    The underside of your car will scrape against the road exiting due to uneven ramp, too steep.

    Gorgeous location hidden within the jungle and by the river.

    This is by no means a criticism but you definitely will need a car as the inn is not within walking distance of shops attractions etc We hired a car which wasn’t a problem

    Comfortable and quiet, a total get away Lovely owners Trent and Javier who were incredibly helpful organising taxis and giving great advice where to eat The breakfast was fabulous and the rooms immaculate Also the have to mention the two lovely dogs and Peppa the Parrot who visits to say hello when she feels like it 😍

    We had a wonderful stay at Agua Inn! The location is stunning, tucked away in the jungle. The ambient sound of the flowing river next to the property added to the charm and relaxation. The included breakfast prepared by the lovely Adela was phenomenal and all the staff were so friendly and accommodating. Do not hesitate to book your stay here to experience true Costa Rican hospitality!

    this was one of the most incredible stays we've had in all of our travels. pictures don't do this place justice, you have to stay there to fully experience the serenity of falling asleep to the river each night and waking up to breakfast with the birds. Javier, Israel, and Adela are some of the kindest souls you could ever meet. Pepa (the bird) and Feo and Kila (the dogs) are the cherry on top of it all. there aren't many places we go that we immediately talk about coming back to, but this is definitely one of them. we felt close enough to the things we wanted to do (a hour to mistico, rio celeste, la fortuna) without being in an area that felt super touristy. the town of nuevo arenal itself has wonderful food options.

    We found that there are two La Fortunas in Costa Rica. That placed us an hour away from our arranged tour, meaning we had to leave very early to get to the other La Fortuna.

    Agua Inn is such a lovely place. The decor was beautiful. Breakfast was excellent. Staff was very helpful.

    The only thing to be aware of is a steep drive approaching the property. Take your time driving it especially in wet conditions.

    My husband and I went to Agua Inn this weekend, my mind was blown❤️. The place, the architecture, the vibe, the beautiful energy this so called "paradise in the forest" gave from the very first moment we arrived. Javier and Trent were beyond special and amazing with us, Feo and Kila, so sweet❤️ Pepa not so much, she scared the shit out of me🐦, gurl did not gave us a break😂🤭. Thank you Trent and Javier for the beautiful vibe, your kindness, that delicious breakfast and the amazing coffee, also thank Adela for her hospitality and kindness We are definitely coming back, hopefully this time a little bit longer ❤️ See you soon!
