunset. I found the house on the internet last year when I was playing around looking for information on Costa Rica. I shared the website with all of my children and we decided it was "the place" we wanted to stay. We were all so impressed with the house, the view, Patrick, Alexandra and the rest of his staff. I can't possibly say enough nice things. It was the best family vacation that we have ever been on. There were 9 of us - my husband, our 3 children, 2 spouses and 2 grandsons. We all loved it. I returned this summer with 1 son, my niece, her 2 teenagers and 2 of their friends. They were also super impressed. The house is wonderful and the setting for it just fantastic. Breakfast is included with the house, but both years we had most of our dinners there also because Patrick is such a fantastic cook. Last year he fixed special meals for my very picky grandson which we really appreciated. Patrick also helped us by hiring a lovely couple to drive us around the whole time we were there, and he helped us by arranging fun activities for us to do each day, and told us the good places to shop. I am actually thinking about investing in one of the villas that Patrick is in the process of designing and breaking ground for right now. We have fallen in love with Costa Rica, not only because it is such a beautiful country, but also because of the wonderful people who live there. We feel like we have an extended family there. Judy

  • This was the perfect place to stay at the start of our trip. The house is amazing and the owner/chef is wonderful. Patrick not only fed us well, but gave us invaluable advice on activites that were not to miss as well as the overpriced/overrated ones. Two thumbs up from all 5 of us!!
