Encantada Guest House: The word "Encantada" means "enchanted". What a perfect name for this wonderful hacienda nestled into the Lake Arenal district with a superb view of the volcano. Nita and Marty are gracious hosts who have created this lovely guest cottage with all the amenities that you could imagine. They have anticipated your every need and indulged your every whim. Besides the basic cooking facilites, this is a complete kitchen replete with any utensil you might need. You do not have to pack your corkscrew! There is a swimming pool and access to a hot tub, TV, DVD and dozens of movies. But the extraordinary views from their many vantage points and lounge areas will ensure that you spend optimal time outside. They have created a book with suggestions and recommendations in the area. They have done the thinking for you! The drive in might take getting used to. But it's better than practically all the roads in Costa Rica. You adjust quickly. And the "on-demand" hot water heater may need a nudge but this is a small price to pay for what will surely become one of your favorite vacation stays! You will be enchanted by Hacienda Encantada!
