We love the Eagle's Nest for a morning coffee and just to enjoy the view. 30 minutes from La Fortuna and 5 minutes from 3 nice restaurants and markets. Will go back again in the future. "

Hummingbird Suite - Spectacular Views of Arenal Volcano and Lake

9.8 out of 10, Exceptional, (6)
"I loved the look of this house with its stunning views. The space is just right for 2 adults. We struggled to find this place at night: there aren't many street signs and our phone reception went in and out. Aside from that minor snafu, the location is beautiful for people looking for mornings woken up by roosters and the birds, peaceful views of the natural landscape, and down to earth vibes. Not a party place but a relaxing place instead. We got exactly what we wanted. Even did morning yoga at...

10.0 out of 10, Exceptional, (7)
"This location is fantastic. Check in, communication, check out, everything was as easy as it gets.The Good:The location itself was amazing. The town of El Castillo is, in my opinion a much better choice than La Fortuna. There's almost no traffic, its unique, gorgeous and you get that authentic local feel because there's seemingly few other tourists there. There are no souvenir shops or shops to browse but there are several places to eat breakfast, lunch and dinner and theres great coffee, views...

Property can be a little noisy in the morning when everyone is going to work since it is located directly on the main road to La Fortuna."

"We LOVED Relax House! It was perfect for my adult daughter and I. I could envision the place would be comfortable with 4-6 people. The house and its surroundings have so much character and charm! As an architect I appreciate the layout with the varied spaces and the use of the land. The indoor/outdoor areas were very private and secure. Communications with the Owner was always timely and with very clear instructions. I would highly recommend this place to anyone visiting La Fortuna!"

Rancho Margot - All meals included

3.0 star property
9.0 out of 10, Wonderful, (35)
"I really loved this place and already want to return. Two days is not enough time! It is rustic, like glamping accommodations but if you’re into health, authenticity, and sustainability, it’s such a dreamy, magical place. I loved the horse riding and farm tour. Make time for them. The farm tour is thorough! We wished we could make the cheese and soap but ran out of time to take those classes. The food was so great—the tomatoes taste like tomatoes! The WiFi is spotty in the cabin & frankly it...

We stayed busy at the resort with zip lining and enjoying the pools. They had a great observatory for viewing the voclano. The rooms were comfortable and spacious.
