We had such a great stay, we even extended it for one more day. It‘s a great property to stay in, very quiet with just nature around. The club house offers a lot of on top activities, such as table tennis, billiards, on some mornings you can even find a breakfast service. You can also book a massage (I recommend). The pool is absolutely fantastic! The hosts made us feel very welcome. They furnished the house with very much love and with best quality equipment (we have not experienced anywhere else in Costa Rica). Thank you Chris and Maricela, it was a pleasure to meet you and stay at your place!

I loved everything about the property, especially the view!!!! The cabins are very smart organized even if you booked a studio. The breakfast was very good and Wybe was very friendly and helped us to organize a great tour in Arenal.

What a fantastic place, from the terrace and your bedroom you have a beautiful view over the lake. The hosts are great and do everything to make you feel at home. Herwin makes a delicious French breakfast for you. Book quickly before it is sold out.

Spacious clean the view was beautiful and the bed very confortable to sleep in. There was a lot of attention to details such as board games, swings on the terrace and the hosts were absolutely exceptional. Kind, helpful, attentive! Absolutely worth it, for the value for money but even more for the hosts. Thank you, pura vida ❤️

Lovely, well-equipped cabin with charm. Good location in a nice small town with some good cafe / restaurant options nearby. The host was very helpful and came to the cabin to do the payment and we had a nice chat. A shame we only stayed one night passing through in transit. Would love to come back and stay again sometime!

The property was clean, spacious and in a lovely safe location (inside a gated community). The hosts were superb from start to finish, very accommodating and friendly, offering local advice and great recommendations. They went out of their way to make sure our stay was comfortable and relaxing. The bed is comfortable, the bathroom is clean and modern and the kitchen area has everything you need. The pool area is amazing.

Such an incredible location! We were in Room 2, at the top of the hill that the property is on, next to the pool, with a beautiful view over Lake Arenal and some of the volcano. There was so much wildlife all around - we loved watching the hummingbirds in the hedge near the pool. The restaurant on site served simple but delicious breakfasts and dinners. Our room and bathroom were big and comfortable. All the staff were friendly and helpful. A great place to stay!
