Luxury In The Jungle Above Beautiful Lake Arenal with FREE BREAKFAST!

We were worried because it was well off the beaten path. The ride up was very bumpy and we didn’t know what to expect. Once we were there, we didn’t want to leave. The house was large with a lovely wrap around porch with lots of comfy chairs to take in the spectacular views. Howler monkeys and many different kinds of birds kept you amazed at every turn. The staff was very helpful and the only thing we were upset about was that our stay was not longer. We will be back!

The house and grounds were in great shape and the views are absolutely amazing. There were only 3 of us in the house but it could easily hold several families. We heard howler monkeys every day and saw toucans, macaws, coatis and even the local tabby cat and chihuahua. The lady that cooks breakfast every morning at the B&B, lives next door and she takes fresh eggs down each morning from the chickens kept on her property. All of the staff at the B&B are exceptionally helpful and friendly. We ate at the Phoenix restaurant all 3 nights we were there since it’s so convenient and the food is amazing. Juan and Luísa are also amazing and helped us with our Spanish. We are already making plans to return next year.

Our family really enjoyed our 2 night stay at this villa, which was made special by the B&B hospitality. It was comfortable, spacious, and private, with a great view of Arenal area as advertised. The grounds were well kept and we could hear howler monkeys every morning. The only thing guests should be aware of is the dirt roads to get to the villa are adventuresome. The first 25 min. are simply bumpy, but the last 1/2 Km driveway to the Villa is rutted and steep in some places. We had two cars, one of which didn't have four wheel drive and made it up, but would of been interesting if there was a lot of rain. No problem with a 4 wheel drive of course. The road was part of the adventure for the kids. The breakfast was delicious and nicely done with coffee, juice, and tasty costa rican fare. The men and women serving meals were so nice and helpful and eating with a few guests at other tables allowed some international exposure to the other tourist around. Really enjoyed the stay.

Challenging road on the way up the hill. Needed the 4x4. Nice house, affordable. Unfortunately, the volcano was hidden in the clouds. We had dinner at the restaurant at the B&B the first night. Really good.

The house exceeded our expectations and the pictures. It was perfect for our two families of four adults and three kids. The pool was a great source of entertainment for all ages. There was more than enough space for everyone to “do their thing” or to hang out together—beautiful kitchen, gorgeous living room, and a covered patio with enough comfortable seating for everyone to enjoy the stunning views towards the lake.

The owners, Gordon and Nancy, were warm and entertaining, and provided a wealth of information about the area and were wonderful company during a dinner at the Phoenix, the restaurant associated with property. The food was terrific and the staff was friendly and fun.

Everyone who works on the huge property is kind and helpful, with a special nod to Mey and Gabriel. Mey was able to help us in deciding where to go and what to see, and made phone calls for us to make sure we could schedule any activity that required advance notice.

The road up the hill made us grateful for our four wheel drive, but the destination makes it worth it.

We will definitely come back.
