THE Ranch Villa Arenal - Location, Tradition, Nature and Adventure

Six of us stayed at The Ranch and loved every minute. The bedrooms were adequate (with A/C) with more than enough space for the six of us, but we spent most of our time out by the pool or on the back porch & outdoor dining area, which opened up into the house. The best part is that Yadira and Joaquin were there to welcome us and live next door so they were always close by if we needed anything.

Yadira cooked the most amazing meals for us at a very, very reasonable price and took care of the clean-up as well. We wanted to take her home with us! :-) She prepared breakfast and dinner for us most days and every single thing was delicious. It felt kind of like we lived there experiencing the local cuisine and lifestyle every day. I thought it was really cool that all of the money for meals went directly to her.

The location is close enough to all of the active pursuits that we were able to do white water rafting on the way from San Jose, mountain biking and Lost Canyon waterfall repelling with Desafio and Ziplining with Sky Adventures (best zip lining EVER).

We fell in love with Costa Rica and the people and plan to make it a regular place on our vacation rotation. We will definitely make it back to The Ranch.

Relaxing, with a great family gathering area & then individual rooms for alone quiet time.

We had Yadi make breakfast for us every morning she was amazing.

Thanks for the perfect vacation.

Only regret is that i wish we wouldve stayed here longer

The house had ample space for our family of 6. The location was great for exploring all the area had to offer. Yadi provided our meals and we were able to relax pool side and make the most of the Costa Rican outdoor living. We felt like we were welcomed to a family home rather than a vacation rental.

We rented the house for 3 nights. We had 4 adults and 4 children ages 9-15. The house had plenty of room for all of us. Yadira prepared a meal for us so we would have dinner when we arrived. Unfortunately, we got lost and it took about 3 more hours than expected to get to the house. Jorge was very patient and kind helping to get us on the right track and Yadira stayed and kept the food warm for us. She had the table set and delicious refreshing coconuts for us upon arrival. They also pre stocked the house at our request.

There is a very good restaraunt at the end of the street.

We enjoyed hanging by the pool and on the beautiful back porch with the best hammock ever!
