Villa Love Arenal - Lake & Volcano Views

We loved Love Arenal! A clean and comfortable home with a laid back atmosphere. The Super down the street was perfect for snacks and drinks. We enjoyed empanadas from the sopa and had three lovely dinners a short walk away to Fusion Arenal. Maria was very helpful and so nice. The 24 hour power outage was not a problem. Fusion even served dinner through it with candles on the tables. I would recommend bringing an umbrella and light rain ponchos . We walked to a very cool organic farm. We were able to get Uber to take us to hot springs and hikes. Beautiful rainbows, clouds, many birds and howler monkeys calling at night. Thank you!

Beautiful, beautiful, beautiful! The views were magnificent. Only 2 downsides, a very “yappy” dog the first day and night and we couldn’t use the main television at all, only the small one in a bedroom. The pool was too cool because of where it's placed for the time of year we visited.

Great location for a relaxing stay. Several things to do in the area. Adequate kitchen, but hard to accommodate meals for our large group of 7. The deck area was great! Very good restaurants within walking area! The WiFi tended to be spotty. When describing the location please use El Castillo as the main town location. We came the back road and GPS location didn’t match the coordinates. And we didn’t have cell phone service. It was a fun adventure! Excellent responses and even a pontoon tour provided by our contact person Manerique.

We enjoyed our stay here. There are plenty of beds and the kitchen was very well furnished. We did not have any sunny days, but the views and the quiet were great! The bedrooms have locks, but the rest of the home is open to the outdoors. We had no issues with any critters. Great little market at the base of the driveway as well as a great restaurant. You are about 45 minutes from Fortuna. Finding the home was difficult. There are no addresses here and it was dark. The driveway is very, very, very steep. The hosts were very helpful - use WhatsApp to communicate. Our family felt very safe and enjoyed the unique setting.

We had a lovely time! The house is a bit out of town, so nice and quite but easy access to all the fun activities and great food. Would definitely stay here again. PS - Manager was able to book a last minute fishing trip for us and we had a great time!

This was a very lovely out of the way place to stay. The views in the morning were magnificent, and the kids enjoyed the small private pool with a waterfall on the property. The manager was very responsive and the people helping run the property were very kind and helpful. Keep in mind that it is a somewhat remote area in Costa Rica, and there are insects and utilities can randomly shut off sometimes. Overall it was a very lovely stay. We especially loved the large open living area overlooking the lake and the private pool. Parking is out of view of the road and covered for 2 cars although more could probably park there.

It was in a good location, very comfortable beds, beautiful view. It was advertised as kid friendly, had open staircase and electrical outlets at very tempting kid height, had to watch the 2 year old like a hawk. We heard howler monkeys, saw Scarlet Macaws at the house. Visited Margot sustainable farm, Sky Bridges and a couple of the hot springs. Had a very good time. Thank you
