Had a lovely weekend stay here. The view over Lake Arenal is unbelievable! Ana was a delight every morning and made wonderful breakfasts. Her sweet cats roaming around on the property was a huge plus for me. Great place to stay if you’re looking for somewhere quiet and undisturbed but still only 20 minutes from restaurants/conveniences. There are toucans in the trees next to the bungalow every morning.

The view and the owner/hostess made our stay! The personal attention at breakfast was delightful. This feels more like renting a villa with a morning chef than like a hotel. There are a couple good restaurants at the bottom of the hill for dinner. The drive to La Fortuna is 30 minutes. Be aware there is no air conditioning. There are windows with screens on 3 sides of the villa so the breeze is nice. In the morning you’ll hear a beautiful symphony of birds. I would stay here again.

This hotel is situated in quiet nature. The scenery is calming and so are the rooms. Every room has a view like out of a postcard of the lake and the mountain and greenery.
The staff are amazing, attentive and welcome but do not speak fluent English. It allowed me to practice my Spanish and also enjoy the culture even more.
The food - breakfast … I don’t know if there are enough words in any langue to describe the quality, presentation and taste. Everything is made in the open kitchen and there is no menu, what you are offered is what you get. You WILL be so pleased and want more.
I would recommend this location to anyone looking for a great escape. The location is a short distance to the ‘main’ area but that only adds to the feel and experience.
Lastly, there are no TVs in the room; the focus is on self and nature. This is a stay for a couple or for one person, depending on the level of rest one is looking for
I would recommend and I am looking forward to going back and staying again soon!

Unique place to stay, sensational uninterrupted views over Lake Arenal. Wake up to the sound of howler monkeys in the trees outside and sit on your deck in the evening watching flocks of parrots. We stayed in Pod 1 - recommend as has trees closest so you can see the birds right next to you. Amazing hosts Ana and Bastien, immaculate cleaning and care and attention to your guest experience is evident in all the thoughtful touches. Delicious breakfasts and Ana will also cook you dinner on request (highly recommend). 3 local restaurants within walking distance, however car is essential to reach activites (do not miss the Venado Caverns!)

The view is absolutely amazing and we loved the little secluded bungalow. The owners are so friendly and informative. The breakfast is amazing, it’s a 4 course meal and different each day. You start with a parfait, then a specialty pancake, the main course is eggs and a specialty side (empanadas, etc.) and then juice, definitely fills you up for an adventurous hike. I would definitely recommend this place. Almost forgot you have a special wake up call from the howler monkeys around 5:15 a.m.

Immaculate views and chill nature vibes

Little slice of paradise. Views are immaculate and the vibes are relaxed. Far enough from the touristy areas to feel authentic but close enough to the sights to reasonably do it all. Breakfast service was divine and a nice way to start the day off. Lack of AC not an issue at all, even when the temperature looks high because the breeze and shade make for ideal temperatures. We loved our stay and would recommend to any couple looking for a heightened experience in Arenal.

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here. The panoramic view of Lake Arenal is amazing and can be enjoyed from the bed, the sitting area, or the deck. Ana and her staff served the most delicious breakfast each morning. The room was very comfortable and was nicely made up each day while we were out exploring.

There are a few restaurants and small shops within walking distance, down a dirt road at the bottom of the hill. We rented a car at the airport in San Jose, and I think it might be tricky to get around without one as this is a fairly remote spot (in a good way).

La Fortuna is about a 40 minute drive away; we explored the town, visited the Tabacon hot springs (there are many others depending on your tastes), and did excursions to the Mistico hanging bridges, La Fortuna Waterfall, and Arenal Volcano lava fields.

Highly recommend for anyone looking for a scenic, private, peaceful and welcoming spot (and some amazing food) away from the commotion of town.

YES!

We had a one night stay here and it was wonderful! I had my family of 6 and got 3 rooms. I would say this was one of the most unique places I've ever stayed. I think the prop manager was off the day we arrived and I'm pretty sure the owner greeted us and kindly showed us around and introduced us to the cats. The free breakfast was AMAZING and I really can't get over how kind everyone was. I am surprised there aren't more reviews, they deserve it. You can tell and feel how much thought and care went into every detail. 10/10 would stay again.

We also had dinner here one night and it was excellent. As an avid birder, I spent a lot of time on our balcony in amazement at the sheer number of birds and the morning birdsong.

Hotel Laguna Arenal was phenomenal! The property is beautiful and definitely one of a kind. The bungalow was private and the views of Lake Arenal were spectacular.

The staff was extremely sweet and attentive. The owner of the resort made brea

This was the most lovely stay I've ever had in a hotel. Ever. It was amazing from the view to the accommodations to the staff. The owner is welcoming and happy to make your stay comfy. Just be aware that this location is very remote. Bring whatever you need in the way of food and drinks. Only breakfast is open. There are a few restaurants down the big hill but within walking distance that satisfied our want for wine and dinner. Overall you just can't beat this price for what this place offers. It was incredible.

This is absolutely a gem! The view of the hills and the lake from the room is breathtaking. Each of the 6 units are facing the lake Arenal. The property has a beautiful landscaping and a great layout to enjoy your stay. You wake up to birds' sounds in the morning and enjoy the relaxing evenings on the porch with the sunset view. The complete hot breakfast in the morning was awesome. Within 0.5 hr, you can drive to all of the nearby attractions including the La Fortuna waterfall, hot springs, and Arenal volcano. The staff goes above and beyond to make you feel at home. Anna is a superb host. She manages the kitchen and other requests during your stay. She really cares about the guests and makes sure they have everything they need for an awesome stay. We absolutely enjoyed our time here and will definitely go back to Costa Rica just to stay here again :)

These bungalows are awesome! Super clean, comfortable and they look exactly like the photos. The view from your private deck overlooks Lake Arenal as well as a ranch with cows grazing during the day. The owners are some of the nicest people I’ve met. The food was delicious and I highly recommend the tenderloin! You will need 4x4 to get up the hill. No air conditioning (it’s not needed) and no TV! Prepare to unplug and enjoy the beauty from your bed or large deck. Star gazing at night os unbelievable! Not suitable for children. We look forward to going back!

Just Book a room here!

Honestly, this place is amazing. The owners are lovely and the breakfasts each morning are absolutely delicious. We had freshly made juice, tea or coffee, fantastic porridge with fruits, and then a cooked breakfast. The bungalows were very clean, comfortable, and with stunning views. There are several restaurants down the road which is about a 5 min walk. Try the toucan restaurant the food is good and the people running it are great! All in all we would opt for this place over anything in la Fortuna.

We loved every thing about our stay at Hotel Laguna Arenal. Bastien and Ana Melena were helpful yet discreet. Our room was modern and cozy and had an panoramic view of the lake and tree canopy - perfect for birdwatching. Spending each morning drinking excellent coffee on the deck while watching toucans in nearby trees made it hard to leave the room to take advantage of the wonderful activities in the area, but I’m glad we did. Hiking at Arenal Volcano National Park, a night hike with Allen that our hosts arranged for us, and time at the hot springs were all great. When our days of activities were done, we appreciated returning to a quiet, nature-focused space away from touristy La Fortuna. Finally, I was nervous about traveling to Costa Rica during the Green (rainy) Season. Though my phone weather app made it look like it was raining all day, every day, it was generally at night, and never stopped us from doing anything. July was a great time to visit Arenal.
