    We just returned from a wonderful trip to Costa Rica. Our first four nights were spent at Elements near Lake Arenal. This rental was amazing. We had a group of 16 from age 1 to age 93 – there was plenty of room for everyone to have a space and a bathroom. The views were incredible – and it was nice to have the hot tubs and pool at the end of the day. We had Origens (Candy and Isabel) cook for us – they did breakfasts and dinners and packed lunches. The meals were delicious and varied and the desserts were yummy. Celeste helped us figure out and plan our days before we got there. Most of our attendees spent two days in the La Fortuna area rafting, rappelling, enjoying the hot springs, walking the Mistico hanging bridges, and doing a coffee/chocolate tour. On our last day, we had Celeste and her friend Lori do a breathwork and yoga class on site then went kayaking on the lake, at lunch in Lake Arenal and walked around, and did a night nature tour. The house managers Isaac and Brooke are great, as was Pedro, our main driver. We've stayed in a lot of VRBOs and this one definitely stands out.

    Place was absolutely amazing! Could not have asked for a better space or view. Even better, Coltin is by far the best property manager we’ve ever had at a rental. Not only was he there to help with the house but he and Celeste gave great recommendations on tours and even local restaurants. Couldn’t have asked for a better experience!!

    We went for my wife's 40th birthday with multiple families with kids. It was a perfect venue and stay that was closer to the Liberia airport vs Fortuna. We had Tucans on the property, parrots, and plenty of beautiful birds. There is enough distance from each of the villas that gave you some privacy, but close enough to also feel together easily. One issue you can run into in being in the jungle is bugs, but there were no mosquitos or any issues at all staying here, definitely nothing in the houses either. Nuevo Arenal is the local town about 10 min down the road, with some great food options and local stores to get provisions as needed. Definitely more locals and low key, which was nice. The host, Coltin, was phenomenal. We had several issues arise, including forgetting an important bag at the rental car agency at the airport, and Coltin was there to help and use local connections to get it all solved (even went to pickup the bag himself!). He also arranged special cake for the birthday, balloons, and was incredibly responsive. 10/10 for him. Overall, great experience.

    Maria was a great host. She booked us a couple excursions for a discounted rate, answered all our questions, made recommendations, and was very accommodating. And her English is good which was helpful because our Spanish is no bueno ;). Lake Arenal is beautiful and we enjoyed the small town but it was quite a drive to all our excursions in La Fortuna. Maria was there to greet us at check-in. The property was really pretty and well landscaped. The Enchanted Cottage felt private. It had all the essential appliances and cooking utensils. We wish we would have had a couple staple items like cooking oil and salt/pepper but nothing a quick trip to town the next day couldn’t fix. The cottage could use some cosmetic updating and the bed was a little harder than I would prefer. We loved hearing the birds and rain and just relaxing in between excursions. The Wi-Fi was good and they have cable TV. Very nice hosts, cute town, good restaurants nearby, private and clean cottage, pretty property! Thank you!

    Our family of seven spent four wonderful days at Arsenal Springs. We occupied two of the villas, Casa Grande and Casa Primera. The grounds and the views were beautiful! The Casa Grande had the had the most spectacular views. Maria Louisa was very friendly and hospitable. Chef Nixon catered a dinner for us one night. The food was wonderful and we all enjoyed his and his cousin’s service and humor. One suggestion: comfortable patio and pool furniture would have made the experience even better. Thank you for a wonderful vacation!

    We had such a great time! Property is absolutely beautiful set on hillside overlooking the lake. Villas were all very clean and unique, perfect for our group of 15 including 7 young kids. Tons of nearby activities in rainforest, volcanoes and towns. We also had the private chef cook several dinners and breakfasts. All the food was fantastic, great to stay in after days out exploring!

    The property was stunning. We were a party of 14 and used all of the villa's. The hill to get to the top house was a steep one but made for a good workout. The houses were all filled with towels, toilet paper and soap and were all very clean. Maria helped with each and every request and question we had making our visit a spectacular one.
