Carlos and Werner have created the most amazing experience. Their home is just so comfortable and has everything you need. Carlos’ cooking is fantastic! If you’re lucky enough to have the Deutsch pancake you’ll love it. Werner was so good with the tours and really took the time to make sure I had the best experience, suggesting options that weren’t on my radar but were fantastic. Thank you for such a wonderful stay.

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!

A Hidden Paradise in Arenal – Unforgettable Stay! Villas Santa Maria is an absolute treasure! From the moment we arrived, we felt welcomed into a little slice of paradise. The property is stunning, surrounded by lush greenery, breathtaking mountain views, and a peaceful atmosphere that makes it the perfect getaway. The villas are beautifully designed—spacious, spotless, and thoughtfully equipped with everything needed for a comfortable stay. The attention to detail in both the accommodations and the hospitality truly sets this place apart. One of the highlights of our stay was the incredible breakfast prepared by Paul and Carol. Every morning, we were treated to a delicious homemade feast with fresh, high-quality ingredients. From perfectly cooked eggs and crispy bacon to fresh tropical fruit, homemade banana bread and the best locally sourced coffee, each meal was a delightful way to start the day. Their warm and welcoming nature made the experience even more special, making us feel right at home. The location is ideal—just a short drive to Arenal’s main attractions yet tucked away in a tranquil setting that allows you to truly relax and reconnect with nature. Whether you're here for adventure or relaxation, Villas Santa Maria is the perfect choice.

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!

Mary was so friendly and helpful. She went out of her way providing us with helpful information, logistical support and transportation. She checked on us regularly to ensure we had everything we needed, which we did. The home was in a beautiful area walking distance from Lake Arenal Park and recreation area and very close to restaurants and shops. Perfect weather...no need for a heater or air conditioner.

    Carlos's house is a gem as well as the host himself. A real homestay, tastefully furnished. His brekkies are real French cusine, never twice the same. Evenings at the balcony, or the morning bird visits are beautiful. Spaceusness, spotless cleanness. Ideal locaton if you wish to access Arenal, Monteverde and maybe Tenorio/Rio Celeste from one base. Good day trip ideas we got. The eateries Carlos recommends also are very good.
