The wifi is very weak, it would be nice to have a stronger signal.

Breakfast was a good topical one. The view from the volcano is amazing and the hot shower 🚿 in private room is the best. Thanks

The gardens are really beautiful and you can see lots of birds, which is lovely. The breakfast in the morning is exceptional and really filling. Close to all the main spots.

The lodge is located at a perfect place- away from the crowds but so close to nature. Loved waking up to the sounds of the birds, rain, or thunder. There's a really nice place nearby to buy fresh coconut water and cane juice. The pets at the property are cute- the cat has mind of its own. The facilities are good as I prefer simplicity and it connects you to nature. The volcano view is amazing. The breakfast is also good and the lady who makes breakfast is very nice. Overall, I would recommend this place. Nothing flashy but only simplicity.

It gets a bit hot in the room and there is no airconditioning. We had two fans in the room which saved us and as soon as it rained the temperature was fine. Some ants in the room…do not leave trash in the trashcan

The location is unbeatable! You wake up with the volcano outside your window! The owner super friendly and she makes you your breakfast! Very close to la Fortuna waterfall (walking distance) and we were basically alone there (during rainy season) which was very quite and nice.

Only bad thing was no ac on rooms and it get pretty humid during the day

Perfect little place to stay next to nature

Breakfast was a little light.

My Arenal was right in our face; it was magnificent. The lodging was rustic, but met our needs. We did not have a car and Uber everywhere. No restaurants nearby; but Uber was cheap.

I would suggest adding a more clear sign that is lit at night at the entry, we arrived in late evening and missed the gate the first time.

The host was very welcoming, the breakfast was very good (best fresh fruits ever!), sounds of the multitude of birds in the morning was out of this world beautiful, and the view of the volcano and the tropical garden surrounding the property were fantastic. The property is older, the rooms are small, but have the main basics. The views, the birds, and the local beauty make up for lack of luxury.

The drawback is it’s not too far from main road leading to Fortuna waterfall so you’ll hear some car traffic. We did have ants when we checked in but they immediately took care of it when notified.

Excellent location with virtually unobstructed views of Arenal volcano. The grounds are well maintained with a relaxing atmosphere. The breakfast that is included was good as well. The bed was comfortable enough for a 2 night stay. Easy parking available onsite. Everything seems to be well organized and good WiFi signal. Close by restaurants, 8 min drive to downtown and 3 min drive to Fortuna waterfall. As others have mentioned, the cabins are rustic but have what’s needed for comfortable stay. No TV if it matters to anyone, didn’t for us. The refrigerator is a big plus too.

Tio Félix is very friendly, the location is perfect and the views of volcano arenal exceptional. The yard is splendid and well taken care of. Breakfast was good and we could even choose the time we wanted breakfast. Owners put bananas in the yard and it's super easy to look at all the birds!

We had a few ants come to our room one night. But- that is what happens in the rainforest.

The gardens are lovely and the Volcano is right outside the door. Tons of birds to watch. Big porch with rocking chairs to relax in.

An extra blanket would be nice

Cozy lodge on the countryside. It's a small family run lodge with few bungalows. Room was clean and comfortable and came with a nice breakfast. It's about 30min walk or a short Uber ride (3$) away from the city. The waterfall is in walking distance

You do need a car to go to and from the property.

The cabin is well set up and very clean. We were comfortable and very relaxed. The gardens around the cabins are beautiful with so many interesting birds. The breakfast was delicious and hearty.

Nothing we did not like :)

The location, the owners, Tio Félix is the best hugger :) Beautiful garden and toucans visit the garden. Amazing traditional breakfast as well.

The wall beside the bed has a rough texture and woke me up alot. The curtains are thin and we needed to unscrew the light bulb to sleep. We were up with early morning light every day because of all the light in the place. Accommodations are adjoining and at times it was hard to sleep for long with the noise of neighbours babies crying.

Beautiful to see tropical birds right outside each morning. We loved the morning chorus. Loved all the many flowers. Fireflies and cicadas to enjoy at night. It is an easy 30 min walk uphill to a gorgeous waterfall and neighbouring trail network. Downhill are restaurants, gardens, and more trails. I liked being away from town with reduced traffic noise.

Nothing could of been better!

Wonderful place to stay. The owners were fantastic. Would for sure stay again.

Credit card not accepted. Owner did not know English, but it was not a hurdle in the overall stay as both of us used Google translate.

Amazing location, great unobstructed view of Arenal Volcano. Staff was very friendly. We even milked cows at the farm. It was amazing to wake up to the sound of birds chirping. (The owner puts food for the birds in the morning and you're able to spot 7-8 species of birds). You get a good option of continental or typical(Costa Rican) breakfast prepared fresh. A lot of flora and fauna around with good nature vibe. The rooms are not fancy, but very clean. We travelled in December and did not need air conditioning at all.
