The room was basic but the surroundings were surreal. The staff was wonderful and welcoming. The bed was comfortable. One recommendation: more/better face cloths! Besides that, the property is a gem. Loved our time on the hammocks by the pool area. The outdoor breakfast area was lovely as well.
View of the Arenal volcano from our porch in front of our room.
There was a coffee farm in bloom at the property next door.

Aunty Arenal was a purrrfect little oasis close to the strip in La Fortuna, but far away enough that it was a quiet little sanctuary. Also centrally located as all the activities I had planned were all in different locations!! (Unknowingly, this was so convenient!) I had an early morning tour and they quickly whipped up a simple but delicious breakfast (rice & beans, delicious plaintain, toast, there was an option of eggs that I opted out on). The room was spacious, clean and exactly what was needed after a day of adventures. Parking was fantastic and close to the room. Everyone was helpful with recommendations! There is also a sweet little kitty on the grounds that came up for a morning visit for some pet pets! Highly recommend as it was a great price point and area was extremely safe

The toilet clogged easily and they didn’t have a proper plunger. We wished the room had been cleaner/kept up better. But the people were very nice, and the property is beautiful. We did not try the breakfast.

My son (8) and I enjoyed this quiet place very much. Beautiful grounds. Nice breakfast. Not perfect ( internet was sometimes spotty; blinking light in the bathroom; toilet was not always flushing well) but for the price they charge you cannot expect perfection. We valued a very pleasant home-like stay, caring and friendly stuff, quiet nights with birds chirping, and close proximity to restaurants, supermarket and coffee/ chocolate tour. Very clean too. Would stay there again!

Lovely little accommodation just off the main drag of La Fortuna. Quiet, clean, safe. Lovely staff. Parking was right outside the doors to our unit which made unloading/loading our luggage a breeze. Breakfast was very good...perhaps the best I had on our two week trip to Costa Rica. Kids complained that the pool was cold. I would stay again.

This was part of an 8 day family trip to Costa Rica. We had 2 bedrooms- ideal for 2 teens and plenty of space to spread out. Cute place, convenient kitchen, super friendly and helpful staff! We were about 2 miles from the 'main' part of Fortuna, but an easy walk (less than 1/2 mile) from a mini part with several excellent restaurants (we ate at both red frog restaurants and the Caribbean one - plus picked up supplies from the grocery store and used same day laundry the day we left). We literally didn't use any cleaning service, but we had easy access to making some of our own food, visited the pools several times (chilly- but you could really hear the howler monkeys well) and spent some time on our front porch- typically petting the 2 hotel cats. Quiet and safe at night, next to a coffee/ chocolate tour (we didn't tour but started our daily coffee journey here), just down the street from a place who also had breakfast (and fruit out to draw beautiful birds), an amazing night tour and a phenomenal butterfly dome. Location was key without a car - and this place allowed us quiet and privacy along with easy access to other places. Washer was a big help- but dry time in rainy season is a challenge so be aware! Water pressure awesome (don't take that for granted! Very ecologically aware in their practices. Definite odor of mildew - but I don't know how you can avoid it in that climate. We'd stay again in a minute! Tx to all who posted earlier helpful reviews!
