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!

It all started with a nice and warm welcome from Huberth and Anyara. The place was super clean and had everything you needed to be considered a Home-Kitchen and cookware, clean bedsheets, bathroom amenities, towels...everything. The rooms were very spacious, and the living room had a lot of natural light. We had morning coffee on the balcony while enjoying nature. Also included is a very nice pool which we used every single day. It's an must have for all people visiting Costa Rica. We had a really great time.

The room was spacious and nice. It is located in between a couple of amazing sightseeing spots and is great to use as a base camp. Kees, the owner, is really helpful and friendly. Even before the trip he helped us a lot with putting our trip together. And when a sloth was in the yard of the hotel, he came to show us.
