All units in the campground are fitted with a coffee machine. Accommodation includes a terrace with mountain views, a fully equipped kitchenette, an outdoor dining area and a private bathroom with walk-in shower. At the campground, every unit comes with bed linen and towels. Definitely the best place we stayed in Costa Rica. It was so great waking up in the tents with a fantastiv view on the vulkano. The tents were very comfortable and awesome. In the morning we even saw some tucans. The best part of our stay were Wendy and Roger. The wete so welcoming, heartwarming, helpful, and fun and it was always nice to have a little chat with them

Offering a garden and garden view, Arenal volcano apartment with panoramic view is set in El Castillo de La Fortuna, 4.6 km from Sky Adventures Arenal and 16 km from Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park. This apartment features free private parking, a shared kitchen and free WiFi. The property is non-smoking and is situated 26 km from La Fortuna Waterfall.

The apartment is composed of 1 bedroom, a fully equipped kitchenette, and 1 bathroom. For added privacy, the accommodation features a private entrance. This place is a hidden gem, the drive up was stunning, the host was so friendly and the apartment is beautifully decorated. The bed’s extremely comfortable, the shower has great pressure and everything is spotlessly clean. I wish I’d found this place sooner as I would happily spend a lot more time hear. The views take your breathe away. The night sounds are heavenly. There is a great breeze and the screens keep mosquitos away.

Mistico Arenal Hanging Bridges Park is 31 km from the holiday home, while Sky Adventures Arenal is 39 km away. Fortuna Airport is 55 km from the property. A beautiful compact villa with a wonderful view over the lake. Comfortable beds and nice bathrooms, a fully equipped kitchen and a nice garden. It's close enough to all the attractions of Arenal (we enjoyed hanging bridges, Zipline, kayak, hiking and watching the local fauna) as well as supermarkets, restaurants and cafés. At the same time it is in a quiet area, so we could thoroughly enjoy the stay with our family. The owner is very nice and helpful. Highly recommended!

The holiday home comes with 1 bedroom, a fully equipped kitchenette with a microwave and a toaster, and 1 bathroom with a walk-in shower and a hair dryer. Towels and bed linen are featured in the holiday home. This holiday home is allergy-free and non-smoking. This apartment was so well-built and comfortable, we were really impressed! It was super clean and there were screens on all the windows, allowing us the choice to use the AC or enjoy the fresh air, bug free. The view to the water was beautiful. The bed was comfortable. The small kitchen was very well equipped and had everything we needed. The hosts were very friendly. Next time we would stay longer and take the time to enjoy the pool.

The spacious holiday home is equipped with 5 bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen with a microwave, and 5 bathrooms. A flat-screen TV is provided.

Arenal Eco Zoo is 1.9 km from the holiday home, while Ecoglide Arenal Park is 21 km away. Fortuna Airport is 33 km from the property. A wonderful place! ... Really "in the sky", all around only nature, no view of houses. Very good for birdwatching, toucans come by daily and hummingbirds are everywhere. There is an observation platform. You can see the volcano and Lake Arenal from everywhere on the property and the many armchairs grouped around the house. The people from the agency are very friendly and helpful. We missed some things in the kitchen and bedside lamps, everything was done immediately. You have to know that there are three units on the property. In addition to the large house with four bedrooms (which we rented), there is a (very) small unit in a kind of garden house for 2 people and another house with 2 bedrooms.
