Quiet, secluded property with a great view of the volcano and lake. Owner super friendly and speaks great English. Was within walking distance to one restaurant and Sky Adventures. Very clean. Only downfall was it was hard to get to town.

Nobody on site when I first arrived. Crazy steep walkway to building, then stairs up to room. Air conditioner worked, but took two hours to cool room. No curtains on some windows; undersized curtains on others. Ants everywhere. Jet tub malfunctioned and sprayed water everywhere. Construction immediately adjacent was noisy. Lots of traffic passing nearby to enter Sky Adventures. Overall, this place is out of the way. View from main house was amazing, but uncomfortable with a family of 10 or so on the patio and I was the only guest.

Stunningly beautiful view from our second floor balcony. Sergio was extremely helpful with everything we could need - his kindness made the trip special and memorable in itself. Gorgeous flora and fauna at property. Building is well-loved, well-built, and we felt very safe. Very comfortable bed, slept well. Plenty of hot water and good water pressure. Coffee-maker and bar fridge conveniently in room.

When we first got there, we recieved detailed instructions from Sergio for check in on whatsapp. This was the only nice thing about our stay. We stayed for one night in room number2. The room was dirty, the bathroom was dirty, it looks like they forgot to clean the room before our check-in. There’s a curtain in the shower that turned out to be a home for a lot of bugs and insects. We were very disappointed from this experience. It is not a cheap hotel and we were expecting at least a clean room.

We stayed two nights, came in late the first night. Sergio sent me pictures and messages on how the property looks earlier that day of where to go to find our room (not hard at all, we just arrived there at 10pm so it was dark and the pictures helped). This Lodge is right next to Sky Adventures but that doesn’t disrupt your stay. Only thing that would is the construction right outside. The property has a beautiful view of the lake and Arenal Volcano, and (minus the construction which doesn’t last all day) is in a quiet and peaceful area! Sergio gave us lunch and dinner suggestions which we ended up going to and these places had such great food! Sergio was very responsive, and our stay was lovely :) would come back!

Sergio is super helpful and nice. The view from the room was amazing. There is a restaurant, Zip lining, and more within a 5 minutes walk (Sky adventures). I will absolutely come back to this location. Sergio knows where to go and all there is to know in CR. Extraordinary experience

Unbeatable view.
The view from our room was unbelievable. It was looking out directly at the volcano with the lake just to the side. The welcome was friendly and service very helpful. The only thing is that the room could use a little updating and TLC.

Amazing view and excellent service
The view from this place is breathtaking! I arrived just shortly before sunset and it was amazing. The service is second to none, Sergio is a great dude! Accomodations were more than adequate with nice cold AC. Breakfast was simple but cooked to order - nothing beats coffee with this view! I will definitely be staying again.

Fantastic views, rustic accomodation
The views make this place worth it. Incredibly beautiful. Stayed in the Suite Room with Bathtub - everything in the room could do with a bit of tlc. The tub was damaged, the toilet seat certainly needed replaced, the water flow was poor (but the shower was fine). There was no iron, and despite asking for one it never appeared. The bed featured a canopy net, but was purely for show as the top of the bed/netting remained exposed. AC worked fine. Staff were friendly, breakfast was nice and plentiful. Based solely on the views, I would recommend.

I checked in right at sunset and the view did not disappoint. nothing less than spectacular with an amazing view of the volcano. The rooms could use a bit of updating and maybe a few waters in the fridge for late arrivals. Also, they did not serve coffee or breakfast.
