Gorgeous property with such friendly and warm people. We loved every moment of our stay at this gem of a hotel. We felt like we were staying at a friend’s place. Every little thing was taken care of. They went above and beyond to meet our needs. All 3 owners were excellent. My favorite was Mercy at the restaurant. I will forever remember her kindness. She is a sweetheart.

A wonderful place in a beautiful location. I enjoyed the views, the trees, the peaceful surroundings, the many different birds and the sunsets I watched from the porch. But beyond all these beautiful things, arguable the best part of staying here is the host Carmen, an amazing person, who has made this little paradise together with her family and who also prepares a delicious breakfast (for humans and the birds that you get to watch while having breakfast).

Beautiful chalet, secluded enough to see monkeys and beautiful birds but close enough to town and to Parque Volcan Tenorio to make it convenient. Hosts were very kind and clearly willing to work on any single detail to make the stay enjoyable (a bottle of rose as a gift upon arrival, games for kids, a full well equipped kitchen... nothing was missing). I highly recommend the place.

Lovely Homestay feel to this hostel! The breakfast in the morning was huge and so yummy! The family were great: helping us with our buses and recommending the best ethical place to see sloths (sloths and frogs on Google maps is amazing). Their shower had hot water which was an absolute luxury. The kitchen was well equipped and super clean too. Cannot recommend enough!

The place was very comfortable. I appreciate the layout and amenities. The kitchen had a lot of supplies. I didn't realize the TV would have Netflix which was a pleasant surprise. The shower had hot water which you don't always find throughout Costa Rica.

This was a nice comfortable apartment, in a quieter neighborhood, 10-15mins walk from the main town of La Fortuna. From outside the apartment there is a nice view of the volcano. We enjoyed being able to spend time relaxing in the covered porch area when it rained. The kitchen had everything we needed for our stay, so we enjoyed having the option to cook for ourselves. The host, Olga, was very friendly and on hand to answers any questions we had.

A quiet location perfect for various trips in the Volcano Arenal area. You will have a lot of privacy there and you're just 10-15 min away from noisy and crowded La Fortuna. Nice swimming pool and tasty breakfasts :) Various birds are visiting the garden all day long, the best time to observe the nature is early morning :) There are two bedrooms with their own, fully equipped bathrooms. Well-equipped kitchen. And most importantly: very helpful hosts that were even following the weather news for us!
