Fabulous stay in Nuevo Arenal!

Casa Donna Rosa’s hosts are amazing, the property is beautiful and our king size villa was great. Comfy bed, tastefully decorated room and the shower was excellent. The huge balcony had a table, arm chairs and a kitchenette. All very comfortable. The breakfast every morning was the cherry on top as Carlos is a creative and talented chef. Don’t miss it! In addition, they provided excellent and detailed advice on attractions nearby going as far as making the reservations for us. I would not doubt in staying here again and really hope we have the opportunity to do it in the future.

Warner and carlos are fantastic!! They greet you as soon as you arrive. They offer great information for any sight seeing you may be interested in doing and they will email or phone companys to assist with reservations for tours. The breakfast that is included with your stay is delicious and you get to watch all kinds of birds for your entertainment. Our room was absolutely beautiful with a rainfall shower, soaker tub, and the views from the balcony are breathtaking! You won't find a better place to stay in the area

Carlos & Warner were amazing hosts! So many good things to say about the environment, cleanliness, the breakfast every morning was wonderful! They were able to give us great information regarding where to go , what to see & even go as far as telling us which routes to take that were better! They gave us great information on places to go eat and suggested certain ones that would work for us throughout each day! The natural wildlife was everywhere on their property, which was such a joy to see! Can’t say enough good things about our whole experience there.

Best B&B experience we have had

My husband and I stayed in the wonderful Royal Coop Suite at the Casa Donna Rosa Bed and Breakfast. We felt like royalty between the stunning accommodations and the attentive host. They were very accommodating to my dietary restrictions but also made delicious breakfast for my husband. To top it off they provided bananas to attract tropical birds to the porch of our room. Carlos and Werner know how to do things right.

Our hosts at Casa Donna could not have been more helpful and accommodating! Prior to arrival they helped us plan the perfect activities based on our interests to maximize our time in the area. Their in depth knowledge made our trip amazing. They handled all the reservations suggested restaurants and made everything easy. As most other reviewers mentioned, the breakfasts were outstanding. Our family of 5 enjoyed every single one. And the birds on the property were spectacular which was an added bonus. Thank you Casa Donna for making our trip a memorable one!

I can say enough about how wonderful this property is. Werner and Carlos are fantastic hosts who were knowledgeable about everything in the area. They helped us make reservations and pointed us in the direction of great places. The room was large and comfortable with a large soaking tub and rain shower. The deck had a beautiful view,nice pool and visiting toucans. The breakfast made by Carlos was 5 star worthy!! I highly recommend this property!

What made our stay at Casa Donna Rosa really memorable was the hospitality. Everything else was excellent of course (room, breakfast, views), but it was the warmth and helpful nature of both the hosts that we are going to remember for a long time. They provided recommendations on activities, restaurants and also made reservations on our behalf - a level of service you rarely get elsewhere. Highly recommend!

This is a great place for a night stay, we had a Saturday with bad luck of a fiesta until 2 a.m. in a large rec center close by. But the rooms are clean, new, everything you need, very well stocked, with a pool, nice balcony, swings, and breakfast is to die for. These owners really know how to lay it on you and help make your trip great with good advice.
