Amazing local stay
This place is a hidden gem. Blink and you'll miss it. In between Nuevo Arenal and La Fortuna, beautiful lake views and if it's clear, Arenal Volcano. Cozy cottages with everything you need to feel comfortable including a pool and large hot tub. Great food at the restaurant on site (breakfast, lunch, and dinner), and a small gift shop and another restaurant within walking distance. Great for couples and families!

This place has us wishing we could stay another week just to enjoy the beautiful view from the front porch of our own little ‘mansion.’ Everyone was so kind and attentive and the food was wonderful! Already dreaming about going back.

Nice lakeview rooms!
Such a lovely place with friendly staff, nice breakfasts, great views over the lake, and a nice private room. Pool was lovely with views, with a hot and cold pool available. Great to have a rental car to get around the area, but I would definitely stay here again.
