Cabañas del Lago was spectacular. We had a room right on the water. The nature was all around us and we couldn’t have been happier. We felt so at home and the amenities were spot on. Definitely the place to stay in Arenal.

Loved our stay…. Close to road so loud when trucks pass, nothing owners can do. Close to lots of great restaurants and activities. Bonus that Tarzan swing up the road. Owners very easy to communicate with and accommodating to early check in.

I loved the properly. The outside and buildings a well maintained and are newer. It is visually appealing, and quaint. Cabins are roomy but small enough to let you know you aren’t in your own home. AC+. Host was helpful with helping me setup activities. My only small recommendation is a little dusting of the appliances that are not often used and more towels/washcloths.

Beautiful atmosphere, good property
Very serene atmosphere with lake, ducks and greenery. Very good host who lives on property. He even provided firm mattress as I didn’t like that couch mattress.
Ample parking
The only issue was tin roof which made lot of noise during rain but after one day you stopped noticing it haha

Absolutely beautiful property! We sat on the front deck and watched turtles swim by every morning. Was a bit worried the water would smell but it didn’t at all. It was like your own little private sanctuary. Would stay here again!!
