The property is beautifully nestled along a bubbling brook, close to lake Arenal with an easy drive to Liberia airport and all the hiking and activities near LaFortuna. Trent was a great host with great recos on places to eat nearby. (Gingerbread House is a must for dinner!) . Nice pool and amazing landscaping. Breakfast was simple but delicious. Great coffee, fresh orange juice and fresh fruit. eggs, meat. etc. highly recommend!

The room was amazing with a massive bed and really nice open shower, with the doors to the room opening right out to the pool area. Joanne and Simon were lovely and invited us to join them for a beer when we arrived. They have lots of lovely friendly dogs, and the staff at the restaurant next door were really nice and welcoming also!

The building with rooms, restaurant and terrace is beautiful. The entire property is meticulously kept and just gorgeous with fantastic lake and mountain views. You can do bird watching from your breakfast table and monkeys are all around. The fresh mixed fruit plate at breakfast is almost too much. The owner is very friendly, personable and full of advice on everything there us to do around.

Everything was AMAZING. We did all three tours and can’t recommend them enough. Aurelio was a perfect guide and provided a truly priceless experience. The food was unbelievably good and very reasonably priced, and the staff were all amazing. Our lodging was clean, comfortable, and private. All around it was a very memorable and pleasant experience. We didn’t want to leave.

First we could say the location which is in a nice place but the owner Eulilio and the staff have to be in front about what we liked. Kind and attentive, ready to satisfy you as well, thanks to them this stay in Aurora inn made it better again added to the site itself which is already a good point. We appreciated also the breakfast typical and adapted also to our expectations. Thank again to them.

This B&B was very relaxing, clean and comfortable and has a beautiful large garden. One of the highlights was Carlos who is a wonderful host and chef cook! The breakfast was delicious and we even managed to spot some toucans from our breakfast table. We would recommend this place to anyone.

It is a stunning place, with a breathtaking view of the lake and volcano. The staff were super friendly and made us feel very welcome. Fabian is an absolute star, I highly recommend a massage with him, it was by far the best experience I have had. The restaurant team are also fabulous, thanks to Juan and the ladies for making delicious food and being very hospitable. We really didn't want to leave, it was a perfect end to our 10 day trip in Costa Rica.

The appartement is just super great. Really luxurious. All equipment needed (and more) are inside, and the view is insane. We loved it so much, we cooked in order to watch the sunset while eating. I confirm that it is windy as stated in some other comments, but after staying in the region quite a lot, it is windy EVERYWHERE, not just there.

Just stay here. Friendly host. Great view. Spacious room, including bath spa. Received an upgrade at no extra cost, which was greatly appreciated. The property really is just metres outside the Sky Adventure Park, not the entrance down below, as the directions are somewhat vague.

The scenery in Nuevo Arenal is amazing. Both the volcano and the lake offer many chances for impressive photographs. The town has the necessities that a visitor might need. Restaurants serve good food at good prices.

Our trip was mostly rejuvenation, health and to access the volcano and hot springs. We went to Arenal park and hiked the trail to the Volcano. We saw a Capibara but most other wildlife is best viewed in the early morning. There were a lot of orchids in bloom along the trails. Going to EcoTermales Hotspring was the highlight. It's a gorgeous naturally constructed spa with layered pools, waterfalls all built with stacked granite rockery, bridges and pathways connect the pools, and there's plenty of seating, an open bar that serves the best mixed drinks. The restaurant served fresh healthy assortment of seafood and meats with veggie dishes with dessert at Lunch. The water was fed from the natural hotspring, which was circulated , refreshed constantly with fresh volcanic water. Attention to the holistic elements of nature were throughout. Staff and Service were top notch.

Everything was great,

Everything was great, only down side is the busy narrow road around the town. Outer locations were quieter! We Loved Nuevo Arenal. It is a quaint little town about 40 min from Arenal Town. Although you can not see the Volcano from there, there are Beautiful views of Lake Arenal.. Great Restaurants and People.

Not convenient for La Fortuna.

Not convenient for La Fortuna. It was a 20 min windy road drive each way. Nuevo Arenal was really noisy with dirt bikes and cars driving through. City has little to offer as far as food and entertainment.

The town is beautiful and located in a beautiful lush area. There are cute little restaurants and sodas. The locals were very friendly. My only complaint would be that the restaurants and stores etc close too early. It was hard finding something to eat/drink later in the evening
